About Goodwerk

Goodwerk Construction is a vertically integrated builder specializing in high-density, multi-residential, and student housing projects across Canada.

We combine development, design, construction, and operations under one roof — ensuring speed, cost efficiency, and uncompromising quality.

Our upcoming 10-storey prefab concrete high-rise in Saskatoon (±285 units / ±670 beds, 2 levels underground) is a flagship project that will redefine construction standards in the province.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an entrepreneurial Construction Director — a proven leader who can build a team, drive execution, and deliver a complex project from the ground up.

Reporting directly to ownership, you'll oversee all phases of delivery — from pre-construction planning and contract management through execution, quality control, and turnover.

You'll work closely with the Superintendent to ensure the project meets Goodwerk's highest standards for safety, quality, and schedule — while maintaining clear, data-driven reporting to ownership.

• Support the development of subcontract packages and negotiate contracts with clarity and precision.
• Prepare construction execution plans, logistics layouts, and crane positioning strategies.
• Collaborate with estimating, design, and procurement to ensure cost and constructability alignment.

Execution & Schedule Management

• Oversee all on-site construction from mobilization through occupancy.
• Partner with the Superintendent to plan manpower, sequencing, and daily priorities.
• Build and maintain the master construction schedule and 2–6 week lookahead plans.
• Identify risks, adjust phasing, and implement recovery strategies to protect the critical path.
• Provide weekly progress reports and monthly summaries to ownership outlining performance, risks, and mitigation steps.

Contracts & Financial Oversight

• Manage subcontracts, purchase orders, and vendor relationships.
• Track costs, productivity, and progress billing to maintain budget accuracy.
• Review and approve change orders, ensuring proper documentation and justification.
• Maintain transparent financial forecasting and reporting.

Leadership & Culture

• Build, mentor, and lead a high-performance site team including Superintendents, Field Engineers, Coordinators, and Safety Officers.
• Establish clear expectations, measurable goals, and a culture of ownership, accountability, and integrity.
• Foster open communication between trades, consultants, and ownership.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Champion Goodwerk's safety-first culture, ensuring full OHS compliance.
• Lead QA/QC programs, inspections, and deficiency tracking.
• Ensure timely coordination of permits, inspections, and occupancy milestones.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive construction experience, including leadership of multi-storey & prefab projects.
• Proven ability to deliver large, schedule-driven builds ($50M+) from pre-construction through completion.
• Expertise in pre-construction planning, scope definition, bid management, and contract execution.
• Strong background in budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and scheduling.
• Experienced in prefabricated/precast concrete erection and crane coordination.
• Proficient with Procore, Fieldwire, PlanGrid, MS Project, or Primavera.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and decision-making skills.

Preferred

• Experience with student housing or multi-residential high-rise construction.
