Site Supervisor

Site Supervisor - Multi-Family Residential Construction
About Our Client
Our client is dedicated to improving the quality of housing and communities across Greater Victoria. They believe that building great communities goes beyond constructing homes - it's about creating thoughtful, well-designed environments where people thrive. Few things are more rewarding than seeing families move into their new homes, knowing that years of planning, collaboration, and craftsmanship across departments - from development and design to sales and construction - have brought a new community to life.

Who We Are
We're a Victoria-based group of millennial entrepreneurs passionate about building better communities. Our work is driven by creativity, sustainability, and social values - from creating unique public spaces like a floating tree dock in the Gorge waterway to engaging in local housing and urban planning discussions.

We see infill housing as key to solving our region's housing and climate challenges. Our goal is to bring diverse, high-quality housing options to walkable, compact neighbourhoods just outside downtown Victoria - communities that support all demographics and incomes. While our expertise is in innovative infill development, our foundation is craftsmanship: we build homes that stand out for their design, quality, and efficiency.

Who You Are
You're a strong, proactive leader who knows how to plan, coordinate, and delegate effectively. You're passionate about construction and people, value integrity and teamwork, and understand that
how
a project is built is just as important as
what
is built. Most importantly, you want to work somewhere where you're more than a number - a place you love to be part of.
