Job Description
If you're a commercial leader who thrives in complexity, owns outcomes, and brings the grit and judgment required to deliver major infrastructure work, this is the role where you'll make an impact.

We're looking for a Commercial Manager who can lead the commercial strategy on a large‑scale, highly regulated project. Someone who understands how projects are built, how contracts behave under pressure, and how to protect value while enabling teams to succeed. If you're decisive, proactive, and comfortable navigating technical, contractual, and stakeholder complexity - you'll fit right in.

This is an active opportunity for a high‑calibre commercial professional ready to step into a role with real influence.

  • Lead the Commercial Team and set the commercial strategy for a major project.
  • Manage Change Orders end‑to‑end, producing rigorous, evidence‑based commercial cases for entitlement, pricing, and claims.
  • Chair or participate in risk, trend, and change control forums.
  • Lead claim management and dispute resolution with clarity and confidence.
  • Identify and execute strategies that enhance project profitability.
  • Ensure contract and procedural compliance across all commercial activities.
  • Advise on contract negotiations and commercial positioning.
  • Provide proactive commercial guidance to project leadership, engineering, construction, and procurement.
  • Work closely with Construction Managers, Superintendents, Safety, Quality, and Project Controls to assess design changes and constructability impacts.
  • Support executive‑level reporting and commercial presentations to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Travel to the remote project site in Ontario for approximately one week per month (expenses reimbursed).

Qualifications
Must‑Have Requirements
These are non‑negotiable
and required for success in the role.

  • 8+ years of direct experience in a project role with a mid‑size to large general contractor
  • Commercial/Contract management experience in a complex project environment
  • Strong understanding of complex contracts
  • Proficiency in cost estimation, forecasting, scheduling, risk management, and reporting
  • Proficient in contract management and negotiation
  • Solid understanding of construction trades, safety, and construction techniques
  • Knowledge of construction industry trends and regulations
  • University degree in a construction‑related field, or equivalent experience
  • Major project experience on projects valued at $1B+
  • Ability to travel frequently to local and off‑site project locations, supported by a valid driver's licence
  • Ability to meet federal security clearance requirements for work on a nuclear project, including three consecutive years of verifiable residency in Canada or another country recognized under the project's security framework
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to achieve results through collaboration
  • Strong mentorship and coaching capability
  • High level of self‑awareness, an entrepreneurial mindset, and established personal values
  • Ability to thrive in a highly regulated, technically complex project environment

Strong Assets
These significantly strengthen a candidate's profile and are highly preferred.

  • Experience working on nuclear, industrial, or other highly regulated major projects
  • Demonstrated ability to navigate complex project governance and compliance environments
  • Experience leading teams or acting as a senior commercial or project lead on large‑scale infrastructure projects

If you see yourself in this role - and you meet the bar - we'd like to hear from you.
