Toronto, Ontario, Canada Ecosystem Full time
Who we are... At Ecosystem, we believe we should be accountable for results. That's why we've integrated engineering and construction, seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And that's how we can efficiently solve complex energy challenges in the built environment.    Here are some of the projects we've been working on recently: University of Toronto, Humber College, and Toronto Zoo.
Why this role matters… This role is central to delivering on our strategic ambition: to scale our impact while staying true to our unique identity. As we take on increasingly ambitious projects, the challenge is to maintain breakthrough outcomes and a phenomenal experience for both clients and employees. Project Directors are the linchpin of this promise—ensuring autonomous, coherent project delivery across regions, supported by a strong, lean central core.
What you will do… Picture this: your morning begins with a strategic call to a client who's counting on you to keep their multi-million-dollar retrofit on track. By midday, you're walking through a mechanical room with your team, troubleshooting a technical challenge that could make or break the project's critical path. In the afternoon, you're mentoring a junior engineer, helping them connect today's decisions to tomorrow's success. Before the day ends, you're aligning budgets and guarantees with a Senior Project Director—because at Ecosystem, we own the outcome.  Every day brings a mix of strategy and action: influencing client expectations, steering technical solutions, and fostering a team culture where collaboration and curiosity thrive. You'll lead projects that matter— for our clients and for our dedicated employees.  You'll face challenges that demand both technical depth and leadership finesse: 
• How do you deliver guaranteed results on a project with tight timelines and evolving client needs? 
• How do you inspire a team to push boundaries while keeping safety and profitability front and center? 
• How do you turn a complex HVAC retrofit into a success story that strengthens our reputation?  Your profile...
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or equivalent field required   
  • 7+ years of experience in construction project management and leading teams  
  • Understanding and application of local permits and regulations 
  • Understanding of business risk and financial implications of decisions and judgment to balance schedule, budget, and project team efforts   
  • Knowledge and/or interest in energy systems in the built environment (boilers, chillers, and cogeneration plants)   
What Ecosystem offers...
  • Annual base salaries benchmarked and reviewed annually   
  • High talent density organization in a rock-solid business environment.  
  • "Ask me anything" approach from ownership and management.  
  • Internal technical training and mentorship opportunities.  
  • Team-oriented, collaborative work environment where curiosity and risk-taking are encouraged.  
  • Paid time off per year: We observe 10 public holidays, we offer 20 days of vacation, and 5 personal/sick days. On top of that, we have paid time off between December 25 and January 1 when our offices close for the holiday period for a well-earned break.     
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long-term disability, and RRSP.   
Join a mission-driven, stable organization with over 30 years of experience modernizing the built environment- delivering guaranteed results and generating over 30% in energy savings   We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
