Job Description:

Are you a technical expert passionate about the art of building? Do you aspire to a strategic role within an organization that acts as builder, manager, and owner? We are partnering with a major player in the construction industry, established for over 20 years and recognized for delivering large-scale private residential projects and, more recently, institutional public projects. With a project volume approaching $300 to $500 million, this company is seeking strong leadership to structure its growth. As Director of Construction, you will play a pivotal role within the executive team. The company is going through an exciting transformation phase and seeks to integrate external best practices and innovation into its methods. The role is based in Montreal (West Island) or Gatineau, depending on your mobility, and targets a highly technical profile (Engineer or Architect) capable of mentoring a team and navigating complex projects. You will evolve in an environment, specifically in Engineering & Design, where technical rigour is valued as much as strategic vision.

Job Responsibility:

  • Ensure the strategic and operational direction of construction projects, from start-up to final delivery, guaranteeing adherence to budgets, schedules, and quality standards
  • Act as the ultimate technical reference for the team (methodology, product specifications, building envelope, structure) to resolve complex challenges on construction sites
  • Mentor, train, and develop a team of project managers and superintendents, fostering knowledge sharing and technical skill enhancement
  • Actively participate in internal process improvement by integrating technological tools (such as ACC) and innovative management methods drawn from your external experience
  • Collaborate closely with estimation and accounting departments to ensure project profitability, whether private (high-rise residential) or public (institutional tenders)
  • Maintain strong business relationships with partners, subcontractors, and clients while skillfully navigating an evolving environment

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Architecture
  • Member in good standing of the OIQ (Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec) or the OAQ (Ordre des architectes du Québec) – Strict requirement
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in a similar construction management or direction role in Quebec
  • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale projects ($50M+ projects)
  • Mixed experience in private projects (real estate development) and public projects (tenders) is a considerable asset
  • Recognized technical expertise in heavy residential construction (towers, multi-story) and institutional sectors
  • Mobilizing leadership capable of managing change, stabilizing teams, and fostering a positive collaborative climate
  • Mastery of legal and administrative aspects of construction in Quebec (contracts, bonding, CCQ/RBQ regulations)
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a synthetic mind for making informed decisions quickly
  • Knowledge of construction management software (e.g., Maestro, Autodesk Construction Cloud) is a major asset
  • Bilingualism (French and English) is required for this position
  • Excellent mastery of French is essential

Nice to have:

  • Mixed experience in private projects (real estate development) and public projects (tenders)
  • Knowledge of construction management software (e.g., Maestro, Autodesk Construction Cloud)
What we offer:
  • Opportunity to make a real impact on the direction of a well-capitalized and growing company
  • Work environment that values professional development, with access to continuous training to stay at the cutting edge of the industry
  • Collaboration with a team of seasoned engineers and architects in a culture focused on technical excellence
  • Participation in major projects that are shaping Quebec's real estate landscape
