Ideal Candidate Profile

They should be technically strong and comfortable working with drawings, consultants, tenders, construction schedules, and project documentation while reporting into a more senior Project Manager.

This role offers an opportunity to gain broader exposure to the owner/developer side of high-rise residential construction while continuing to build project management experience.
