Major Projects

Director, Major Projects Healthcare and Airport Infrastructure Greater Toronto Area Relocation Support Available Compensation: $185,000 to $225,000 We are partnering with one of Canada’s most established national builders on multiple senior leadership mandates within their Major Projects group. These are not standard project management roles. We are looking for proven construction executives who have already led major institutional work at scale and are ready to take ownership of complex, high profile builds that require technical depth, political maturity, commercial strength, and real leadership presence. The ideal candidates will come from a major Canadian general contractor, construction manager, P3 consortium, or large infrastructure delivery environment. Hospital experience is strongly preferred. Airport, major institutional, transit, public sector, or other technically complex live environment experience will also be highly relevant. This is a strong opportunity for senior construction leaders who want to be attached to landmark Canadian projects, work with sophisticated internal and external stakeholders, and operate at a level where delivery strategy, governance, risk, client management, and team leadership all matter. The Opportunity As Director, Major Projects, you will play a senior leadership role in the delivery of large scale institutional construction projects, including healthcare, hospital, airport, and other mission critical public infrastructure assignments. You will be responsible for leading complex project teams, managing executive level client relationships, overseeing commercial and delivery strategy, and ensuring major projects are delivered safely, profitably, and to a standard expected on nationally significant work. This role will suit someone who has already been trusted with major projects, understands the pressure of high value public infrastructure, and knows how to lead through complexity without losing control of schedule, cost, quality, safety, or client confidence. What You Will Be Leading You will be involved in major project delivery from preconstruction through closeout, including strategy, planning, execution, commissioning, and operational transition. You will lead multidisciplinary teams across construction, engineering, commercial, scheduling, estimating, project controls, safety, quality, commissioning, and client interface. You will work with senior stakeholders including owners, consultants, government bodies, joint venture partners, lenders, boards, and executive leadership. You will help shape delivery strategy on complex projects using models such as P3, design build, construction management, alliance, joint venture, and other major project structures. You will be expected to bring discipline, judgement, and calm leadership to large teams working under pressure. What We Are Looking For We are looking for senior construction leaders with significant experience delivering major institutional projects in Canada. The strongest candidates will bring: 15 to 20 plus years of progressive construction experience Senior leadership experience at Director, Senior Project Director, Project Executive, Operations Director, VP, or equivalent level Direct experience on hospital, healthcare, airport, major institutional, public sector, or large infrastructure projects Experience delivering projects in the hundreds of millions, ideally including projects approaching or exceeding $1B Strong understanding of P3, design build, construction management, joint venture, and complex public procurement environments Proven ability to lead large teams through complex delivery, commercial pressure, stakeholder demands, and schedule risk Strong project controls knowledge, including schedule, cost forecasting, budget management, risk, claims, change management, and reporting Experience dealing with consultants, owners, boards, government agencies, public sector clients, and senior executives Commercial strength, including contract strategy, negotiation, financial risk, dispute resolution, and governance A leadership style that is direct, credible, steady, and respected by senior project teams Hospital experience is a priority because of the complexity around infection control, commissioning, operational continuity, user group management, regulatory requirements, and live environment delivery. Airport experience is also highly attractive because of the similar complexity around phasing, security, operations, public interface, stakeholder management, and working in active facilities. Why This Role Will Appeal To A Senior Candidate This is a chance to step into a serious major projects platform with the backing of a large national construction organization. You will not be joining a small contractor trying to stretch into major projects. You will be joining a group that understands complex work, has the resources to compete, and is targeting leaders who can help deliver some of the most important infrastructure projects in the country. For the right person, this is a career defining leadership role. It offers scale, visibility, challenge, and the opportunity to be part of projects that will be talked about for years. This will appeal to candidates who are already successful but may be ready for a stronger platform, a more substantial mandate, a larger project portfolio, or a move into a more visible leadership seat. Location The role is based in the Greater Toronto Area. Candidates already located in Ontario are strongly preferred, but relocation will be considered for exceptional candidates from other Canadian markets. Relocation support is available where appropriate. Ideal Backgrounds Candidates may currently hold titles such as: Project Director Senior Project Director Project Executive Director of Construction Director, Major Projects Operations Director VP Construction VP Operations Senior Construction Manager Major Projects Lead The best fit will likely come from one of Canada’s larger general contractors, construction managers, P3 delivery partners, or infrastructure contractors with major institutional experience.
