• Prepare clear project reports, updates, and recommendations for clients and Tiree leadership 

What You’ll Bring  

• 5+ years of construction project management experience, including direct experience with a general contractor or construction management firm 
• Hands-on experience delivering large-scale institutional, commercial, or public-sector building projects, such as government facilities, office buildings, and civic or infrastructure projects, including new builds, renovations, retrofits, and fit-ups 
• Strong working knowledge of construction methods, building codes, and industry standards 
• Experience with construction contracts, tendering and procurement processes, and site supervision 
• Proven ability to manage scope, schedule, budget, and change on active construction sites 
• Experience coordinating consultants, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams 
• Clear, confident communication skills, with the ability to provide practical updates and recommendations to clients and stakeholders 
• A post-secondary degree or diploma in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
