We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities to build your skills and grow your career. Role Details Location: Candidates must be based within the Greater Toronto Area, Chatham, or Welland region. Initial work arrangement: Remote, supporting the project's Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase before construction begins, with occasional site visits for training and coordination with field crews. Hours: A base schedule of 40 hours per week during ECI, with overtime as required. Overtime is not guaranteed. Transition to construction: The role is expected to transition to on-site construction support when the project moves into Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) execution. Timing will depend on the project schedule. Travel: Occasional site travel during ECI, followed by regular travel to project sites across Ontario during construction. The Opportunity The Project Coordinator supports projects within the Major Projects division, initially providing planning and project coordination support during ECI, with an expected transition to field execution during EPC construction. Projects include high-voltage transmission lines, utility infrastructure, associated civil works, and multidisciplinary EPC projects. This opportunity suits someone with field coordination experience who is comfortable supporting preconstruction planning before moving into on-site construction coordination. During construction, you will coordinate daily activities, track progress, and connect field teams with the information and resources needed to keep construction moving. Key Elements of the Role During ECI, the focus will be on planning, project coordination, and preparation for construction. As the project moves into construction, responsibilities will include: Coordinate daily construction activities between crews, subcontractors, site supervision, and project management, aligning field work with schedules and execution plans. Monitor field progress, materials, equipment, and work sequencing, identifying and helping resolve issues that could affect construction delivery. Coordinate requests for information, submittals, drawing revisions, and document control so field teams have current information for construction.
