Project Manager – Industrial Capital Projects

Company Overview Cyntek Industrial is part of Cyntek Group, a boutique engineering firm with a 15-year track record delivering innovative automation solutions across the CPG, transportation, and industrial sectors. Alongside our automation work, we provide owner's-side project management for industrial capital projects: facility fit-outs, relocations, and process equipment installations. We are a small, high-performing team that succeeds by hiring smart, driven, exceptional people and giving them the freedom to do great work. The Opportunity We are looking for a Project Manager to join our capital projects team. You will work alongside our engineering lead on a multi-million-dollar heavy industrial facility relocation in the GTA. The project includes overhead cranes on new foundations, process equipment and pits, paint and wash facilities, and full mechanical and electrical services. It runs through permits, construction, the equipment move, and occupancy in 2027. Our engineering lead runs the project, sets the design basis, and makes the technical calls. You'll share the delivery load. You will own the schedule, cost tracking, procurement administration and approvals tracking, and coordinate the site day to day. As you grow into the role, you'll take the lead on more of the project, with a path to running capital projects of your own.

Manage POs, invoicing, holdbacks, and change orders through the client's purchasing process. Approvals & Stakeholders Coordinate permit submissions with the architect, engineers, and code consultant. The engineering lead sets the strategy. Track landlord, municipal, utility, and regulatory approvals (TSSA, ESA, MECP, gas and electrical utilities) and pre-start health and safety reviews. Serve as the day-to-day contact for consultants and contractors. Site & Construction Lead day-to-day site coordination: contractor access and sequencing in an occupied building, safety, inspections, and deficiencies. Coordinate the equipment relocation with riggers and client operations. Coordinate closeout: commissioning, deficiencies, as-builts, O&M manuals, and occupancy. Review drawings for coordination issues and scope gaps, and raise them with the engineering lead Qualifications Required 3+ years managing or coordinating industrial, commercial, or institutional construction or capital projects (fit-outs, plant expansions, equipment installations).
