8.5% - Expected year on year growth in construction. High demand for construction professionals.
Universal healthcare - Unlike the USA.
Good education - 92% of adults complete secondary education.

The end product is that Canada can offer you a security of work rarely available in the UK/elsewhere, coupled with the opportunity for genuine career progression & a highly rated lifestyle.

Several of the top 10 construction contractors in Canada, working on building projects of c£30m to £200m, are looking to recruit UK Construction Project Managers for their businesses in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

Many of these organisations been around for over 100 years and are regarded as some of the top employers in Canada, having been recognised by top awards/business press.

From a relocation perspective, the good news is that these companies have been recruiting from the UK for 15-20+ years, so they are experienced in handling the visa/work permit process and in making the transition as smooth as possible for you/any family.

They will also provide financial support to assist with any relocation.

The Role

Reporting to the Operations/Project Director, the Senior/Project Manager will be accountable for project planning and start-up, project financials, project pre-construction, project execution and close-out.

The way that projects in Canada are structured is a little different to what you'll have experienced in Scotland/the UK - Project Managers can come from both an operational project delivery background, a commercial background (quantity surveying), or even Design Management - but we've been recruiting in Canada for over 15 years and can walk you through this in detail, providing detailed job descriptions etc.

In order to be successful, you'll need a track record on a range of commercial, public sector, healthcare, or industrial building projects, valued at a minimum of £30m+.
