ACCIONA is a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, delivering innovative, forward-thinking solutions in over 40 countries. We’re proud to be shaping some of the most complex and transformative infrastructure projects in North America.

In partnership with Metrolinx, ACCIONA is playing a key role in the design and construction of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) , a 9.2-kilometre westward addition to Toronto’s Line 5 light rail transit network. This major infrastructure project includes seven new stations and installation of rail and systems under a progressive design-build model.

Beyond its technical scope, the ECWE project represents a significant investment in sustainable urban mobility, expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5,800 tonnes annually and eliminate over 6.5 million vehicle trips each year when combined with the full Line 5.

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, multidisciplinary team on a complex, high-value project that supports long-term regional growth and environmental sustainability. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and advance your career with a global infrastructure leader, we encourage you to apply and grow with us.

Tunnels & Elevated Guideway Construction Manager is responsible for leading the safe, productive, and compliant delivery of both tunnelling (underground) and elevated guideway (above-ground) construction works on ECWE.

This role provides end-to-end construction leadership across complex civil and structural scopes, including tunnelling operations, underground structures, foundations, piers, and elevated superstructures, ensuring seamless coordination across multiple work fronts, disciplines, and stakeholders in often constrained urban and brownfield environments.

Main Responsibilities

Lead and manage all tunnel and elevated guideway construction activities, including excavation, ground support, structural lining, shafts, piers, columns, pier caps, and superstructure installation.

Oversee day-to-day field operations across multiple work fronts, ensuring compliance with approved drawings, specifications, and construction methodologies.

Drive construction sequencing, productivity, and schedule performance for both underground and elevated scopes.

Coordinate works with adjacent station construction, utilities, track, systems,



and third-party interfaces.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

Champion a strong safety culture across high-risk environments, including underground works and working at heights.

Ensure compliance with TRP safety policies, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.

Oversee QA/QC processes, inspections, testing, deficiency management, and close-out for all structural works.

Design & Technical Coordination

Collaborate with design teams to address constructability, staging, and access challenges across tunnels and elevated structures.

Review and support approval of shop drawings, method statements, lifting plans, tunnelling plans (e.g., TBM/SEM), and RFIs.

Manage design changes and assess impacts to cost, schedule, safety, and interfaces.

Stakeholder & Interface Management

Act as the primary construction interface for tunnel and elevated guideway scopes, coordinating with internal teams, subcontractors, inspectors, and third-party stakeholders.

Manage impacts to existing infrastructure, utilities, traffic, and adjacent properties in urban environments.

Support coordination with municipalities, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and transit stakeholders.

Risk, Reporting & Controls

Provide regular reporting on construction progress, safety metrics, risks, and key milestones.

Proactively identify and mitigate risks, including geotechnical conditions, access constraints, logistics, and interface conflicts.

Support claims avoidance and resolution through accurate documentation and proactive issue management.

Support readiness for track installation, systems integration, and commissioning activities.

Ensure completion of construction deliverables, as-built documentation, and deficiency close-out.

Coordinate with downstream teams to support transition to testing and revenue service.

Preferred Experience/Qualifications

Degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering,



Construction Management, or a related discipline is preferred.

Significant experience managing tunnelling, underground works, and/or elevated guideway/bridge construction on large infrastructure or transit projects.

Strong understanding of tunnelling methods (e.g., TBM, SEM/NATM, cut-and-cover) and elevated structural systems (precast and cast‑in‑place).

Experience in urban, brownfield, or live‑operations environments is highly desirable.

Experience managing unionized construction workforces is an asset.

Strong leadership and decision‑making skills in complex, safety‑critical environments.

Excellent coordination and stakeholder management capabilities.

Deep understanding of heavy civil construction sequencing, risk management, and interface coordination.

Ability to manage multiple work fronts and competing priorities.

Proficiency with construction management tools (e.g., MS Office, Bluebeam; BIM experience an asset).

This role offers a competitive base salary with compensation determined based on experience, qualifications, and internal equity.

In addition to base salary, this role includes a total rewards package that supports employee well‑being, development, and long‑term growth, subject to company policies and applicable provincial employment standards, including:

Paid vacation and sick leave

Group benefits and EFAP from your start date, with premiums paid by ACCIONA
