Project Manager — ICI Retrofit (MEP/Multitrade)

Location: Greater Toronto Area (Newmarket area) with occasional travel across Ontario

Compensation: $110,000–$150,000 base (DOE) + perks.

About the Role:

We’re hiring a Project Manager to lead owner-direct ICI retrofit and R&R; projects; mechanical room upgrades, boiler/chiller change-outs, and plant optimizations in courthouses, colleges/universities, malls, and specialty public facilities. You’ll coordinate multiple scopes (mechanical plus electrical, civil, structural), run live-site work with precision, and be the point person for owners, consultants, and union field teams.

This is a fit for a PM who enjoys complex retrofit puzzles in tight spaces, thrives in a collaborative, no-silos culture, and is happy to adopt and champion standard processes/systems.

Must-haves:

- 5–10+ years managing ICI retrofit or complex MEP projects (owner-direct or GC-side).

- Proven multitrade coordination beyond just mechanical (electrical/civil/structural awareness).

- Live, occupied facility experience (shutdown planning, risk controls, sequencing).

- Comfortable working with unionized field teams.

- Strong client presence, documentation discipline, and schedule/cost control.





- Willingness to adopt standardized processes and tools (and help others do the same).

Nice-to-haves:

- BIM/VDC literacy (model/spool review, clash/RFI triage); ability to vet third-party models.

- Prefab/spool experience with a shop environment.

- Estimating/proposal input across mechanical + civil + structural + sheet metal.

- Public-sector retrofit exposure (justice, higher-ed, healthcare).

- Valid driver’s license; ability to travel across Ontario as needed.

Responsibilities:

- Own full project delivery: schedule, budget, quality, risk, safety, and documentation.

- Coordinate multitrade scopes (mechanical + electrical + civil + structural) on owner-direct retrofit projects.

- Lead live-site execution: plan shutdowns, temporary systems, sequencing, and access (e.g., sensitive areas like courtrooms).

- Interface with owners, engineers, and inspectors; chair meetings; drive close-out.

- Manage unionized field crews and subs; support prefabrication/spool workflows with the shop.

- Run the paperwork that actually runs the job: RFIs, submittals, COs, cost-to-complete, lookaheads, progress claims.

- Champion internal systems and help mentor APMs/Coordinators.
