Job Description

We are building capability in formwork on all concrete, not general civil. We seek someone who understands how concrete structures are built, not just how they are scheduled.

Travel will be frequent.

The Role

You will lead or support delivery of:

- Water retaining structures
- Bridges
- LRT platforms
- Transit structures

With a focus on:

- Formwork systems
- Discuss formwork strategy on all self‑perform projects
- Formwork evaluation and selection
- Concrete sequencing and execution
- Field‑driven constructability
- Oversee formwork scope on multiple projects
- Train and mentor field foreman and superintendents
- Inform division leaders on overall formwork progress and risk profile

This is a hands‑on technical leadership role, not a coordination role.

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not a traditional PM/Super role.

We Are Specifically Looking For Someone Who

- Has personally been involved in formwork and concrete assembly in the field
- Can walk a site and immediately identify sequencing risks
- Understands how structures actually go together under real constraints

Qualifications

- Proven experience delivering concrete structures (ideal experience includes bridges,



transit, or similar)
- Deep exposure to formwork systems and concrete sequencing
- Background from:
- Self‑perform general contractor, or
- Concrete/formwork subcontractor

- Ability to move between:

- Field execution
- Planning and problem‑solving

You Likely Will Not Be a Fit If

- Your experience is primarily utilities, paving, or linear works
- You have managed projects without being close to field execution
- Your focus has been strictly planning/scheduling vs. build methodology

Perks

- Competitive wages
- Well‑rounded employer‑paid benefits program including health, dental, vision care and employee assistance program
- RRSP matching program
- Educational assistance for employees who wish to pursue job‑performance enhancing education
- Recognition and annual salary reviews program
- Leadership conferences that allow employees to connect and collaborate
- Regular company‑wide engagement opportunities
