Headquartered in Ottawa, we've built our reputation on strong industry relationships and a deep understanding of the markets we serve, delivering high-quality projects our clients can count on. We're also proud to be expanding our footprint, with operations now underway in Alberta and British Columbia.

ABOUT OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT: At VCL Construction, we foster a supportive, team-first culture where collaboration and a positive attitude drive everything we do. You'll work in an open, approachable setting where everyone - from peers to senior leaders - is accessible and engaged. We believe in celebrating our people and our successes, whether it's cake days for birthdays, team lunches (including chili days!), tree-decorating (during Holiday season), or getting together outside the office for group outings, like ball games.

WHAT WE OFFER: We are proud to invest in the growth of emerging talent. By providing meaningful hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities to grow, we aim to build long-term careers. VCL Construction offers competitive pay, strong opportunities for advancement, and a robust total rewards package. Full-time / permanent employees benefit from a contributory RRSP, and comprehensive benefits, including extended health and dental coverage, disability insurance, and life insurance.

ABOUT THE ROLE: As a Project Administrator at VCL Construction, you'll gain hands-on experience across the full construction lifecycle - from kickoff to closeout.



With mentorship and oversight from senior team members, you'll play an active role in project developments. Key responsibilities will include:

· Participating in client and on-site meetings, including taking and distributing minutes

· Supporting the Project Manager with proposals, tenders, budgets, cash flows, and schedules

· Tracking project status, identifying risks, and keeping the team informed

· Using scheduling and control tools to manage timelines, costs, and resources

· Assisting with subtrade quote reviews to ensure fairness and accuracy

· Managing change directives and change orders in the VCL Construction database

· Supporting project close-out, including substantial completion certificates and documentation

ABOUT YOU: We're looking for someone who brings a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine eagerness to learn and grow. You're comfortable working both independently and as part of a collaborative team, and you stay organized while managing multiple priorities. Strong communication skills in English - both written and verbal - are essential and required, along with solid proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel. Prior experience in project administration within the construction industry and experience with Microsoft Project, AutoCAD and Revit are considered assets.
