The Position & How You Will Contribute: Our client is looking for a Vice President, Construction to take command of its fibre-to-the-home build.

Responsibilities: Build Delivery & Predictability Contractor Management & Quality Set and run contractor strategy: selection, unit pricing, capacity against the build plan, performance scorecards, change orders and close-out.
Actively manage the contracts and enforce the guardrails already in place; act quickly when contractors miss on schedule, workmanship or restoration.
Raise quality standards across the program and make sure no area is released without complete and accurate as-builts.
Lead the construction organization – a Manager of Construction and a team of supervisors, coordinators and inspectors.
Build a culture where supervisors hold contractors accountable, with clear expectations, coaching and a sensible on-call model.
Permits, Safety & Construction Finance Manage the path to permission to build: municipal consents, road occupancy and pole attachment applications, utility coordination and Ontario One Call locates; build relationships with municipal staff in each new market.
Own construction safety and damage prevention, including contractor pre-qualification, OHSA compliance, site audits and incident follow-through.
Run construction finances with discipline: forecast versus budget, holdbacks and payment obligations under Ontario’s Construction Act, and clean inputs to Finance.




Manage the handoffs – upstream with engineering and design, downstream with network, installation and field teams – so built areas become sellable areas without delay.

You know how the work actually gets done in the field – whether you came up through construction, civil or utility work, or network engineering.
You manage contractors firmly and fairly, and you’re commercially sharp on unit-price contracts, change orders and claims.
You plan ahead and deliver predictably; you don’t confuse firefighting with progress.
You’re visible on site and comfortable spending most of your week with crews and vendors.
