It takes a lot of work to bring an idea from conception through to a finished product and keep things running smoothly along the way. Especially when that initial idea ranges from workstations, ancillary product and private offices to everything in between, to create unique office spaces that are often integrating with general contractors on large new construction projects.

This is the kind of challenge you love. You’re looking to bring your project management experience to a company offering autonomy, professional growth and the opportunity to take ownership over large projects.

We’re Holmes & Brakel, and we have what you’ve been looking for. Since 1975, we’ve been delivering unparalleled value in the contract furniture industry. Specializing in offices and workplaces, we offer a full suite of services that encompasses design, sourcing, and installation. Our success would be impossible without our unwavering customer focus; as a family business, we’ve been able to maintain that since we first started out.

Thanks to our success, we’re looking for an Architectural Environments Project Manager with excellent attention to detail to join our growing team.

Project Manager, Architectural Environments:

As our new Architectural Environments Project Manager, you’ll oversee 4 to 5 projects at a time, depending on their size. You’ll work on anything from a small office refurbishment to an entirely current office space for our clients. You’ll manage these projects from the initial engagement to the final completion.

You’ll take ownership over the entire process, schedules, evaluations of risk, and the outcome of the projects. We’ll look to you to ensure that project deliverables are completed on time to meet both corporate and project standards, and to work with other team members as needed to achieve client satisfaction and within project budgets. Practically speaking, here are some tasks that will keep you busy day-to-day:





- Participate in RFP and RFI responses, work with internal teams to secure new projects, and develop project execution plans
- Develop and update project schedules, identify tasks and resources, keep all parties informed of delays or changes in schedules, and provide performance reports for quality, cost forecast, and scheduling
- Ensure the project adheres to the client’s design intent as closely as possible, while remaining on budget, on schedule and without affecting the quality
- Provide technical expertise to the internal team, end-users, architect/design firms and general contractors from concept development through project completion
- Interact and communicate with members of internal/external project teams, client representatives, consultants, and trade contractors (Electricians, AV, millwork, etc.)
- Attend site meetings to discuss project and product capabilities, concerns and/or limitations, as well as assist with explaining site, product loading, and schedule requirements

Your ability to work collaboratively within our teams and with engineers, architects and designers, and subtrades will serve you well in this client and contractor-facing role. You’ll use your excellent interpersonal communication skills to build strong relationships with our clients. You’ll also be served well by your ability to plan, organize, and identify potential risks or issues and determine how to proactively avoid or manage these risks. You’ll trust your instincts and decision-making skills, but you’ll also be flexible and adapt to changes.

Qualifications:





- Experience in project management, in construction, constructed office environments, demountable partitions, or similar
- In-depth knowledge of or experience in the construction industry, including building materials, construction specifications, methods and procedures, safety, and quality management practices
- Experience managing project budgets and creating project schedules
- Knowledge of cost change management, construction laws, and building codes
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, Project) and any program used to modify, update, or edit PDF documents (e.g., Adobe Acrobat), CAD and specification software experience
- Valid driver’s license and access to your own vehicle
- Post-secondary degree or diploma in architectural technology, construction management or a related discipline

Working with Holmes & Brakel: This is a full-time, permanent position, from Monday to Friday, based out of our Toronto office. You’ll receive competitive compensation, commensurate with experience. You’ll also have access to a comprehensive benefits program as well as paid vacation. Salary range is $70,000 - $85,000.

While we’ve experienced some great success over the years, we’ve stayed true to our roots as a family business. Our employees love it here, and stay with us for a long time.

We would like to thank all applicants. Resumes are reviewed by the Hiring Manager. Due to the volume of resumes we receive, we will only contact individuals best suited for the opportunity. Holmes & Brakel is an equal opportunity employer. If chosen to participate in the interview process, reasonable accommodation is available upon request.
