The first project we anticipate for this position is located in Courtenay, BC.
At Tectonica, we operate as a construction management company rather than a general contractor. Working with our team will allow you to focus on adding value to every stage of your projects since you will be acting on behalf of the owner rather than as their contractor.
Responsibilities:
- Budget Management: Work within an established project budget, contributing to updates and forecasting as the project progresses. Monitor costs closely and work with the construction manager to identify variances early and make adjustments as necessary to keep the project on track.
- Project Execution: Plan, schedule, organize, and direct day-to-day construction activities from start to finish in accordance with project drawings, specifications, and schedule.

- Safety and Compliance: Solid understanding of construction site safety and WorkSafeBC regulations, with the ability to implement and enforce safety protocols on-site. A minimum of Occupational First Aid (OFA) Level 2 (Intermediate) certification is required.
- Infection Control: Experience with Infection Control Procedures in medical construction environments is an asset. Candidates without this experience must be willing to complete the required training prior to mobilization.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work effectively with clients, municipalities, consultants, and trade subcontractors. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust across project teams.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey project information to a range of audiences.
- Initiative and Ownership: Self-motivated and eager to grow, with a willingness to seek and accept responsibility. A creative and critical thinker who takes full ownership of their projects and tasks.
