Senior Apartment Construction Manager
About the role
As the Gatekeeper, the Senior Apartment Construction Manager is the linchpin between vision and reality. You guard the owner’s interests, unlock the full potential of our third-party GC/CM partners, and ensure every multifamily and mixed-use project rises from paper to occupancy with precision. You are not here to shuffle paper — you are here to demand results, challenge mediocrity, and drive wood-framed construction at scale.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in managing the intricacies of wood-framed construction with a demonstrated history of leadership and strategic oversight of multifamily project delivery. They will be a key team member within our Ottawa operations.
What You Will Own
- End-to-End Leadership (Ownership): Command the delivery of large-scale wood-framed apartment projects from shovel in the ground to keys in hand.
- Third-Party GC/CM Oversight (Accountability): Lead the selection, onboarding, and management of GC/CM partners. Hold their project managers, supers, and trades accountable for scope, safety, schedule, and quality.
- Operational Grit (Boldness): When GC performance slips, you step in — pushing, pulling, and problem-solving until execution is back on track.
- Schedule & Budget Discipline (Create Value): Guard the numbers. Protect pro formas. Deliver on promises. Identify opportunities for value engineering and efficiencies without compromising standards.
- Quality & Safety at Scale (Ingenuity): Champion wood-framed construction best practices. Own the culture of “zero shortcuts” — every site, every shift, every trade.
- Stakeholder Confidence (Trust & Collaboration): Be the voice of construction with the GC, trades and internal teams. Represent certainty in a high-stakes environment.
- Team Builder (Collaboration): Lead and mentor to align all parties in the field with our toughest standards.
- The Representative (Collaboration): Acting as the primary Owner’s representative, oversee in-field construction activities as carried out by our General Contracting partner on all wood-framed apartment and multi-family buildings in the region.
- Provide guidance and support for on-site resolution, particularly those related to wood-framed construction (e.g. moisture control, sound transference, structural integrity, and so on).
- Reviewing and interpreting issued-for-construction drawings, providing feedback and guidance in value engineering exercises, and ensuring that in-field work is executed in conjunction with all architectural and engineering stamped drawings.
What You Will Bring
- 10+ years of progressive construction leadership, with a deep track record in wood-framed apartment delivery.
- Proven success in both self-perform execution and third-party GC/CM oversight.
- Mastery in holding others accountable — from site trades to executive-level GCs.
- Fluency in scheduling, cost control, value engineering, and risk management.
- Presence that commands respect: you set the standard, then raise it.
- Technical Mastery - Complete understanding of wood framed construction
- Critical Thinking - Ability to identify the issue, figure out the solution and ensure immediate execution of the resolution.
Why You Because you know construction isn’t managed from behind a desk. You know how to push a GC without burning the bridge. You know how to walk a wood-framed site and see a dozen problems before anyone else does. You deliver — every time, no excuses.
EDUCATION Beneficial
- Associate's degree in Civil Engineering
- Associate's degree in Construction Management Services
