I’m supporting a global client that’s hiring a Senior Construction Specialist to lead large-scale infrastructure and industrial construction projects. This is a unique opportunity to be a part of largest construction in the area at 370 acres (150 hectares).

- Supervising contractors and managing construction schedules
- Supporting inspections, safety reviews, and quality control
- Handling site documentation and progress reporting
- Providing guidance to junior engineers and construction staff
You should have:
- Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (P.Eng. preferred)

- Strong understanding of foundations, earthworks, buried utilities, and large facility builds
- Familiarity with design-build projects and construction management processes
- Knowledge of CAD/BIM tools and local building codes
- Experience managing contractors and resolving site-level issues
If you’re an experienced construction professional who enjoys leading large projects from the ground up, I’d like to have a chat.
