  • Ensure compliance with health and safety requirements on project sites and contribute to the application of best practices.
  • Oversee on-site construction operations, managing subcontractors, client, and stakeholders at higher-education facilities.
  • Navigate change/scope creep and solve technical challenges on site, always balancing costs, budgets schedules, and people.
  • Support the preparation of project upgrades, including estimates and documentation, for review and presentation to the client.
  • Develop an understanding of energy performance measures and sustainability considerations prior to committing to implementation.
  • Assist with day-to-day execution of construction activities, helping ensure alignment with budget, schedule, and quality requirements.
  • Deliver an exceptional client experience.
  • Your professional growth is an integral part of your role. At Ecosystem, you are encouraged to continuously sharpen your expertise, and step outside conventional boundaries. We value audacity: where others wait for solutions to be proven, we choose to be among the first to innovate. This role is based full-time on site to support effective execution and collaboration.

Your profile...

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • A minimum of 5 years’ experience with ownership of construction projects, encompassing technical oversight, project management, delivery, and execution.

  • Strong communication (written and verbal), listening, and negotiating skills in English.
  • Team player with a positive attitude, resilience, and determination.
  • Quick critical thinking ability under pressure.
  • Top-notch organizational skills.
  • Resourceful and excellent judgment.

What Ecosystem offers...

  • Competitive annual base salary ranging from $120,000 to $180,000, with final compensation determined based on a candidate’s experience, technical expertise, and skillset, as well as geographic location.
  • 401K matching and comprehensive group insurance package (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long term disability)— including a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) option with no employee payroll deductions.
  • Paid time off per year: 10 public holidays, a minimum of 15 days of vacation, and 5 personal days. We have paid time off between December 25 and January 1 when our offices close for the holiday period for a well-earned break.
  • Atypical construction schedule averaging of 40 to 45 hours per week.
  • Mentorship opportunities and unlimited professional training with no cap
  • Thriving people-first culture: we put our values in action in DEI, CSR, Innovation, and Social committees. We celebrate our successes together at Ecofest- watch the video here.
  • Those who change the world don’t just make recommendations- they make decisions and act on them. This is what we do at Ecosystem.
