Job Description

Project Manager -- ICI Retrofit (MEP/Multitrade)
Location: Greater Toronto Area (Newmarket area) with occasional travel across Ontario
Compensation: $110,000-$150,000 base (DOE) + benefits.
About the Role:
We're hiring a Project Manager to lead owner-direct ICI retrofit and R&R projects; mechanical room upgrades, boiler/chiller change-outs, and plant optimizations in courthouses, colleges/universities, malls, and specialty public facilities. You'll coordinate multiple scopes (mechanical plus electrical, civil, structural), run live-site work with precision, and be the point person for owners, consultants, and union field teams.
This is a fit for a PM who enjoys complex retrofit puzzles in tight spaces, thrives in a collaborative, no-silos culture, and is happy to adopt and champion standard processes/systems.
Must-haves:

• 5-10+ years managing ICI retrofit or complex MEP projects (owner-direct or GC-side).
• Proven multitrade coordination beyond just mechanical (electrical/civil/structural awareness).
• Live, occupied facility experience (shutdown planning, risk controls, sequencing).
• Comfortable working with unionized field teams.
• Strong client presence, documentation discipline, and schedule/cost control.
• Willingness to adopt standardized processes and tools (and help others do the same).

Nice-to-haves:

• BIM/VDC literacy (model/spool review, clash/RFI triage); ability to vet third-party models.
• Prefab/spool experience with a shop environment.
• Estimating/proposal input across mechanical + civil + structural + sheet metal.
• Public-sector retrofit exposure (justice, higher-ed, healthcare).
• Valid driver's license; ability to travel across Ontario as needed.

Responsibilities:

• Own full project delivery: schedule, budget, quality, risk, safety, and documentation.
• Coordinate multitrade scopes (mechanical + electrical + civil + structural) on owner-direct retrofit projects.
• Lead live-site execution: plan shutdowns, temporary systems, sequencing, and access (e.g., sensitive areas like courtrooms).
• Interface with owners, engineers, and inspectors; chair meetings; drive close-out.
• Manage unionized field crews and subs; support prefabrication/spool workflows with the shop.
• Run the paperwork that actually runs the job: RFIs, submittals, COs, cost-to-complete, lookaheads, progress claims.
• Champion internal systems and help mentor APMs/Coordinators.
