About Renewal Development

Renewal Development is a fast-growing, innovative Vancouver-based residential construction company proving the possibilities of sustainable development.

We rescue, relocate, retrofit, and repurpose good homes from growing urban areas to non-urban communities in need of high-quality, cost-effective, climate-resilient housing.

To replicate and scale this model we have integrated four internal divisions: sustainable demolition, building lifting and relocation, home renovation, and home repurposing.

We act as a general contractor providing one streamlined service. Our mission is to maximize the preservation of good homes and good building materials while enabling a paradigm shift towards a more sustainable future.

The Opportunity

The Director of Operations is a senior leadership role responsible for the coordination, management, and successful execution of Renewal's multi-division construction teams and projects.

You will provide hands-on, outcomes-oriented leadership across our demolition, home relocation, and home repurposing divisions. Each division is led by a Project or General Manager.

This role ensures projects are delivered with precision, efficiency, and excellence - building operational discipline, ensuring safety and quality, managing budgets and schedules, and scaling our systems and teams as we continue to grow.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic & Operational Leadership

Oversee, coordinate, and manage the activities of our inter-connected divisions. Own day-to-day execution across all divisions; set goals, KPIs, and rhythms; drive accountability and continuous improvement. Develop and implement operational strategies, processes, and systems that improve efficiency and ensure seamless execution across all business units. Act as a key member of the senior leadership team, contributing to company strategy, annual planning, capacity modeling, and growth initiatives.

Project Delivery & Oversight

Oversee project scoping, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, permitting, execution, and close-out. Ensure projects across all divisions are completed on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. Oversee schedule management to align resources, timelines, and priorities across multiple complex projects. Drive operational problem-solving to remove bottlenecks and keep work flowing smoothly.

Financial Stewardship

Develop, manage, and monitor divisional and project budgets to ensure financial performance targets are met. Oversee cost tracking, forecasting, and reporting to maintain profitability and transparency. Track margins, cash-flow, and cost controls in partnership with Finance.

People & Team Leadership

Lead, coach, and performance-manage divisional managers, Project/General Managers, and site teams. Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Oversee recruitment, onboarding, training, workforce planning, and performance management processes. Develop training paths and skills matrices to strengthen team capability and career growth.

Safety & Quality

Champion a safety-first culture; enforce compliance with OH&S and all regulatory requirements. Implement QA/QC processes and conduct post-project reviews.

Systems & Process Improvement

Implement and refine systems for scheduling, budgeting, project tracking, and reporting. Ensure consistent operational procedures across all divisions to maintain quality control and minimize risk. Standardize SOPs, templates, and reporting; improve scheduling, logistics, and equipment utilization. Optimize vendor and subcontractor performance.

Stakeholder Management

Represent Renewal with clients, municipalities, utilities, and partners. Maintain strong communication and issue resolution.

Qualifications & Skills
