Several of the top 10 construction businesses in Canada, working on civil engineering infrastructure projects of c£10m to £200m+, are looking to recruit General Superintendents (read site/project based 'Senior Project Managers' from the UK), for their businesses in Toronto.
Many of these organisations been around for over 100 years and are regarded as some of the top employers in Canada, having been recognised by top awards/business press.
From a relocation perspective, the good news is that these companies have been recruiting from the UK for 15-20+ years, so they are experienced in handling the visa/work permit process and in making the transition as smooth as possible for you/any family.
They will also provide financial support to assist with any relocation.
The Role
In Canada, General Superintendents are fully responsible for on site delivery, including production, health & safety, managment of the schedule, subcontractor quality management etc. Ultimatey ensuring that work is delivered safely, on time, and within budget/to the required quality.
The way that projects in Canada are structured is a little different to what you'll have experienced in Scotland/the UK, but we've been recruiting in Canada for over 15 years and can walk you through this in detail, providing detailed job descriptions etc.
