Project Director - Redevelopment

CAMH sits on a 27 acre site which has been redeveloped in accordance with its Master Plan over a 25 year period.  Three phases of redevelopment have been completed/ occupied, with the 4th and final phase underway.  Phase 1D is comprised of two projects;

Phase 1D Forensics (550,000 sqft) is a DBF projects currently under construction. Occupancy is anticipated in 2029, with trailing activities to be completed by 2030.

Phase 1D Research (400,000 sqft) is a Construction Management project currently under construction with occupancy anticipated for late 2026/early 2027.

This opportunity will support the Phase 1D Research project.

Reporting to the Senior Project Director, Infrastructure/Project Management/Construction, the Project Director, will be responsible for providing hands on project management leadership during the planning, design, construction and close out stages of the Phase 1D Research Project. Excellent managerial, technical, project controls and contractual knowledge will significantly assist you in contributing to design while mitigating overall project risk during all stages. Hands on direct project experience is critical as is your ability to manage stakeholder expectations to ensure project success. Experience in municipal planning processes is very desirable.

The Project Director will develop and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure value for money is obtained and a collaborative management approach is undertaken with our construction partners and service providers. During design, this position will play a key role in developing the technical requirements and performance specifications. During construction the Project Director will be responsible for site reviews, schedule review, monthly project status updates, contract administration, leading and attending meetings, deficiency reviews and rectification, commissioning, and contract closeout. As a result of overlapping accountabilities within the Redevelopment Office, the resulting matrix type structure will enable the Project Director to have oversight of individuals on the project for whom they are not accountable. Examples of the areas of oversight may include FF&E & Occupancy Planning.

The Project Director position will support a workplace that embraces diversity, encourages teamwork and complies with all applicable regulatory and legislative requirements. This position is located at the Queen Street site.
