Project Manager - Construction High Rises

Southwest Properties

As Project Manager, you will oversee the successful delivery of residential high-rise construction projects, supporting all phases of the project lifecycle from design development and pre-construction through construction, commissioning, and project closeout. You'll help ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and to our high standards of quality.

We believe in going beyond the necessary to create inspiring environments. To us, a building is so much more than just a collection of walls under a single roof. We believe an innovative, exceptional, thoughtfully designed building can inspire great things to happen inside and around it.

Here's a Few Reasons Why We Love Where We Work

  • Performance Based Bonus Eligibility
  • Flexible Work Schedule
  • Comprehensive Extended Health & Dental Benefits
  • Monthly Transit Allowance Program
  • RRSP Plan with Company Matching – 4%
  • Employee Health & Wellness Incentive – $300 Annual Reimbursement
  • Professional Development Opportunities & Education Reimbursement
  • Employee Discount Program – 10% off 
  • Resident & Employee Referral Programs
  • Service Awards and Social Staff Events
  • Charitable Donation Matching Program – $1,000 Annually + 1 Paid Day Off to Volunteer

What Your Day Will Look Like

As Project Manager, you'll work closely with Site Superintendents, consultants, subcontractors, and internal operations teams to coordinate project execution, monitor schedules and budgets, manage project documentation, and support quality throughout construction and closeout.

Reporting to the Construction Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring projects are well-coordinated, risks are proactively managed, and stakeholders remain informed throughout the construction process.

Hours of Work: Monday – Friday, 40 hours per week

Work Location: Split between our Head Office (1315 Lower Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia) and onsite construction offices. All project sites are within HRM.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Coordinate project activities from pre-construction through project completion.
  • Support the development and maintenance of project roles, responsibilities, and deliverables.
  • Collaborate with Site Superintendents and project teams to maintain construction schedules and sequencing.
  • Develop and update master schedules, incorporating short-interval planning and six-week look-ahead schedules using Lean scheduling principles.
  • Assist in administering subcontracts, including reviewing scopes of work, schedules of values, and subcontractor performance.
  • Review and coordinate shop drawings, RFIs, and submittals to ensure timely resolution.
  • Lead startup meetings with subcontractors to review project expectations, scopes, and coordination requirements.
  • Manage project change documentation, including Site Instructions (SIs), Change Directives (CDs), Change Orders (CCOs), and associated cost tracking.
  • Monitor construction budgets, forecasts, purchase orders, and monthly cost reporting using Procore.
  • Review and approve subcontractor progress invoices.
  • Facilitate regular trade, consultant, and internal project meetings, documenting action items and follow-up.
  • Monitor quality control processes throughout construction and support deficiency management.
  • Support commissioning activities, project closeout, warranty documentation, and turnover requirements.
  • Promote a safe, collaborative, and organized project environment.

Your Environment

Your work environment will be shared between the Head Office and onsite construction offices. Site conditions may include exposure to loud noise, seasonal temperature extremes, dirt, and dust. Appropriate safety procedures and personal protective equipment are required when onsite.

What Will Help You Succeed

You don't need every qualification listed to make a meaningful impact. If you're excited about building exceptional communities and growing your career with us, we'd love to hear from you.

Our ideal candidate has:

  • 3–7 years of experience in a Construction Project Management or Project Coordination role.
  • Experience working on residential, multi-unit, or commercial construction projects.
  • An Engineering Degree, Construction Management, Construction Technology Diploma, or equivalent combination of education and experience is considered an asset.
  • Experience using Procore or similar construction management software.
  • Strong understanding of construction methods, building codes, and project delivery processes.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and time management skills.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
  • A collaborative mindset with a proactive approach to project management.
  • Previous experience coordinating consultants and subcontractors is considered an asset.

Position Requires: Successful completion of a Criminal Record Check.

People are at the Heart of Everything We Do

We are committed to attracting and retaining a diverse team that values your experiences, perspectives, and unique identity. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining an environment that is inclusive, equitable, and welcoming.

Thank you for your interest. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

We are a team of individuals who get joy from bringing joy to others.
