About the Opportunity
Every great project carries the signature of the people who refused to compromise on how it was built. For a Quality leader who holds that standard, this is a rare chance to put it at the heart of a respected contractor’s next chapter.
For decades, our client’s Ontario group has earned its reputation on complex, technically demanding projects, delivered by a team that takes real pride in its work. That track record has now carried them into major transportation in a significant way; they are proud to be leading one of Southern Ontario’s most significant and long-awaited transportation projects, alongside a growing slate of other major initiatives.
That momentum calls for a Quality Director with major projects experience; someone who knows the systems and principles that make building major infrastructure successful and profitable, and who can guide the group in embedding them as the business continues to grow.
As Quality Director, you lead the quality vision. You set the standard on major transportation work, shape the systems, people and habits. You work closely with senior leadership on how the business delivers as it grows.
About You
The successful candidate will have the following:
Major projects pedigree: A career leading quality on major transportation or heavy civil projects, with exposure to P3, Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build, Alliance or Joint Venture delivery
Systems builder: You have implemented or matured a Quality Management System aligned to ISO 9001, and you know how to make it work in the field as well as it reads on paper
Owner-facing credibility: Confident representing quality to owners, independent certifiers, designers and partners, from Project Quality Plans and audits through NCR closure, testing and turnover
Commercial perspective: You see quality as a driver of profitability, through less rework, cleaner handovers, protected margins and owners who want to work with you again
Leader and mentor: You build and grow quality teams, and bring project leaders along with you so quality becomes part of how everyone works
Education and training: A degree or diploma in Engineering, Construction Management or a related field, or a strong trades foundation; quality credentials such as CMQ/OE, CQA or ISO Lead Auditor are an asset
