Full Job Description
Why this role exists

We are building capability in formwork on all concrete - not general civil.

We are looking for someone who understands how concrete structures are built, not just how they are scheduled.

**Travel will be frequent.

The Role

You will lead or support delivery of:
  • Water retaining structures
  • Bridges
  • LRT platforms
  • Transit structures

With a focus on:
  • Formwork systems
  • Discuss formwork strategy on all self perform projects
  • Formwork evaluation and selection
  • Concrete sequencing and execution
  • Field-driven constructability
  • Oversee formwork scope on multiple projects
  • Train and mentor field foreman and superintendents
  • Inform division leaders on overall formwork progress and risk profile

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a coordination role.

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not a traditional PM/Super role.

We are specifically looking for someone who:
  • Has personally been involved in formwork and concrete assembly in the field
  • Can walk a site and immediately identify sequencing risks
  • Understands how structures actually go together under real constraints


Qualifications

What You Bring
  • Proven experience delivering concrete structures (ideal experience would include bridges, transit, or similar)
  • Deep exposure to formwork systems and concrete sequencing
  • Background from:
    • Self-perform general contractor, or
    • Concrete/formwork subcontractor
  • Ability to move between:
    • Field execution
    • Planning and problem-solving

You likely will not be a fit if:
  • Your experience is primarily utilities, paving, or linear works
  • You have managed projects without being close to field execution
  • Your focus has been strictly planning/scheduling vs. build methodology


Additional Information

  • We are 100% employee owned. Every person who works for Chandos can become an owner. There is only one class of units at Chandos, because we believe everyone should be treated equal. We talk about being an entrepreneurial-minded organization and you can be sure we mean it!
  • Competitive wages
  • Well rounded employer paid benefits program including health, dental, vision care and employee assistance program
  • RRSP matching program to aid and prepare employees for long-term financial security
  • Educational assistance for employees who wish to pursue job-performance enhancing education
  • Recognition and annual salary reviews program
  • Leadership conferences that allow employees to connect and collaborate
  • Regular company-wide engagement opportunities
