Job Description

What's The Role?

At Dexterra Group, operational excellence isn't theoretical - it's measurable.

We're looking for an Labour Optimization Lead to help us turn our Labour data into real-world impact across our Facilities Management (FM) portfolio.

This is a high-impact, individual contributor role reporting directly to the President, Facilities Management Canada, with a clear mandate: use data, insight, and commercial judgement to materially improve labour productivity and profitability.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Analyze labour productivity performance (e.g. square feet per labour hour) across FM verticals including airports and commercial environments.
  • Identify and deliver productivity improvements that translate into labour savings.
  • Develop productivity benchmarks and labour models that strengthen pricing accuracy and commercial competitiveness.
  • Partner closely with Operations, Finance, and iLabs to link data, financial performance, and operational outcomes.
  • Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights for site teams and executive leadership.
  • Challenge existing assumptions and operating practices using evidence-based analysis.
  • Support a culture of disciplined, data-driven decision-making across the business.


Qualifications

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience driving operational optimization through data analysis and performance insights.
  • A strong quantitative background in Data Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering real cost savings and profitability improvements.
  • Solid financial and commercial acumen, including comfort with P&L drivers, pricing, and margin analysis.
  • Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large, complex data sets.
  • Experience using modern analytics platforms and generative AI tools in a business environment.
  • Ability to communicate credibly with both front-line site teams and senior executives.
  • Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor with influence but no direct authority.
  • Bonus points for experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or operational consulting methodologies.

* Why this role stands out *
  • Direct reporting line to the President of FM Canada.
  • Clear ownership of outcomes, not just dashboards.
  • Enterprise-level visibility and influence without people-management overhead.
  • Mandate to challenge, not simply observe.
  • Opportunity to shape labour strategy, productivity, and commercial performance.


Additional Information

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
  • Be part of an industry that's more important than ever!
  • Award winning safety culture.
  • A flexible hybrid work model.
  • Supportive team environment with room to grow together.
  • Employee Referral Program.
  • We are growing!
