Build the Next Generation of Landmark Projects in OntarioSome opportunities are about filling a role. Others are about helping shape the future of an entire region.
At Graham, we're entering a period of significant growth in Ontario. Our expanding portfolio includes major transit, healthcare, post-secondary, institutional, long-term care, water, and infrastructure projects, with additional opportunities actively emerging across the province. Current and future project pursuits include major healthcare facilities, post-secondary developments, transit infrastructure, and large-scale public projects.
As we continue to grow, we're looking to connect with
experienced Project Directors and senior construction leaders from
across Canada who are interested in helping deliver some of the country's most complex and meaningful projects.
This is an opportunity to join our leadership bench and become part of a team building the next generation of major projects throughout Ontario.

Our Ontario business is growing, and we're intentionally building depth within our operations teams to support both active projects and the significant opportunities ahead. We're looking for proven project leaders who can step into complex environments, mentor teams, build client confidence, and help scale our business for the long term.

- Transit and transportation infrastructure
- Healthcare and hospital developments
- Post-secondary education facilities
- Long-term care projects
- Water and wastewater infrastructure
- Major institutional and civic developments

Projects currently underway or in planning include major healthcare, university, transit and infrastructure investments throughout Ontario.

Location & MobilityWe are conducting this search nationally.
Candidates may live anywhere in Canada; however, successful leaders must be willing to travel regularly to Ontario and maintain a meaningful on-site presence with project teams, clients, and stakeholders.
This is not a fully remote leadership role.
The most successful Project Directors are visible, engaged, and actively connected to the projects and people they lead. While flexibility exists, candidates should expect to spend significant time in Ontario supporting project execution and team development.
