  • Support project planning, scheduling, and coordination, contributing to successful project delivery
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders

What You Bring

  • Degree in HVACR, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Construction Management or equivalent hands-on trade/technical experience
  • 5+ years in construction, maintenance, or controls (or 1+ year in commissioning)
  • Experience working with integrated building systems (HVAC, BAS, electrical distribution, fire alarm, etc.)
  • Strong computer literacy, including Microsoft Office and digital project/documentation tools
  • Full driver’s licence and willingness to travel regularly between project sites
  • Proven ability to solve problems independently and collaborate within a team
  • Confident communication skills, including reporting and presenting
  • Comfortable working in field environments (including lifting, climbing, and varying conditions)

Nice to Have

  • Background as a Refrigeration Technician or Controls Technician
  • Experience or interest in project management and project delivery
  • Industry certifications (EIT, CEM, OSHA 10, or similar)
  • Familiarity with Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Compensation
