Exclusive opportunity with a rapidly expanding Canadian construction firm
We are recruiting on behalf of a well‑established Canadian construction company that has recently opened a new office in Ottawa, Ontario. This expansion represents a major strategic investment in the region, offering exceptional growth potential for an experienced operational leader. Our client is seeking a Operations Manager to help drive this new operation forward and play a key role in shaping the office’s long‑term success.
About the Opportunity
As Operations Manager, you will oversee multiple construction projects while helping build and scale the company’s presence in Ottawa. You will establish operational standards, develop local teams, and foster strategic client relationships. This is a rare opportunity to step into a visible leadership position within a newly launched office where your impact will directly influence its growth trajectory.

* Implement and refine processes to support a rapidly expanding regional office
* Oversee scheduling, forecasting, cost controls, and risk management
* Build strong, lasting relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams
* Contribute to strategic planning, resource allocation, and talent development as the office grows
Your Background
* Significant experience in construction operations or senior project management
* Proven ability to lead, coach, and inspire high‑performing teams
* Strong understanding of construction contracts, scheduling tools, methodologies, and financial controls
* Excellent communication, leadership, and problem‑solving capabilities
* Commitment to safety and exceptional project delivery
* Post‑secondary education in engineering, construction management, or a related field is an asset
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
* Join a newly established Ottawa office backed by a strong, reputable national brand
* Real opportunity for rapid career progression as the region continues to grow
* High‑visibility leadership role with influence from day one
* Competitive salary, bonus, comprehensive benefits, and long‑term advancement opportunities
* Supportive, entrepreneurial culture that values initiative and impact
* Relocation and full immigration assistance provided
