About the Company

A leading Canadian-owned and operated construction company delivering complex, large-scale infrastructure projects across Ontario.

With expertise spanning general contracting, civil engineering, road building and major public infrastructure, the business combines strong project management, innovative engineering and collaborative delivery to successfully execute projects of significant scale and complexity.

The company is committed to building not only infrastructure, but careers, communities and a lasting legacy.

Why Canada?

Canada continues to invest heavily in major social and public infrastructure, creating exciting opportunities for experienced construction professionals to work on complex, high-value projects.

Beyond the career opportunity, Canada offers an excellent quality of life, long-term professional development and the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure that directly impacts communities.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Director/Bid Director to provide senior leadership and strategic oversight across large-scale social infrastructure projects delivered through Design-Build, P3 and alternative procurement models.

This senior leadership role will oversee projects from preconstruction through delivery and close-out, ensuring they are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget and in line with client, stakeholder and regulatory requirements.

The Bid Director will act as a key executive interface with public-sector clients, consultants, joint-venture partners and internal leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Provide overall leadership and governance for multiple large-scale social infrastructure projects (e.g., hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, post-secondary institutions, courthouses, transit-related buildings).
Establish project execution strategies aligned with Amico Design Build’s business objectives, risk appetite, and delivery standards.
Serve as the senior escalation point for project issues, risks, and disputes.
Act as the primary senior representative to public-sector owners, authorities, and key stakeholders.
Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, trade partners, and financing entities.
Lead executive-level meetings, progress reviews, and stakeholder briefings.
Provide leadership during pursuits, RFP responses, and design development phases.
Oversee constructability reviews, value engineering initiatives, and design coordination.
Ensure design development aligns with scope, budget, schedule, and performance requirements.
Maintain executive accountability for project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, cash flow, and margin.
Review and approve major contracts, change management strategies, claims, and risk mitigation plans.
Support negotiations related to change orders, claims resolution, and commercial settlements.
Oversee master schedules and milestone delivery for complex, multi-year projects.
Identify and manage high-risk elements including procurement, permitting, design changes, and stakeholder impacts.
Ensure proactive risk identification, mitigation planning, and reporting.
Provide executive oversight of site operations, safety performance, quality assurance, and compliance.
Ensure adherence to health & safety standards, regulatory requirements, and Amico policies.
Support construction teams in resolving critical field issues.
Mentor and develop Project Directors, Project Managers, and senior project staff.
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Support talent development, succession planning, and performance management.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or related field (Master’s degree considered an asset).
15+ years of progressive experience delivering large-scale building projects, with significant exposure to social infrastructure.
Proven leadership experience in Design-Build and/or P3 project delivery.
Demonstrated success managing projects valued at $100M+.
Strong understanding of public-sector procurement, contract administration, and stakeholder governance.
Excellent financial acumen, risk management, and negotiation skills.
Exceptional leadership, communication, and executive presence.
