• Learn how suppliers and sub-trades are selected and how quotations are gathered.
• Help define and clarify scopes of work with subcontractors and vendors.
• Support ongoing jobsite safety efforts in line with legal requirements and the company’s health and safety policy.
• Attend site meetings and assist with closing out project deficiencies.
• Monitor supply inventory so materials arrive on time and can be tracked properly.

Candidate profile

Applicants should be enrolled full-time in a post-secondary program related to the field, such as Architectural Technology, Construction Management, or Civil Engineering. Recent graduates from a related program who completed their studies in 2026 may also be considered.
