Responsibilities

Ensure that all construction activities are executed strictly in accordance with the latest approved drawings, including both IFC and pre-IFC stages. You will verify drawing revision statuses in Procore before work begins and continuously throughout operations to prevent the use of outdated documents. When drawing revisions occur mid-activity, you will issue timely notifications to mitigate risks of rework and non-compliance, safeguarding project quality and schedule.
Act as the primary liaison between Construction and the Designer of Record (POR), facilitating design clarifications and technical coordination. This includes expediting RFIs raised from the site and actively following up with the POR and Technical Team to secure prompt responses. You will maintain a live RFI register, tracking response times and ensuring all documentation is properly managed. Additionally, you will track all field changes arising from RFIs, Site Instructions, and Site Notices, maintaining full design traceability and leveraging historical RFI data to efficiently resolve recurring technical issues across multiple work fronts.
Manage structured change logs that link design updates directly to executed site activities and rigorously review and verify red-line mark-ups throughout construction to ensure their accuracy and completeness. You will ensure RFIs, Site Instructions, and Site Notices are clearly identified and cross-referenced on red-line drawings according to project tracking procedures. Your role will also involve providing comprehensive documentation and verifying inputs for final as-built and red-line drawing packages, ensuring the project’s documentation is thorough and audit-ready.
Coordinate closely with QA/QC and Construction teams to maintain design compliance and accurate record-keeping. Additionally, you will track Site Visit Reports (SVRs), ensuring their timely upload and documentation within the project management system. You will proactively raise design-related risks and concerns during coordination meetings to facilitate timely resolution, supporting contractual and quality compliance requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
Regular travel in the Mississauga / Toronto West area will be required as a part of this role. Successful candidate(s) will be based in a project office in Mississauga for the first 2 years of the role.
