Description

The Peel District School Board (PDSB) is a racially, culturally and linguistically diverse board that serves 155,000+ students and approximately 17,000 employees.

In PDSB, 87% of students are racialized, non-white, representing 162 different ethnic backgrounds. Students in Peel have 121 different first languages. Student diversity also exists in terms of gender and gender expression, sexuality and in terms of ability and faith.

A responsive and empathetic understanding of the lived experiences of the students and communities we serve is vital to those who will take on leadership roles within the PDSB.

The workforce consists of teachers, office staff, custodial staff, education assistants and professional staff. The workforce is largely unionized through PDSB's numerous affiliated bargaining agents.

Supervising the activities of construction projects - from working drawings through to the end of the guarantee period - is among your strengths as a Project Manager, and will be your primary role as part of the Maintenance Services team at the Peel District School Board (PDSB).

Reporting to Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible to review engineering drawings, specifications and bid documents for PDSB compliance, and ensure the timely, on-budget completion of capital, renovation and renewal projects identified under the Board's Capital Plan.

As a Project Manager, you will be expected to prepare construction bids, recommend acceptance of, or changes to, working drawings and specifications for assigned projects, and monitor the performance of architects, consultants and contractors to ensure adherence to standards and regulations, confidently making on-the-spot decisions, as required.

This is also a great opportunity to demonstrate your presentation and communication skills along with your technical expertise, as you work closely with schools and departments across the Board to resolve any project-related issues, liaise with the Board solicitor on matters relating to the Construction Act, and prepare reports for the Board and Committees.
