Job Summary

K4 Construction Ltd. is seeking a Senior Construction Project Manager to lead assigned Canadian construction projects from pre-construction through closeout. Working remotely from India during Vancouver business hours, you will take responsibility for project schedules, budgets, procurement, contract administration and client communication. You will coordinate with site superintendents to manage construction progress, safety and quality, lead subcontractors and project support staff, and resolve issues within K4’s delegated authority. The role requires independent judgement, sound commercial decisions and consistent follow-through on project commitments.

Key Responsibilities1 Project Leadership and Schedule Control

- Lead assigned projects independently, set priorities across concurrent jobs, assign responsibilities and hold project teams accountable for agreed deliverables.

- Develop and maintain baseline schedules, critical-path activities, milestones and two-week lookaheads. Coordinate labour, trade sequencing, access, shutdowns and deliveries with site superintendents.

- Monitor actual progress against the plan, identify constraints early and lead recovery plans. Provide daily updates and weekly reports covering schedule, cost, procurement, risks and decisions required from the Director.

2 Project Administration and Document Control

- Manage project records including RFIs, submittals, instructions, changes, site reports, meeting minutes and action logs in K4’s approved systems. Assign an owner and due date to each outstanding action.

- Review and coordinate current architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings, specifications, addenda and issued revisions. Ensure the field team has the correct documents and promptly resolve scope gaps.

- Lead project closeout by tracking all trade deficiencies, inspections, testing and commissioning, as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties and handover requirements.

- Coordinate safety and quality requirements with the site superintendent and designated safety personnel, including permits, inspections, hazardous-material controls and protection of occupants. Escalate unsafe conditions or non-conforming work immediately and track corrective action.

3 RFIs and Technical Coordination

- Review requests for information (RFIs) against the contract documents before submission. Identify the exact conflict, missing information or decision required,



with drawing references, photographs and a required response date.

- Prepare practical options for consultant review, identifying cost and schedule implications. Obtain the responsible consultant’s written direction for design changes; do not independently approve engineering or architectural design.

- Maintain the live RFI log, follow up on overdue responses and escalate items that affect field production or the critical path. Distribute responses promptly to the affected trades and site team.

- Assess each RFI response for scope, cost and schedule impacts and initiate the applicable notice and change-management process. Track direction through implementation and closure.

4 Submittals and Procurement

- Establish the submittal and procurement schedules at project kickoff, allowing time for contractor review, consultant review, resubmissions, fabrication, shipping and installation.

- Manage long-lead items such as structural steel, glazing and mechanical and electrical equipment. Confirm supplier commitments, required approvals, delivery dates and contingency options.

- Perform contractor reviews of shop drawings, product data and samples for contract compliance and trade coordination before submission to consultants. Clearly identify deviations and outstanding information.

- Track consultant review status and required resubmissions, then distribute the current reviewed documents to the site team. Confirm the required review status and resolve applicable comments before releasing fabrication or installation.[K41]

- Review quotations, quantities, exclusions and trade interfaces; negotiate within delegated authority and prepare complete purchase orders and subcontract scopes for approval.

5 Stakeholder Coordination and Commercial Control

- Lead progress meetings with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers. Record decisions, responsibilities and deadlines, manage disagreements professionally and close outstanding actions.

- Own project budgets and forecasts, including committed costs, actual costs, cost to complete, pending changes and cash flow. Review progress billings and subcontractor invoices against verified work and contract terms, and flag variances early.

- Manage changes through written notices, supporting records, itemized pricing and schedule-impact assessments. Track change directives and change orders under the applicable contract, obtain required K4 approvals before commitments,



and reconcile authorized work with billings and payments.[K42]

Required Skills and Qualifications

Demonstrated responsibility for independently delivering multiple projects from pre-construction through closeout, including budgets, schedules, subcontractors and client relationships.

- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or a closely related technical field.

- Technical ability: Robust understanding of construction sequencing and the ability to interpret and coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings, specifications and addenda.

- Commercial and leadership skills: Proven ability to manage budgets, forecasts, change pricing, procurement and subcontractor performance; lead remote teams; and resolve problems without repeated direction.

- Software: Proficiency in construction management systems such as Procore, Aconex or equivalent, scheduling software, Excel and PDF drawing-review tools; able to work within K4’s approved document and communication systems.

- Remote availability: Able to work the stated India night shift with reliable internet, suitable equipment and a private workspace, while protecting confidential project information.

Working knowledge of the BC Building Code, WorkSafeBC requirements and CCDC contracts, including CCDC 2.

- Certifications: PMP, Gold Seal, LEED Green Associate or equivalent relevant industry credentials.

- Additional capabilities: Detailed estimating and quantity takeoffs, Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination and Lean Construction methods.
