The Opportunity

Build the Future With Us

Join our Transportation Systems team in Ontario as a Commercial Manager, supporting the commercial and contractual management of transportation and infrastructure projects.

Reporting to the Senior Commercial Manager, you will work across projects and corporate initiatives, bringing commercial insight to contracts, bids, negotiations, risk management, project financial health, change management, claims, and project close-out.

This is an opportunity to work closely with clients, subconsultants, project teams and senior leadership while helping strengthen commercial processes and execution across our Transportation & Infrastructure business.

Your Impact

• Lead and manage commercial agreements, including teaming agreements, Memoranda of Understanding, Joint Venture Agreements, Internal Consulting Agreements, Consultant Agreements, and subconsultant/subcontractor agreements.

• Guide opportunity and bidding decisions by supporting bid/no-bid evaluations, preliminary risk reviews, delegation-of-authority requirements, commercial strategy, partner screening, and internal approvals.

• Support and lead negotiations with clients, partners and subcontractors, including reviewing and qualifying commercial terms and conditions in conjunction with in-house legal counsel.

• Strengthen project commercial performance by supporting as-sold budgets and work breakdown structures and working with Project Controls and Finance to oversee schedule, cost, billing, and subconsultant receivables.

• Drive effective change management by identifying scope deviations, developing change narratives and justification, assessing schedule and cost impacts, preparing change packages, and maintaining change logs.

• Support the resolution of disputes and claims.

• Support corporate governance and influence risk mitigation.

• Advance continuous improvement and project close-out, including commercial analysis, lessons learned, vendor evaluations, project records, and required client waivers and releases.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• 10+ years of commercial or contract management experience in a similar role.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. French would be an asset.

• Post-secondary diploma or undergraduate degree in project management, construction management, quantity surveying, engineering, finance, business, or a related discipline preferred.

• Knowledge of construction contracts and Canadian construction law, with contract administration and claims-management experience considered an asset.

• Experience with consulting engineering environments, and/or both Owner and Contractor roles considered assets.

• Strong commercial judgment and analytical thinking, with demonstrated ability to navigate deadlines, ambiguity, changing priorities, and complex project requirements.
