About the Role

BAAC Construction is seeking an experienced Field Construction Manager to lead our field operations and ensure every project is executed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for overseeing construction activities across multiple projects while developing high-performing Superintendents, Forepersons, and field crews. You'll work closely with Project Managers to ensure projects are properly planned, resourced, and executed while acting as the critical connection between the field and the office.

Your success will be measured by your ability to ensure nothing happening on site is ever a surprise.

Construction Planning

• Partner with Estimating during project pursuits.
• Review drawings, scopes, labour requirements, equipment needs, sequencing, and construction risks.
• Support practical execution planning before projects begin.

Site Leadership

• Visit active job sites regularly.
• Identify safety, quality, staffing, scheduling, or production issues before they escalate.
• Coach field leaders to proactively identify and communicate project risks.

Workforce Development

• Mentor and develop Superintendents, Forepersons, Operators, and Labourers.
• Foster a culture of accountability, communication, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with HR on employee development, coaching, and performance management.

Resource & Equipment Management

The Ideal Candidate

You are a leader who thrives in the field. You naturally notice issues before others do, solve problems proactively, and build strong teams that communicate effectively.

You're equally comfortable walking a construction site, mentoring a Superintendent, coordinating resources with Operations, and providing leadership updates to senior management.

Success in This Role

The successful Field Construction Manager ensures every BAAC project is well-planned, properly staffed, safely executed, and fully visible to the office. Issues are identified early, communication flows consistently, crews perform at a high level, and projects are completed with professionalism and quality.
