Director of Construction

Job Description

<p><p>At INFINITEK we are working with a prominent international renewable energy developer who is seeking an experienced Director of Construction to lead the build-out of major wind and solar projects across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and expanding regions throughout Canada. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a mission-driven organisation backed by a well-established European parent company with 30+ years of global clean-energy success.</p>
<h3>About the Role</h3>
<p>We are searching for a results-driven construction leader who thrives in a high-growth, future-focused industry. The Director of Construction will oversee the full construction cycle for utility-scale wind and solar PV assets, working closely with a multidisciplinary team of specialists in engineering, design, permitting, finance, policy, and operations.</p>
<p>This role offers the chance to shape some of Atlantic Canada’s most significant renewable-energy developments—while playing a key part in the company’s long-term Canadian expansion, including forthcoming Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and new-technology initiatives.</p>
<h3>Key Responsibilities</h3>
<ul>
<li>Oversee contractor and supplier performance and ensure delivery against contractual commitments</li>
<li>Manage construction budgets, approve invoices, and support cost estimating for new projects</li>
<li>Review civil and electrical engineering drawings and collaborate with technical experts</li>
<li>Serve as the technical representative with turbine manufacturers, EPC partners, consultants, and permitting bodies</li>
<li>Act as the Owner’s Representative on construction sites and participate in construction management meetings</li>
<li>Provide detailed progress reporting to senior leadership, lenders, and stakeholders</li>
<li>Monitor industry advancements and introduce new technologies and materials where beneficial</li>
<li>Contribute technical expertise during major contract negotiations (e.g., turbine supply, O&M, EPC)</li>
<li>Support pre-construction activities such as equipment logistics, environmental compliance, and mitigation measures</li>
<li>Lead tendering processes for EPC and construction services</li>
<li>Assist with scheduling, design, equipment selection, and contractor management</li>
<li>Provide technical support across financing, operations, and future BESS initiatives</li>
</ul>
<h3>Qualifications & Experience</h3>
<p>The ideal candidate brings:</p>
<ul>
<li>5–10 years of experience in wind turbine installation, delivery, operation, repair, and commissioning</li>
<li>Working knowledge of substations, collector systems, transmission infrastructure</li>
<li>Strong network in civil, electrical, and transportation contracting across the Maritimes</li>
<li>Proven ability to manage schedules, budgets, and multi-disciplinary teams</li>
<li>Strong safety mindset and understanding of worksite best practices</li>
<li>Experience with solar PV, battery storage, or civil engineering work is considered a strong asset</li>
<li>Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills; ability to convey complex information clearly</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why This Opportunity Stands Out</h3>
<p>This is more than a leadership role - it’s a chance to accelerate Canada’s clean-energy transition in a rapidly expanding market. Candidates will join a collaborative, value-driven culture with substantial international backing, exciting future project pipelines, and access to cutting-edge renewable technologies.</p>
<h3>Benefits</h3>
<ul>
<li>Competitive compensation package</li>
<li>RRSP plan</li>
<li>Comprehensive group benefits (Life, AD&D, LTD, Dental, Extended Health, Dependent coverage)</li>
<li>Flexible schedule and remote‑work options</li>
<li>Paid time off</li>
<li>Employee assistance program</li>
<li>Professional development funding and ongoing training</li>
<li>Inclusive, supportive, community‑focused work culture</li>
<li>Full-time, permanent role</li>
<li>Based in Halifax, NS or hybrid‑remote within the region</li>
<li>Part of the extended leadership team</li>
<li>Travel required to project sites within Canada</li>
<li>Reporting directly to the CEO</li>
