Construction Coordinator: On-site & Office Operations

You are a builder. You are fascinated with construction budgets, schedules and processes. Our Construction Coordinator will play a key role in keeping our multi-million projects on track. You will support the Construction Manager and Site Superintendent on all operations related to wood frame projects, alternating between at site work and at head office. You are a self-motivated team player with excellent communication skills. You possess strong analytical and technological skills and work with the highest standard of ethics.

OUR CULTURE

Our employees are empowered to make decisions and participate in creative ways; this way of thinking contributes to the reason we’ve won 25+ awards including 2 national awards. We don’t believe in just one way of thinking and this philosophy over the years has fostered confidence and trust within our teams. We never fail to take responsibility for our actions either. At Zenterra, we value inclusivity and honest communication. We don’t shy away from difficult conversations, whether you have something to say, or we have something to say.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

We enable our employees to take charge of their careers and provide them with the opportunity to do the kind of work that amounts to something meaningful. After all, your growth means we grow too. You can expect to learn about things beyond your chosen focus. Zenterra has several exciting condo and townhouse projects in a pipeline extending well into the 2030’s.

HOW WE BUILD

We never cut corners. Not once in the 20+ years that we’ve been in business. That’s mainly because we approach each and every project with purpose, focus, integrity and fluidity. All under one roof. We bring a full in-house team to maintain complete control of every project — experts in land acquisition, land development, project management, construction, design, marketing, sales, and customer service. We adhere to a very high level of excellence. Our philosophy is to provide the highest possible level of care and attention across the complete home building (and buying) journey.
