Operations Supervisor

Location: Ottawa (On-Site)

Language: Strong written and verbal English communication required

Salary: $75,000 to $85,000 annually

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a growing organization in the residential construction sector to find an Operations Supervisor who understands how construction projects move from planning through completion. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who can see the bigger picture while staying close enough to day-to-day operations to keep people, materials and projects moving.

Working closely with leadership, sales and field teams, you’ll bring structure and visibility across multiple active projects. You don’t necessarily need to come from a large construction firm. Experience in residential construction, restoration or a trades-based environment, combined with strong project coordination or project management experience, could be an excellent fit.

What’s In It for You

You’ll have the opportunity to broaden your construction experience beyond individual projects and take greater ownership of overall operations. You’ll join a growing team where practical ideas are valued, collaboration matters and there is room to expand your responsibilities as the business evolves.

Your Responsibilities

• You’ll maintain a bird’s-eye view across active residential projects, identifying potential staffing, material and workflow issues before they impact delivery.

• You’ll oversee and support field employees, ensuring the right people are deployed to projects based on operational priorities.

• You’ll coordinate materials, inventory and production requirements to help keep projects moving efficiently.

• You’ll work closely with sales, project and leadership teams to support smooth project handoffs and execution.

• You’ll visit project sites as needed to understand challenges, resolve issues and support field operations.

• You’ll support subcontractor coordination, fleet requirements and other operational processes as required.

• Over time, you may expand your responsibilities into areas such as quoting, employee onboarding and health and safety.

Skills and Qualifications

• 3+ years of progressive project coordination, project management, construction management or operations experience within construction.

• Strong knowledge of residential construction workflows and how a project progresses through different stages.

• Experience coordinating field employees, trades, materials and multiple active projects.

• Previous experience directly supervising or leading employees.

• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with the ability to anticipate operational challenges.

• Comfortable balancing computer-based coordination with hands-on involvement and site visits.

• Experience in residential construction, restoration, insulation or a related trades environment is an asset.

Note from the Hiring Manager

“We’re looking for someone who understands how construction projects actually come together. You don’t need to know every part of our business on day one, but you do need the construction knowledge to see what’s coming, keep people organized and help us build stronger processes as we grow.”
