It takes a lot of work to bring an idea from conception through to a finished product and keep things running smoothly along the way. Especially when that initial idea ranges from workstations, ancillary product and private offices to everything in between, to create unique office spaces that are often integrating with general contractors on large new construction projects.

This is the kind of challenge you love. You’re looking to bring your project management experience to a company offering autonomy, professional growth and the opportunity to take ownership over large projects.

We’re Holmes & Brakel, and we have what you’ve been looking for. Since 1975, we’ve been delivering unparalleled value in the contract furniture industry. Specializing in offices and workplaces, we offer a full suite of services that encompasses design, sourcing, and installation. Our success would be impossible without our unwavering customer focus; as a family business, we’ve been able to maintain that since we first started out.

Thanks to our success, we’re looking for an Architectural Interiors Project Manager with excellent attention to detail to join our growing team.

Project Manager, Architectural Interiors:

As our new Architectural Interiors Project Manager, you’ll oversee 4 to 5 projects at a time, depending on their size. You’ll work on anything from a small office refurbishment to an entirely new office space for our clients. You’ll manage these projects from the initial engagement to the final completion. You’ll take ownership over the entire process, schedules, evaluations of risk, and the outcome of the projects. We’ll look to you to ensure that project deliverables are completed on time to meet both corporate and project standards, and to work with other team members as needed to achieve client satisfaction and within project budgets. Practically speaking, here are some tasks that will keep you busy day-to-day:

Your ability to work collaboratively within our teams and with engineers, architects and designers, and subtrades will serve you well in this client and contractor-facing role. You’ll use your excellent interpersonal communication skills to build strong relationships with our clients.

You’ll also be served well by your ability to plan, organize, and identify potential risks or issues and determine how to proactively avoid or manage these risks. You’ll trust your instincts and decision-making skills, but you’ll also be flexible and adapt to changes.

Working with Holmes & Brakel:

This is a full-time, permanent position, from Monday to Friday, based out of our Pickering office.You’ll receive a competitive salary, commensurate with experience. You’ll also have access to a comprehensive benefits program as well as paid vacation.

While we’ve experienced some great success over the years, we’ve stayed true to our roots as a family business. Our employees love it here, and stay with us for a long time.
