Metrolinx is seeking an Executive Director to take charge and lead the
successful completion of the Georgetown South rail corridor infrastructure
project. You have a
significant background managing politically sensitive projects, and this has
provided you with the skills and connections required to liaise, and build
relationships, with the government agencies and community leaders that are
needed to support this project.
In addition to keeping these stakeholders in-the-loop, you will also
serve as the key contact with the VP Corporate Infrastructure, and all media
outlets on matters related to this high-profile initiative.
You have solid technical understanding of what it takes to conduct a
value engineering exercise of this magnitude, and you will have the
opportunity to demonstrate that as you develop strategic plans with your
Project Managers to track and
maximize the utilization and productivity of assigned resources, lead
Metrolinx in its role as “Constructor” to ensure the full compliance of
contractors with the terms and conditions governing railway corridor asset
management, and negotiate and coordinate the delivery of rail infrastructure
required from operating railways.
Your main goal will be to deliver this project on-budget, and
on-time.
