Who we are...

At Ecosystem, we believe we should be accountable for results. That’s why we've integrated engineering and construction, seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And that's how we can efficiently solve complex energy and decarbonization challenges in the built environment. 

Here are some of the projects we've been working on recently: San Diego Padres Stadium, Brown University and University of Toronto.

Why this role matters...

At Ecosystem, we operate as an integrated engineering and construction firm: We design with construction expertise, build with operations in mind, and optimize every decision to hit the target. 

As a Construction Manager, your first project assignment will be our UC Davis Project where you will be deeply involved throughout all phases: you will have a strong influence during the design stage; ensuring constructability and operational efficiency, before leading its execution on site. 

Here, you won’t be given a step-by-step playbook. Instead, we define what the building needs to achieve—and you’ll have the freedom, resources, and the full toolbox to determine how to get there.   

What you will do...

As part of an integrated multidisciplinary team working from design through completion, you will be responsible to:  

• Ensure compliance with health and safety requirements on project sites and contribute to the application of best practices. 
• Oversee on-site construction operations, managing subcontractors, client, and stakeholders at higher-education facilities.  
• Navigate change/scope creep and solve technical challenges on site, always balancing costs, budgets schedules, and people.  
• Support the preparation of project upgrades, including estimates and documentation, for review and presentation to the client. 
• Develop an understanding of energy performance measures and sustainability considerations prior to committing to implementation. 
• Assist with day-to-day execution of construction activities, helping ensure alignment with budget, schedule, and quality requirements. 
• Deliver an exceptional client experience.

• 5+ years of construction management experience with recognized leadership in execution.  
• Experience in mechanical and electrical construction   
• Strong communication (written and verbal), listening, and negotiating skills in English.  
• Team player with a positive attitude, resilience, and determination.  
• Quick critical thinking ability under pressure.  
• Top-notch organizational skills.  
• Resourceful and excellent judgment. 

• Annual base salaries (approx. $100,000 - $140,000). Base salary is an approximate range and dependent on location and years of relevant experience.   
• “Ask me anything” approach from ownership and management.  
• Paid time off per year: We observe a minimum of 15 days of vacation, 10 public holidays, and 5 personal/sick days. On top of that, we have paid time off between December 25 and January 1 when our offices close for the holiday period for a well-earned break.     
• A comprehensive compensation and benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long-term disability, 24/7 Employee Assistance Program and telemedicine, and 401K. 
• Thriving people-first culture: we put our values in action in DEI, CSR, Innovation, and Social committees. We celebrate our successes together at Ecofest- watch the video here.
