Full description
PACT (Pearson Accelerator Construction Team) is a General Partnership of Alberici, Amico, Kenaidan, and Obayashi, supported by design partners Egis, Mott MacDonald, and Weston Williamson + Partners. Together, we are delivering Accelerator, a major program of Pearson LIFT (Long-term Investment in Facilities and Terminals), Toronto Pearson's infrastructure development plan. This multi-year program is designed to address immediate passenger growth demands while preparing Canada’s largest airport for the future of air travel—including critical upgrades to airfield and infrastructure, greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, modernization of Terminals 1 and 3, and the creation of a world-class passenger experience.
JOB SUMMARY
The Project Manager for our Interim Infrastructure Sub-Program will oversee large-scale infrastructure revitalization and interior fit-out initiatives within active, live operational environments. This role requires a level of multidisciplinary coordination, technical oversight, and stakeholder alignment to deliver complex expansions without impacting ongoing, daily business continuity.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing significant capital projects involving heavy coordination across structural modifications, detailed mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) integrations, and advanced specialized equipment installations.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Manage the end-to-end execution of core/shell modifications and interior fit-outs within live, highly secure, and active passenger or public spaces.
- Establish robust work isolation, dust/noise barriers, and multi-stage construction phasing plans to guarantee zero operational downtime or service degradation.
- Lead daily synchronization across corporate clients, internal operations departments, institutional design groups, and the general contractor or Design-Builder. Serve as an operational liaison to continuously align design progress milestones with real-time site constraints.
- Support with a strategy to navigate multi-tiered permitting frameworks, including building, zoning, structural testing, and site infrastructure diversions.
- Ensure absolute compliance with specialized security authorities, emergency service mandates, and strict technical guidelines.
- Manage the structural tie-in, automated mechanical integration, electrical upgrades, and IT infrastructure installations for high-throughput, mission-critical systems.
- Manage complex asset relocations and coordinate technical space re-configurations (e.g., control centers, regulatory offices).
- Support with comprehensive site logistics, off-site prefabrication, and strict asset positioning protocols to handle heavily constrained delivery zones and minimal laydown areas.
