Architectural Site Superintendent

Ferrovial Construction Canada Inc. and VINCI Construction Grands Projets are undertaking the design, build, and finance of the Ontario Line Southern Civil, Stations, and Tunnel (South Civil) package.

As Ontario Transit Group, we are now mobilizing our design and construction crews, with major works. The South Civil contract is anticipated to be completed in 2030.

The project will strengthen Ontario’s economy by supporting an estimated 1,500 jobs at the peak of construction.

What is the project?

• A six-kilometer tunnel and associated tunnelling works from Exhibition to Don Yard portal (west of the Don River).
• Stations:
  • One above-ground station to be integrated with the existing GO Transit Exhibition Station.
  • Two underground stations to be integrated with the existing TTC Osgoode and Queen subway stations.
  • Four new underground stations (King/Bathurst, Queen/Spadina, Moss Park, Corktown).

The benefits to Ontario

Faster, more frequent, and reliable access to rapid transit with more than
227,500 people will live within a 10-minute walk of an Ontario Line station.

• Improve the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time.
• Reduce crowding on the existing Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway.
• Up to 57,000 more jobs accessible by transit (in 45 minutes or less) for Toronto residents.
• Economic and community growth along the future transit line and thousands of job opportunities annually during construction.
• Reduction in traffic congestion, greenhouse gases, and fuel consumption by providing an alternative transportation option.

The Architectural Site Superintendent leads the safe, coordinated and productive field execution of assigned architectural trade packages across Ontario Line South station work areas. The role supervises subcontractors and self-perform resources, confirms work-front readiness, coordinates interfaces with civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and systems teams, and drives work to approved drawings, specifications, quality requirements and project milestones.

This is a hands-on field leadership role. The successful candidate will establish clear daily priorities, remove constraints before they affect production, maintain reliable site records, and lead architectural fit-out from area release through inspection, deficiency close-out and turnover.

Key Accountabilities:

Field Leadership, Sueprvision & Productivity

• Lead daily field operations for assigned architectural work areas and communicate priorities, sequence, constraints and changes to forepersons, subcontractors and field coordinators.
• Coordinate labour, supervision, equipment, access and materials across architectural packages such as façade, roofing, partitions, wall cladding, ceilings, flooring, doors and hardware, millwork, metalwork, painting, signage and architectural specialties, as applicable.
• Chair daily pre-start and coordination huddles; confirm crews understand the work plan, approved information, interfaces and expected production.
• Monitor installation progress and workforce utilization, address field conflicts promptly, and elevate material risks with recommended actions.
• Support a respectful, inclusive and accountable site culture across a diverse workforce.
• Demonstrate visible safety leadership and enforce the project HSE plan, permits, procedures and site rules.
• Confirm hazard assessments, safe work plans, toolbox talks, inspections and corrective actions are complete and suitable before and during work.
• Stop unsafe work, correct hazards, report incidents and near misses, and participate in investigations and preventive actions.
• Coordinate safe access, housekeeping, temporary protection, lifting and hoisting, work at height, hot work, silica and dust controls, confined spaces and other high-risk activities, where applicable.
• Work with HSE and logistics teams to ensure emergency arrangements, exclusion zones and public or third-party interfaces are maintained.

Planning, Schedule, Logistics & Trade Interfaces

• Develop and maintain detailed short-term plans and three- to six-week look-ahead schedules aligned with contractual milestones and area handover dates.
• Coordinate architectural works with civil, structural, waterproofing, fire stopping, MEP, vertical transportation, communications, security, signage, testing and commissioning interfaces.
• Track quantities and actual progress against plan; identify variance, critical constraints and out-of-sequence work; implement recovery or resequencing measures with the project team.
