Overview
We are seeking a self-motivated and diligent new team member with understanding and experience in construction and/or housing development to join our Housing team. This role is for an initial 8-12 month contract (dependent on client needs / approval at time of hiring) with the potential to turn into a full-time salaried position within our company. This contract position will be based out of Toronto and provide development management support across several affordable housing projects. Regular travel is required.
**Although on some days this position will function remotely, candidates should be prepared to make site visits for GTA based projects as needed. Candidates will also need to be available for up to monthly travel to Nunavut to support our Northern Housing Projects.** Northern travel costs will be covered and mileage plans for daily required travel in the Greater Toronto Area will be provided.
This position is ideal for someone seeking to expand their experience in housing development while contributing to purpose-driven projects in both Canada’s busiest city and the true Canadian North—one of the country’s most rugged and underserved regions.
About Sonderbloom
We are a Toronto based consulting firm that specializes in affordable housing development. We primarily provide development management services to non-profits in the Greater Toronto Area which spans the whole lifecycle of residential development: from concept through pre-construction to delivery. Current projects include property improvements, renovation of existing buildings and new-build projects. We are a small, motivated team that prides itself on supporting projects that work to provide quality housing and better lives for at risk populations – from those facing addiction and mental health struggles to victims of human trafficking or disenfranchised indigenous communities. We are beginning exciting work on a series of projects in the North to support non-profit clients building housing in remote areas which face considerable building challenges. We’re excited to continue to grow our housing team with people who want to make a difference.
