This Opportunity

The Toronto office of Smith + Andersen is seeking a AV Project Manager. You've been interested in the convergence of building systems for a while now. You see this integration as the future of electrical building system design, and would like to be part of this growing field. You also have fantastic prioritization abilities. While everyone else is focused on their individual tasks, you've got an eye on the larger goals of a project, and have a detailed road map for how to meet those goals. When others work with you, they know that deadlines do not slip and details will not get missed.

As a natural leader, you are happiest when everyone is moving in the same direction, and you never hesitate to step up and get others the answers they need. You have clear communication skills, and can effectively wield those skills to make sure clients, consultants, and contractors are kept in the loop. Your cool, calm demeanor helps you easily manage multiple tasks without getting frazzled, allowing you to take on the systems integrated design for some of the biggest and most exciting projects in the country.
