PRIMARY PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AND SKILL SET:

• Each Project Management professional is responsible for FIVE distinct areas of performance and expertise. Excellence in each and balance of all five is necessary for long-term success. The five areas include:

Critical Thinking

• Ensures our ability to objectively provide our services in a manner consistent with the expertise and expectations for which we were engaged. Critical Thinking is the ability to chart a course of action. It results in the development of a perspective or "view" that allows us to speak and act on behalf of our Client. There are five components to Critical Thinking:
  • Knowing and understanding the Client's values and expectations for any given situation. We realize what is important to the Client and why.
  • Proactively seeking conflicts and discrepancies within any course of action.
  • Evaluating conflicts and prioritizing impacts according to our Client's values and needs.
  • Identifying opportunities to advance the long-term value of our Client's investment by planning a course of action for our work that acknowledges a need for review, evaluation, and incorporation of change.
  • Developing options and alternatives which reflect all of the above components within each effort.

Client Focus

• The open and consistent display of honesty, integrity, and sensitivity that creates and nurtures a Client's perception of true added value. It is not agreement or consensus. Client Focus is concern and commitment. Honesty means telling what you know and admitting to what you don't. Integrity means that we will honour our commitments. We will be very clear as to areas of concern and expectations. Sensitivity means that we understand what the Client needs, wants and feels.

Judgment

• The ability to balance specific needs against those of a greater whole. Judgment is "knowing what's important." For an organization, it evaluates the individual goals against those of the company at large. For a project, it assesses the business unit's needs and requests against the client's overall requirements and expectations.

Professionalism

• A belief, approach, and demeanour that respects both the needs and goals of the organization and the individuals within it. As professionals within this organization, we are a team, working toward common goals, each bringing a base of knowledge and experience that enhances our ability to perform effectively as a unit.
  • We are personally responsible for the continuous evaluation and enhancement of the specific skills we bring to the team.
  • We are committed to the decisions that have been made before us, and to ensuring that they are successfully executed.
  • We are obligated to identify opportunities to advance our organizational goals, potential, and performance.
  • We are responsible for the business and financial impacts of our projects and our decisions.
  • We are responsible for managing the issues and resolving the impacts of our selected course of action.

Skills

• Tech Minded - The real estate and construction industries are consistently changing with technology. You'll need to make technology work to your advantage. You must demonstrate proficiency in the use and application of project management technology tools and continually seek opportunities to develop your skillset.
• Technical Skills - Those skills that represent an area of expertise. They define a specific focus and base of knowledge (e.g.: design, construction, technology). These represent the individual as an expert within the team.
• Non-Technical Skills - Those that are necessary to ensure effective understanding of, and execution within, a dynamic, Client-focused environment (e.g.: communication, initiative). These represent the individual as a member of the team.

All these five areas constitute the requirements for our success in meeting our objectives, they are used as the basis for our individual performance and development. Our staff is annually evaluated in each of these areas, with targets established for continuous improvement. Rather than managing the daily aspects of an individual's career, we are committed to providing opportunities appropriate to the individual's capacity for advancement.

Education and experience

• A Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Architecture, Engineering or Construction Management is preferred
• 5+ years of relevant experience related to project or construction management.
