Who We Are PermaCorp is a proudly Canadian metal fabrication business serving commercial, residential, and industrial markets across North America. With operations spanning multiple provinces and a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and practical problem‑solving, we specialize in delivering custom railing, architectural, and fabricated metal solutions that support a wide range of projects and clients. At our core, we are a hands‑on, growth‑focused organization built on hard work, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our teams include skilled tradespeople, production leaders, technical experts, and business professionals who work together to get the job done right. As we continue to scale, we are focused on building the systems, leadership, and people practices that will support sustainable long‑term growth while staying true to the operational excellence that defines our business.

You will lead a team of five Project Managers across two provinces, provide oversight on current build construction projects, drive adoption and enforcement of our project management platform (Wrike), and be the primary point of accountability for on‑time, on‑budget delivery. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who has done it before, knows what good looks like, and is ready to build the process infrastructure for the next phase of growth.
