With investment from government continuing to move projects in a positive direction, and an expectation for 2024 to be busy across Canada, particularly for infrastructure and residential projects, salaries for key roles have been rising steadily in 2023, reports Impact Recruitment in its 2023 Salary Guide: Development + Construction Management<\/em> edition.<\/p>\n

The report, which examined Ontario and B.C., explains that the ongoing talent shortage continues for employers in the Canadian construction and real estate development sectors, especially with project coordinators, project managers and site superintendents, in particular. As such, salaries for these roles are going upward.<\/p>\n

With a shortage of fully trained candidates in the pool of jobseekers, the authors of the report noted that many employers are now more open to hiring candidates without Canadian experience, providing them with opportunities to upskill, rather than expecting them to check all boxes on their first day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe convergence of Canada\u2019s highest immigration rates in decades and significant skill shortages in the GC and developer construction sector has led to a heartening development,\u201d stated Michael Scott, vice-president of the Building Division at Impact Recruitment. \u201cEmployers across the nation are increasingly providing opportunities to newcomers with valuable construction experience gained abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says this trend is most pronounced in the Greater Toronto Area, but sees changes to immigration policies as moves that are positive for the industry. \u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see governmental discussions addressing the need for expedited recognition of overseas qualifications, which would further support the integration of skilled job seekers into the Canadian workforce,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The recruitment agency\u2019s annual report opens discussions about trends and provides current salary data for hiring managers as well as real estate development, general contracting and construction management professionals. A copy of the full report is available on its website.<\/p>\n
