Job description
What's The Role?
At Dexterra Group, operational excellence isn’t theoretical — it’s measurable.
We’re looking for an Labour Optimization Lead to help us turn our Labour data into real-world impact across our Facilities Management (FM) portfolio.
This is a high-impact, individual contributor role reporting directly to the President, Facilities Management Canada, with a clear mandate: use data, insight, and commercial judgement to materially improve labour productivity and profitability.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Analyze labour productivity performance (e.g. square feet per labour hour) across FM verticals including airports and commercial environments.
- Identify and deliver productivity improvements that translate into labour savings.
- Develop productivity benchmarks and labour models that strengthen pricing accuracy and commercial competitiveness.
- Partner closely with Operations, Finance, and iLabs to link data, financial performance, and operational outcomes.
- Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights for site teams and executive leadership.
- Challenge existing assumptions and operating practices using evidence-based analysis.
- Support a culture of disciplined, data-driven decision-making across the business.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience driving operational optimization through data analysis and performance insights.
- A strong quantitative background in Data Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience delivering real cost savings and profitability improvements.
- Solid financial and commercial acumen, including comfort with P&L drivers, pricing, and margin analysis.
- Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large, complex data sets.
- Experience using modern analytics platforms and generative AI tools in a business environment.
- Ability to communicate credibly with both front-line site teams and senior executives.
- Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor with influence but no direct authority.
- Bonus points for experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or operational consulting methodologies.
** Why this role stands out **
- Direct reporting line to the President of FM Canada.
- Clear ownership of outcomes, not just dashboards.
- Enterprise-level visibility and influence without people-management overhead.
- Mandate to challenge, not simply observe.
- Opportunity to shape labour strategy, productivity, and commercial performance.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
- Be part of an industry that's more important than ever!
- Award winning safety culture.
- A flexible hybrid work model.
- Supportive team environment with room to grow together.
- Employee Referral Program.
- We are growing!
- Certified as a Great Place to Work 2025-2026!
