Who we are:
Founded in 1974, Kenaidan continues to be a fixture as a dynamic construction firm dedicated to creating structures that will contribute to the well-being of our community and enhance the fabric of our communities for years to come. Our confidence in our expertise and passion for our work has allowed us to deliver an array of projects with unmatched precision, quality, and efficiency.

Murphy operates in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and America as a leading international specialist engineering and construction company. Founded in 1951, we are committed to improving life through delivering world-class infrastructure, providing engineered solutions across transportation, natural resources, energy, and water sectors. With around 4,000 engineers, professional managers, and skilled operatives internationally, we work together as One Murphy to ensure project success. #MoveToMurphy.
We are a proud Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to providing employees’ work-life balance with a competitive compensation package including:
Top wages
Benefit coverage for you and your dependents
Employer RRSP contributions (no match required)
Paid Time Off
We currently have an opening in the Greater Toronto Area, ON for a:
Head of Information Technology
The Head of IT leads all aspects of IT for the Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture (KMJV), with accountability for both day-to-day operations and the longer-term technology strategy that supports a complex, multi-year construction program. KMJV runs on a broad portfolio of business and project-delivery applications, and this role owns how those tools fit together — evaluating the application landscape, optimizing the workflows that run across them, and partnering with end users and parent-company IT teams to make the joint venture measurably more efficient. The successful candidate is a hands-on strategic leader who is equally comfortable setting direction with executives, rationalizing an application portfolio, and rolling up their sleeves to design an integration, automate a process, or troubleshoot a critical issue.
How will you contribute to the team?
To perform this role successfully, the candidate will be responsible for but not limited to the following:
Strategy & Leadership
Own the IT strategy for KMJV end-to-end, aligning technology investments with project, operational, and joint-venture business objectives.
Serve as the senior IT point of contact for KMJV leadership; translate business priorities into a multi-year technology roadmap with clear outcomes, milestones, and KPIs.
Lead, mentor, and develop the KMJV IT team; set performance expectations and build a culture of service, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Align standards where possible or needed, and resolve cross-organization dependencies with the parent-company IT departments (Kenaidan and Murphy)
Stay current on emerging technologies (AI/automation, cloud, construction tech) and make defensible recommendations on where to invest, pilot, or hold.
Application Portfolio & Workflow Optimization
Maintain a living inventory of all applications used across KMJV — project management, field, finance, document control, scheduling, safety, HR, and collaboration tools — including ownership, cost, integrations, and business value.
Continuously assess the portfolio for overlap, underuse, and gaps; recommend consolidation, replacement, or retirement to reduce cost and complexity.
Map and analyze the cross-application workflows that run the business (e.g., procure-to-pay, RFI/submittal, change order, timesheet-to-payroll, document handover); identify bottlenecks and lead targeted process-optimization initiatives.
Design and implement integrations between systems (APIs, middleware, iPaaS, Power Platform) to eliminate duplicate data entry and manual handoffs.
Champion automation, low-code, and citizen-developer practices where they produce measurable productivity gains; set the guardrails (governance, security, supportability) that make them safe at scale.
Work directly with application vendors and internal subject-matter experts to configure systems to KMJV’s actual workflows rather than defaulting to out-of-the-box behavior.
