Sales Operations Coordinator
Closing Date: May 5, 2023
About Us
Many people (and a few pets) will spend their lives in a Marcon home, so we have to build it right, every time. Marcon is an established and trusted name in the construction community. If a project needs building, we can do it. Low-rises, high-rises, townhomes, retail centres, industrial parks—we have built them all. Over the last few years, we’ve been expanding into the real estate development space and managing our own projects from conception through to execution and completion. None of this is possible without a hardworking team, working together, to make it all happen. That’s why we’re looking for people who are eager to join an intelligent and motivated team to create something bigger than themselves and build communities that will impact a neighbourhood in infinite ways.
