The role involves supporting commercial real estate advisory projects by collaborating with clients and internal teams, contributing to operations and strategy, managing projects, and helping drive business growth in the real estate sector.Our StoryOur small Canadian-born business was founded in 1978 and has become a global organization that now spans 120 locations across 20 countries. Our expansion has been rapid, but what matters most is the common belief that drives all 5,000 of our people to be a different type of real estate organization.
