Requirements
What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with accomplished Project Managers and
Senior Project Managers who have delivered bridge construction projects in
British Columbia or comparable Canadian markets.
Ideally, you will bring:
- Significant Project Management
experience within heavy civil construction
- Direct experience delivering
bridge construction projects
- Strong understanding of concrete
structures and complex civil construction
- Experience managing large project
teams and subcontractors
- Strong commercial, contractual
and cost-management capabilities
- Experience dealing directly with

Benefits
Why Consider the Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to join an established heavy civil organization with the resources and project pipeline to deliver significant infrastructure work in British Columbia.
For someone who has developed a strong track record in bridge
construction, the position provides the opportunity to take on larger
projects, greater leadership responsibility and increased influence over
project execution and commercial performance.
We're equally interested in speaking with established Senior Project Managers and high-performing Project Managers who are ready to take the next step in their careers.
If you're successful where you are but interested in understanding what another senior-level opportunity in the BC infrastructure market could offer, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
