We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities to build your skills and grow your career.

The Opportunity

Forbes Bros. Group of Companies is seeking an experienced Project Director to lead the successful delivery of complex, high-value utility infrastructure projects across North America. In this senior leadership role, you'll oversee major construction programs, including transmission infrastructure, substations, and large-scale capital projects, with full accountability for operational execution, commercial performance, and stakeholder relationships.

This opportunity is well-suited for an established construction leader with extensive experience managing high-risk, multi-site projects. You'll play a key role in strengthening project leadership teams, building strategic partnerships, and contributing to the long-term success of our utility construction operations.

Location: 1290 91 Street SW, Edmonton, AB, T6X 0P2, Canada. Supporting major utility infrastructure projects across Canada and the United States, with assignments at various project locations.

Work arrangement: Hybrid, with required travel to project sites and attendance at the Edmonton office.

Key Elements of the Role

Lead major construction projects: Direct the execution of large-scale utility infrastructure projects, often exceeding $500 million, ensuring alignment with project schedules, budgets, contractual obligations, and delivery objectives.

Drive financial and commercial performance: Maintain full profit and loss (P&L) accountability, oversee forecasting and margin protection, and lead contract negotiations, change management, claims resolution, and commercial risk mitigation.
Manage complex project challenges: Resolve critical engineering, procurement, and construction issues while overseeing regulatory requirements, permitting, joint venture commitments, and Indigenous engagement.
Build strategic stakeholder relationships: Represent Forbes Bros. with clients, Indigenous governments, regulatory authorities, industry associations, and strategic partners to maintain strong relationships and support project delivery.
Champion safety and quality: Ensure safety and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) programs are consistently implemented across projects, oversee compliance reviews and audits, and promote continuous operational improvement.
Develop high-performing leadership teams: Build and lead project leadership teams, establish accountability, support succession planning, and strengthen workforce capabilities across regional operations.
Support organizational strategy: Contribute to preconstruction planning, project pursuits, long-term resource forecasting, and strategic initiatives that strengthen organizational capabilities and national project delivery readiness.

18–20+ years of senior project delivery experience within utility infrastructure, heavy industrial, or large-scale construction environments.
