Project Manager | Owners Representative | $105,000.00
About the job
Foresight Recruitment Group is partnering with a global leader in integrated facility management to recruit a Project Manager in Calgary. They want someone who can take full ownership of client projects from kickoff to close-out.
This is not a traditional construction site PM role.
We are looking for someone who understands that a successful project is measured by the client experience as much as the schedule and budget. Someone who can define scope with stakeholders, build a realistic plan and budget, spot risk early, and keep vendors, project teams and clients aligned through every phase.
You'll deliver projects of moderate complexity across a diverse portfolio of client facilities. Many are in occupied, operational buildings, from corporate offices and government facilities to critical environments where downtime isn't an option.
What you'll be responsible for:
- Planning and overseeing the end-to-end delivery of assigned projects
- Defining project scope, deliverables and requirements in collaboration with stakeholders
- Developing project plans, budgets, cost estimates, resource requirements and timelines
- Identifying project risks and building mitigation and contingency plans
- Monitoring delivery against schedule and making sure projects finish on time
- Overseeing project team members and tracking task completion
- Managing vendor relationships and performance
- Communicating project status clearly and consistently to stakeholders
- Making sure all work complies with regulatory, environmental and health and safety requirements
- Building strong client relationships, resolving issues and managing expectations
- Bringing a continuous-improvement mindset to project delivery and best practices
What we're looking for:
- 3 to 5 years of project management experience
- A college diploma or university degree, preferably in architectural, construction or engineering technology, or equivalent work experience
- A proven track record of delivering projects on time, on budget and within specification
- Solid experience developing and managing project budgets
- Strong risk management and problem-solving skills
- Advanced communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
- A high degree of client service orientation
- Experience managing vendors and contractors
- Proficiency in MS Project, Excel and Outlook, and the ability to learn new applications quickly
- Experience in facility management, tenant improvements, owner's-side delivery or occupied-building projects is strongly preferred
Candidates may currently hold titles such as:
Project Manager | Project Coordinator (Senior) | Facilities Project Manager | Construction Project Manager | Owner's Representative
PMP certification or LEED accreditation, completed or in progress, is an asset.
What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the platform. Our client manages a large, diverse portfolio across government, financial services, healthcare, education, telecommunications and data centres. That means varied, meaningful projects and room to grow your career within a global organization.
We're looking for someone who takes ownership of the outcome, not just the task list.
