Your New Company
Our client is a growing organization delivering complex telecommunications and infrastructure projects across a diverse portfolio. With a strong focus on operational excellence, financial discipline, safety, and client satisfaction, the business has built its reputation on delivering projects efficiently while maintaining high quality standards. The company operates within a collaborative, methodology-driven environment where clear processes, accountability, and continuous improvement are central to project success. As the business continues to expand, they are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead project delivery and drive successful execution from project handover through to closeout.
Your New Role
As Project Manager, you will be responsible for the successful planning, execution, financial performance, and closeout of assigned utility and infrastructure construction projects. Reporting to the Head of Construction, you will manage project scope, schedule, budget, client relationships, subcontractor performance, risk, and overall project profitability.
You will manage projects from pre-construction handover through completion, translating approved scopes, estimates, budgets, and schedules into effective execution plans. Working closely with Construction Managers, Site Superintendents, field teams, subcontractors, clients, and internal stakeholders, you will ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within scope, and in line with financial targets.
This role requires strong organization, commercial awareness, and the ability to maintain a detailed understanding of project performance. You will be expected to identify issues early, develop practical solutions, and escalate significant risks to the Head of Construction before they materially impact project outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Manage assigned projects from pre-construction handover through execution, completion, and closeout.
- Develop and manage project plans, schedules, budgets, forecasts, resources, and key milestones, ensuring projects meet safety, schedule, scope, quality, and profitability targets.
- Own project financial performance, including cost control, billing, forecasting, productivity, change management, and projected final margin.
- Maintain a strong understanding of project contracts, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and client responsibilities, proactively identifying and managing scope changes and change orders.
- Coordinate manpower, materials, equipment, subcontractors, permitting, design, and site requirements to maintain project progress and address potential delays.
- Build and maintain strong client relationships through regular communication, project reporting, expectation management, and timely resolution of issues.
- Manage subcontractor and supplier performance, holding partners accountable for scope, schedule, productivity, quality, safety, and contractual obligations.
- Work closely with Construction Managers and Site Superintendents, regularly visiting sites to monitor project performance and support effective field execution.
- Proactively identify financial, schedule, scope, procurement, and operational risks, developing solutions and escalating significant issues to the Head of Construction as required.
- Provide accurate and timely reporting on project financials, schedule, change orders, risks, subcontractor performance, and corrective actions.
- Lead project closeout, including deficiencies, turnover documentation, outstanding commercial matters, final billing, and lessons learned, while promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and proactive problem-solving.
What You Need to Succeed
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- A degree, diploma, or equivalent experience in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of progressive construction project management experience, ideally within utility, telecommunications, civil, electrical, infrastructure, industrial, or similarly complex construction environments.
- Experience managing construction projects through multiple stages of delivery, from project handover through execution and closeout.
- Strong understanding of project financials, including budgets, forecasting, cost control, billing, cost-to-complete, change management, and gross profit.
- Strong construction scheduling and planning capabilities with the ability to coordinate multiple project activities, resources, subcontractors, and milestones.
- Experience managing project scope, change orders, contracts, and supporting project documentation.
- Demonstrated subcontractor and supplier management experience.
- Strong client-facing and stakeholder-management skills with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally when addressing project challenges.
- The confidence to hold subcontractors and project partners accountable while maintaining productive working relationships.
- Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced project environment.
- The ability to identify project issues early, recommend appropriate solutions, and understand when escalation is required.
- Familiarity with design-build project delivery is considered an asset.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction project management, scheduling, and cost-reporting software.
- The ability and willingness to travel to project sites and meet with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and trade partners as required.
- A demonstrated commitment to workplace safety, quality assurance, accountability, and continuous improvement.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role means maintaining strong ownership and visibility across your projects. You will know where each project stands financially and operationally, identify potential problems early, develop practical solutions, and ensure issues are addressed rather than simply reported.
Performance will be measured through project profitability, forecast accuracy, schedule adherence, productivity, cost control, change-order recovery, billing, client satisfaction, subcontractor performance, safety, quality, and timely project closeout.
Ultimately, successful projects will be safe, profitable, well organized, on schedule, professionally executed, and delivered to a high standard for the client.
