• maintain quality throughout a project and implement improvements when determined
• prepare project summary reports
• encourage growth within the group and improve the general knowledge base throughout the company
• develop and sustain long-lasting business relationships with clients
• travel within Canada and internationally

If you have a Canadian P.Eng. professional registration with eligibility for registration in B.C., and have a minimum of 15 years of broad-based engineering experience including a track record of solid results in port engineering and in other heavy civil / structural projects with similar skills requirements, we want to hear from you.

• familiarity with team staff resourcing and construction scheduling for large construction projects
• proven ability to effectively motivate a group of professionals and communicate with staff at all levels
