Original job description
(this role is not eligible for remote work)
We shape, build, and connect the North by living our values of Drive, Rigour, and Kindness - ambition in what we pursue, discipline in how we deliver, and respect in how we lead.
The opportunity
NVD is investing in its properties and building what comes next: hotel renovations that must meet brand standards…commercial spaces that need to be ready on a tenant's opening day…building and equipment upgrades in places where guests, residents and teams live and work every day…new developments taking shape across the territory.
We are seeking a Project Manager so that every project has one person who owns it from approval to handover. You will turn approved projects into clear scopes, budgets and schedules, then drive them to completion: running tenders, managing contractors and consultants, securing permits, and walking the sites.
You will also build how NVD delivers projects, setting up the tools and practices the company will rely on for years. It suits someone who wants variety and visible results in places people come back to, live in and gather in for years.
What does your success look like?
- Projects are delivered on time, within approved budget and to the agreed standard, and handed over with permits closed, deficiencies resolved, and property and maintenance teams ready to run them.
- Leadership knows where every project stands, including risks and the decisions needed, early enough to act.
- Operations keep running while work is under way: hotel improvement plans meet brand deadlines, tenants occupy on schedule, and guests and residents feel minimal disruption.
- NVD delivers more projects in-house with less reliance on external consultants, using practical project tools that improve with every project completed.
What you bring to the role
- Considerable project management experience in construction, renovation, facilities or property management, including running several projects at once.
- A diploma or degree in construction management, a building or engineering technology program, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Hands-on contractor management: scopes of work, quotes and tenders, change orders, progress claims and deficiencies.
- Working knowledge of building permits, inspections, building codes and construction site safety requirements.
- Budget tracking and cost control, including forecasting final cost and identifying cost pressures early.
- You drive projects forward by influencing without formal authority, you’re firm on commitments and collaborative in approach, and have credibility from stakeholders, operations, and management teams.
- You make sound and thoughtful decisions within your authority and escalate issues appropriately.
- Assets: Project management certification (such as PMP or CAPM) or Gold Seal certification.
Why build your career with us?
This role offers the chance to be part of work you can actually see when you walk a property, drive through a community, or watch an operation run better because the project got done well. We offer:
- 2-weeks vacation pay, increasing at service milestones
- 1-week managers leave
- Health coverage including extended health, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
- RRSP matching to help you build long term financial security
- Training and development
- Pathways for advancement
- Preferred staff and friends and family rates across our hotel portfolio
- Employee assistance and wellness program
Requirements: Occasional travel in Yukon and BC. Flexibility to respond to project needs and attend meetings outside regular hours when necessary.
Employment conditions: Class 5 driver’s license. Permanent Canadian work authorization.
