Review contractor submittals, payment applications, change requests, schedules, and close-out documentation.
Guide project teams on constructability, sequencing, construction risk, and contractor performance.
Coordinate responses and documentation from multidisciplinary design teams.
Lead substantial performance, occupancy, deficiency, warranty, and contract close-out activities.
Mentor contract administrators, field staff, and technical professionals.
Represent Stantec professionally in meetings with clients, contractors, regulators, and community stakeholders.

Experience with municipal infrastructure, water and wastewater, industrial, or heavy civil projects.
Sound commercial judgment and a demonstrated ability to resolve complex field and contractual issues.
Strong leadership, negotiation, relationship-building, and communication skills.
Commitment to safe, high-quality construction delivery.
Experience mentoring construction and technical professionals.
A valid Class 5 driver’s license and access to a vehicle are required.
Ability and willingness to travel to project sites throughout the Prairies and Territories, occasionally on short notice.

Education and Experience

Degree, diploma, certificate, or equivalent experience in engineering, construction management, construction technology, or a related discipline.
A minimum of 20 years of relevant experience leading construction delivery, contract administration, construction management, or contractor operations.
