Original job description
Build Quality. Build Trust. Build What Matters.
Wilco Contractors Northwest Inc. is a growing Edmonton-based civil construction company with more than four decades of experience delivering complex projects throughout the region.
From earthworks and underground utilities to parks, sports facilities, site development and environmental construction, our projects require people who understand that quality isn't something you check at the end - it needs to be built into the work from the beginning.
We are looking for an experienced Quality Control Manager to take ownership of Wilco's construction quality program and help us continue raising the standard across our projects.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a job title. You'll have the opportunity to build systems, work directly with Project Managers and Superintendents, develop people, identify opportunities for improvement, and have a real impact on how Wilco delivers its projects.
