  • Serve as the primary liaison, communicating project scope, schedule, and budget with the project team, client, and contractors.

  • Develop project proposals and budgets, review costs, and track adherence to planned budget.

  • Manage change requests, execute risk management techniques, and implement strategies to minimize negative financial impact to the project.

  • Organize and conduct routine project meetings, ensuring alignment on expectations and performance.

  • Coordinate detailed reviews of technical work to ensure high-quality work is being performed.

  • Document all project deliverables and maintain comprehensive records including correspondence, design plans, and other project related files.

  • Mentor staff within the team on project management best practices. Ensure all safety procedures are followed to create a safe and productive work environment.

Qualifications

You are passionate about:

  • Working collaboratively with others.

  • Having ownership in the work you do.

  • Using your talents to positively affect communities.

You bring to the team:

  • Strong communication skills.

  • Ability to contribute and work well on a team.

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction, or planning.

  • A minimum of eight years of project experience within an applicable field or discipline with increasing responsibility.

  • Proven track record in meeting and exceeding client expectations through project management activities.

  • Excellent client service orientation, communication, and presentation skills

  • Solid interpersonal and decision-making skills and the ability to generate innovative and effective solutions to complex problems.

  • A high-level of organization, leadership, and negotiation skills.

  • A keen interest in various engineering disciplines, particularly within the industrial sector.
