Job description

• Chandos is seeking a Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex transportation infrastructure projects throughout Western Canada.
• This role is ideal for someone who enjoys staying close to the work and collaborating with field operations, clients, consultants, and preconstruction teams to drive project success from start to finish. While based in Calgary, project-related travel will be required.

• Develop and maintain accurate cost reports, cash flow projections, and project forecasts
• Monitor project performance and proactively identify cost, schedule, and execution risks
• Support change management, claims, and client communications
• Ensure projects are delivered safely, profitably, and in accordance with Chandos quality standards
• Collaborate with superintendents and project teams to optimize construction sequencing and project execution

Requirements

• 4+ years of Project Management experience with a General Contractor not self-development
• Experience delivering bridges, LRT infrastructure, transit stations/hubs, or other complex transportation structures
• Proven experience managing project forecasts, budgets, cost control, schedules, risk, and change management
• Strong understanding of how construction sequencing impacts project cost, productivity, and risk
• Experience working directly with clients, consultants, field operations, and subcontractors
