Project Management Accountabilities

Following best project management practices, and Division guidelines and manuals, you will work on mainly facility projects – from initiation, scoping and gathering of background information, to assisting the client and manager in preparing the capital budget and executing the project up to warranty completion. For projects you manage or support, it will be your responsibility to ensure that all required permits and approvals are secured, stakeholders are identified and consulted, the project is on schedule and expenditures are within budget and annual cash‑flow estimates, finalizing contract payments and implementing quality control/quality assurance for construction.

Technical Expertise and Innovation

Valued for your professional expertise, you will review technical memorandums, alternate/options assessments, engineering reports, multidisciplinary engineering design drawings and contract specifications to ensure design complies with applicable guidelines, standards, specifications and other requirements. You will prepare engineering analysis, justifications and evaluations to recommend change orders for senior management approval or to advise on major issues. You will conduct research and development for the effective resolution of engineering issues, as well as initiate and lead technical studies and projects.

Communication and Stakeholder Management

Adept at communicating with a broad range of audiences, you will represent the City on committees, attend meetings and provide input, manage public complaints during construction, prepare presentations for Councillors, prepare construction notices and complete public consultation in line with project needs. This skill is also vital as you negotiate claims with contractors and consultants, and coordinate continuously with identified stakeholders throughout the execution of the project.
