Senior Project Manager (Edmonton)

Overview

Step into a pivotal leadership role where you’ll guide mid-to-large commercial and institutional projects from initial concept and proposal development right through to final close-out. You’ll lead pre-construction under CM, drive design-to-tender workflows, convert to a stipulated‑sum model, and execute construction with precision, accountability and collaboration. As a mentor and coach, you’ll empower project managers and coordinators to raise their game, foster solid partnerships with clients and subcontractors, and drive continuous improvements in safety, quality and efficiency. Key Responsibilities

Own full‑life‑cycle delivery of mid‑to‑large commercial projects (roughly $30M+ in scope). Oversee cradle‑to‑grave project delivery, including design review and constructability input, estimating, budgeting (ClassD, ClassB, tender), cost control, tendering, procurement, contract administration, construction sequencing, site logistics, methodology development, and close‑out hand‑off and client transition. Manage both open CM (CCDC5A/5B) and converted CM (CCDC2) delivery models, shifting projects from open to fixed‑sum contracts through risk identification and tender recap, while mitigating risks and capitalizing on opportunities throughout construction. Craft compelling proposals and methodologies that win work and clearly articulate what’s in it for the client. Implement estimating input, sub‑trade buy‑outs, contracts, change‑order controls and robust forecasts. Mentor project managers, coordinators, superintendents and support staff to develop tomorrow’s leaders. Foster client, consultant and subcontractor relationships that drive repeat business and strong referrals. Embed continuous improvement: streamline processes, reinforce safety best practices, capture lessons learned. Qualifications

8+ years of general contractor experience (not developer) on mid‑to‑large commercial projects. 5+ years in a direct project‑manager role. Proven track record managing projects from design through completion. Demonstrated CM conversion experience (CCDC5A/5B to CCDC2). Expert understanding of construction‑management processes and delivery models. Advanced budgeting skills (ClassD, B, tender) and tendering process knowledge.
