Project Director - Bridges, Tunnels & Transportation (Vancouver)

$300k per year

Canterra Group

Project Director – Bridges, Tunnels & Transportation

Location: Vancouver, BC

Compensation: $300,000 plus total compensation

Build Some of Western Canada’s Largest Infrastructure Projects

We are partnering with one of Canada’s leading heavy civil contractors to identify a Project Director to lead major infrastructure projects across British Columbia. This prospect is ideal for a senior construction leader currently working for a heavy civil general contractor who wants to take ownership of landmark projects involving bridges, tunnels, transportation infrastructure, marine works, and complex civil construction.

  • Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Projects valued from hundreds of millions to over $1 billion
  • Industry-leading contractor with a strong project backlog
  • Complex bridge, tunnel, marine, and transportation projects
  • Strong self-perform capabilities and operational support
  • Executive-level influence on project strategy and delivery
  • Long-term career progression into senior operational leadership

The Role

As the Project Director, you will provide overall leadership for major infrastructure projects from pre-construction through project completion, overseeing project operations, commercial performance, staffing, scheduling, risk management, client relationships, and project delivery.

You will lead teams of Project Managers, Superintendents, Engineers, and Commercial Staff while ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably, and on schedule.

What We’re Looking For

  • 15+ years of heavy civil or infrastructure construction experience
  • Experience working for a major general contractor
  • Background in bridges, tunnels, marine works, transportation, structural concrete, or major civil infrastructure
  • Proven success leading large multidisciplinary project teams
  • Strong commercial, contractual, and operational leadership experience
  • Experience with Design-Build, Alliance, or PPP projects is considered an asset

Confidential Inquiry

All applications are confidential. Many of the strongest construction leaders are not actively searching the market. If you are open to a confidential discussion regarding the projects, leadership team, compensation package, or future growth opportunities, we would welcome the conversation.
