Experience managing concrete structures on water and wastewater projects is highly desirable. Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to successfully lead projects from pre-construction through close-out. Ability and willingness to travel to project sites as required.

What’s Offered

Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonus. Comprehensive health and dental benefits. Group RRSP with employer contributions. Employee ownership/share purchase program.
