We’re looking for a high-performingSenior Project Manager based out of Edmonton or Calgarywho thrives in a fast-paced mechanical services and construction environment — someone who can manage multiple complex projects without breaking a sweat (even when the schedule says otherwise).

• Navigate competing priorities, tight timelines, and the occasional surprise — because construction.
• Anticipate risks before they turn into problems.
• Keep projects moving forward without letting details fall through the cracks.

If you enjoy organized chaos and turning it into structured success, you’ll fit right in.
