You will work alongside our current Project Manager and coordinate directly with our field team of active Site Supervisors to deliver premier multi-family and commercial developments across Winnipeg. Because Rockport self-performs nearly all major scopes—encompassing Excavation, Concrete, Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, Drywall, and Labourers—our project management style is deeply collaborative.

Our robust project pipeline and self-perform capability ensure steady, year-round work without the seasonal dips common in the construction industry.

Comprehensive health and vision benefits package. Competitive salary and professional development opportunities. Key Responsibilities Macro Scheduling & Resource Planning: Build and manage master schedules using MS Project, working directly with internal Trade Managers to forecast and secure labor capacity for active Winnipeg builds. Financial Oversight: Manage total project budgets, tracking internal trade division costs, material procurement, and external subcontractor contracts. Inter-Divisional Alignment: Act as the primary bridge between the Rockport development arm (Architect), external consultants (engineers), and our internal Trade Managers. Operations Leadership: Chair regular project meetings with Trade Managers to review production rates, clear administrative bottlenecks, and mitigate risks. Permitting & Compliance: Navigate City of Winnipeg building permits, zoning bylaws, and occupancy processes to ensure projects advance smoothly. Contract Administration: Issue and manage scopes of work for specialized external trades that fall outside our internal capabilities. Qualifications & Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field (PMP or Gold Seal certification is a major asset). 5+ years of Project Management experience in multi-family residential or commercial construction. Experience working within a self-performing or vertically integrated builder environment is highly preferred.
