• Act as the key point of contact for clients and support business development efforts

• Lead and mentor junior project team members, supporting their field development

• Maintain high HSE standards across all activities

What we’re looking for

• Registered or eligible to register as an EIT, P.Eng, or AScT in BC

• Proven track record in contract negotiation, scheduling, and budget management

• Familiarity with permitting, trade standards, and government approvals in BC

• Excellent communication, leadership, and time management skills
