We are seeking a Highways Lead to provide strategic and technical leadership across a diverse portfolio of highway infrastructure projects in Alberta. This is an opportunity to guide multidisciplinary teams through the planning, design, delivery, and oversight of complex transportation programmes that support safe, efficient, and sustainable movement across urban and regional communities. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, and internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes on time and within budget.
Key responsibilities will include leading highway and roadway projects from feasibility and concept development through detailed design, procurement, construction, and handover; providing expert advice on highway geometry, pavement, drainage, structures interfaces, traffic management, and construction methodology; reviewing technical deliverables and ensuring compliance with applicable Alberta transportation standards, codes, and environmental requirements; and managing scope, programme, budget, risk, quality, and resourcing. You will also support business development by contributing to bids, proposals, client presentations, and strategic planning, while mentoring engineers and technical staff and promoting consistent best-practice delivery.
Applicants should have a degree or diploma in civil engineering, transportation engineering, or a related discipline, with substantial experience delivering highway or major roadway projects.
