Program Director - Provincial Highways
We are seeking an experienced Program Director to lead the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of a major provincial highways program. This senior role will provide strategic direction across a diverse portfolio of highway infrastructure projects, including new construction, rehabilitation, widening, safety improvements, bridges, and related transportation assets. You will oversee program priorities, establish delivery frameworks, and ensure projects support long-term mobility, economic development, resilience and public safety objectives.
Key responsibilities include managing the full program lifecycle from business case development and capital planning through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and close-out. You will lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate with engineering consultants, contractors, municipalities, Indigenous communities, regulators, utilities and other public-sector partners. The role will oversee scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, procurement, environmental compliance, land and property requirements, stakeholder engagement and performance reporting. You will establish effective governance and assurance processes, identify emerging issues, and implement practical solutions to maintain delivery momentum and value for money. Strong attention will also be required for workplace safety, traffic management, sustainability and minimizing disruption to road users and surrounding communities.
The successful candidate will bring extensive experience delivering complex transportation or civil infrastructure programs, ideally within a government, public agency or similarly regulated environment. A degree in engineering, project management, construction management, business or a related discipline is required; professional registration or a recognized project or program management certification is an asset. You will be a strategic and collaborative leader with strong commercial, financial and contract-management skills, sound knowledge of highway design and construction practices, and the ability to communicate clearly with senior decision-makers and diverse stakeholders. Experience leading large teams, managing competing priorities and delivering major programs in a politically and publicly visible environment will be highly valued.
