This role will oversee projects from initial scope development and feasibility through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout. The successful candidate will manage multidisciplinary teams, coordinate with clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, and community stakeholders, and ensure that all work is delivered safely, efficiently, and in accordance with contractual, technical, and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include developing project execution plans, schedules, budgets, risk registers, and resource plans; monitoring progress, costs, quality, and performance; and implementing corrective actions when required. You will review technical deliverables, support permitting and regulatory approvals, manage procurement and contract administration, and lead regular project meetings and reporting activities.
