We’re working with a growing foundation and ground improvement contractor under the Carlson Construction Group, currently expanding their leadership team in BC.

• Develop, track, and adjust project schedules to meet milestones and deadlines

• Prepare and negotiate contracts, including managing revisions and scope changes

• Monitor project costs, forecasts, and profitability — working closely with accounting and senior management

• 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

• Degree or diploma in Civil or Geotechnical Engineering

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

• Minimum 8 years’ project management experience in heavy civil or geotechnical construction

• Strong technical knowledge in piling, ground improvement, and shoring systems — CFA and secant pile experience is a bonus

• 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

Why consider this role?

You’ll be joining a BC-based contractor with a solid reputation and the backing of an established construction group. This role offers real leadership responsibility, technical variety, and a chance to help shape project delivery in the region. You’ll also get:

• Competitive base salary + annual bonus

• Company-paid RRSP
