Your Opportunity 

Our British Columbia Water Team is growing, and we want you to join our team to work alongside others who share your passion to support communities through exciting and unique water, wastewater, general civil infrastructure, and solid waste projects as well as water resources and natural system projects. 

We are seeking an intermediate-level Construction Manager to support delivery of municipal water and wastewater projects across the Lower Mainland. This position is intentionally targeted to experienced contractor-side professionals—such as Project Engineers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Managers, or early-career Superintendents—who are ready to broaden their responsibility and gain owner-side delivery experience. 

What You’ll Be Doing 

Acting as the Owner’s representative for defined construction scopes or site areas 

Coordinating contractors, inspectors, and internal technical teams 

Supporting construction sequencing, site logistics, and constructability planning 

Reviewing RFIs, shop drawings, and field changes 

Monitoring schedule, cost, quality, and safety performance 

Supporting progress reporting, issue tracking, and meeting coordination 

Assisting with commissioning, turnover, and project closeout activities 

This is a hands-on, field-engaged role with regular site presence. You will receive mentorship and technical support from senior construction managers and engineers. 

Who This Role Is For 

Project Engineers, Assistant PMs, or PMs from contractor organizations 

Early-career Superintendents or field-focused construction leads 

Professionals with approximately 8–10 years of construction experience 

Individuals looking to step into broader construction leadership without contractor commercial risk 

Experience & Qualifications 
Required: 
Approximately 8–10 years of construction or project delivery experience 
Experience working for a contractor on civil, infrastructure, or industrial projects 
Strong understanding of construction means, methods, sequencing, and safety 
Comfort working on active construction sites and interfacing with contractors 

Valued (Not Required): 
Engineering degree or construction management diploma 
Water, wastewater, utilities, or municipal infrastructure experience 
Experience working with municipalities or public owners 

A university degree is not required. A diploma, trade background, or equivalent practical experience is fully acceptable. 
Work Location & Travel 
Projects primarily located within the Lower Mainland 
Regular site presence within day-trip distance 
Extended rotation or remote camp work is not typical 

Why This Is a Strong Career Step 
Opportunity to move from work-package execution to project-level influence 
Owner-side role without carrying contractor commercial risk 
Exposure to full construction lifecycle on complex infrastructure projects 
Stable, long-term municipal infrastructure program 
Strong mentorship from experienced construction and technical leadership 

The position will work in both a field and office setting. Field work may include exposure to the elements including inclement weather. Must be available to travel for out-of-town projects when needed.
