Project Director – Major Heavy Civil Infrastructure Project
Location: British Columbia | Out -of -Town Rotation (14 Days On / 7 Days Off)
Employment Type: Full -Time | Permanent
Compensation: $250,000 – $295,000 base + bonus + travel support + benefits

About the Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join one of Canada’s premier heavy civil
contractors on a landmark infrastructure project in British Columbia.

We are seeking an experienced Project Director with a proven background
leading large -scale heavy civil construction projects, including complex
concrete structures, transportation infrastructure, transit, bridges, marine
works, and major civil infrastructure assignments.

This role is ideal for a senior construction leader who thrives in
technically demanding environments and has successfully managed large project
teams, complex stakeholder relationships, and major infrastructure operations
from pre -construction through project completion.

The position is based on a rotational out -of -town schedule of 14 days on
/ 7 days off and offers the opportunity to play a key leadership role on one of
the region’s most significant heavy civil projects.

The company is recognized for:

  • Landmark infrastructure projects
    across Canada

  • Complex heavy civil and
    structural concrete expertise

  • Strong self -perform construction
    capabilities

  • Financial strength and long -term
    project backlog

  • Collaborative leadership culture
    and operational excellence

This is a career -defining opportunity for a Project Director seeking
high -profile project exposure within a nationally respected infrastructure
contractor.

The Role

As the Project Director, you will provide overall leadership and
strategic direction for a major heavy civil infrastructure project, overseeing
all aspects of project execution including operations, commercial performance,
scheduling, safety, staffing, client relations, and project delivery.

You will lead multidisciplinary project teams while working closely with
executive leadership, clients, consultants, and key stakeholders to ensure the
successful delivery of the project.

This role requires strong operational leadership, commercial acumen, and
deep experience managing technically complex infrastructure projects within
demanding construction environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide executive -level
    leadership for a major heavy civil infrastructure project

  • Oversee all project operations
    including construction, commercial management, scheduling, procurement,
    and staffing

  • Lead Project Managers,
    Superintendents, engineers, and project support teams

  • Ensure projects are delivered
    safely, on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with contractual
    obligations

  • Drive project strategy, execution
    planning, and operational performance

  • Manage client relationships,
    stakeholder coordination, and executive reporting

  • Oversee risk management, change
    management, forecasting, and cost control activities

  • Support project staffing,
    mentorship, and team development initiatives

  • Collaborate closely with senior
    operations and executive leadership teams

  • Monitor overall project
    productivity, quality, and financial performance

  • Ensure compliance with project
    specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements

  • Lead high -level planning,
    problem -solving, and decision -making activities throughout the project
    lifecycle

Who You Are

  • 15+ years of leadership
    experience within heavy civil or infrastructure construction

  • Proven experience leading
    large -scale infrastructure projects valued in the hundreds of millions

  • Strong background in:
    • Structural concrete
    • Heavy civil infrastructure
    • Bridges and transportation
      projects

    • Transit infrastructure
    • Marine or major public
      infrastructure projects

  • Demonstrated success managing
    large project teams and complex field operations

  • Strong commercial, contractual,
    and operational management experience

  • Excellent leadership,
    communication, and stakeholder management skills

  • Experience working within highly
    technical and schedule -driven project environments

  • Strong understanding of
    construction risk management, scheduling, and project controls

  • Engineering, Construction
    Management, or related technical background is considered an asset

  • Ability to work rotational
    schedules and travel for project assignments

Why This Role Stands Out

Landmark Infrastructure Project – Lead one of British Columbia’s major heavy civil construction
assignments

Executive Leadership Opportunity – Play a critical leadership role with significant operational influence

Exceptional Compensation Package – Highly competitive salary, bonus potential, travel support, and
benefits

Industry -Leading Organization – Join one of Canada’s most respected heavy civil contractors

Complex, High -Profile Work – Exposure to technically challenging infrastructure and structural
concrete scopes

Long -Term Career Growth – Strong project pipeline and future leadership opportunities within the
organization
