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
