Description

The Project Manager of Construction & Commissioning (PMCC) oversees field operations for a project, ensuring that scope, schedule, and budget are controlled and supported with input from project stakeholders. The role is critical to delivering site work safely, to required quality standards, on time and within budget. Ideal candidates bring extensive construction site management experience, strong leadership, and rapid problem‑solving abilities.

Key responsibilities include defining site‑work strategy with the Project Director, Construction Leader and Site Manager, and proactively planning site mobilization—covering tooling, safety equipment, warehousing, office infrastructure, worker accommodations and required training. The PMCC prepares detailed mobilization plans, leads tollgate reviews, tracks documentation, and establishes financial and physical progress reporting structures that are updated monthly. Additional duties involve weekly schedule updates, risk mitigation, vendor package management, RFQ preparation, and leading site demobilization at project close‑out.

• Define site‑work strategy with project leadership.
• Anticipate and plan site mobilization resources and training.
• Prepare detailed mobilization plans and lead tollgate reviews.
• Track and issue site documentation (methods, quality plan, commissioning reports).
• Build and update financial and physical progress tracking structures monthly.
• Conduct detailed financial analysis including budgets, cost reporting, slippages, claims and forecasts.
• Proactively mitigate risks and evaluate opportunities.
• Travel to sites (~25% of time) to oversee operations.
• Update weekly site schedule comparing planned vs actual progress.
• Coordinate communications across project teams to secure planning and execution.
• Identify scope changes and assess quantity/quality impacts.
• Prepare RFQs and purchase requests for subcontractors.
• Manage vendor packages such as piping, painting, electrical, scaffolding and machining.
• Lead site demobilization at project completion.

A college or bachelor’s degree in management or mechanical/electrical engineering—or equivalent field experience—is preferred, along with 10+ years of project‑management experience in construction or commissioning (or 3‑5 years of direct experience). Candidates must possess excellent bilingual communication skills, demonstrated leadership, and be willing to travel across Canada; a Project Management certification and familiarity with hydropower technology are desirable.
