Our typical projects range from $100K - $4M and last anywhere from a few weeks to over 1 year in duration.

The PM's commonly manage 3-8 projects concurrently and work in a functional-matrix project structure.

• Ensuring the project objectives are met: on time, within budget, and according to specification
• Developing and maintaining the Project Management Plan, adhering to it throughout the project life cycle

• Arranging and coordinating material procurement, subcontractors, field and shop labor
• Managing documentation deliverables in alignment with the scope requirements
• Assessing and monitoring project risks
• Change management
• Project Cost control and forecasting
• Project Reporting internally and externally
• Milestone billing and invoicing
• Arranging for shipment and delivery of the project
• Site visits as required
• Review and approval of vendor invoicing
• Project Closeout and Final Documentation

Understanding pumps, piping, hydraulics, and process control equipment related to bulk fuel and lubrication packages is strongly recommended. Previous experience in the Alberta Oil Sands and/or Mining sector is considered a strong asset.


Other Qualifications are:

• Project Management Professional Certification (PMP) or a minimum of a CAPM is preferred
• Mechanical Engineering Degree or Mechanical Engineering Technologist Diploma is considered an asset
• 35 years managing multiple concurrent midsized projects ($100,000 $1,000,000)
• You must be proactive with the ability to influence project stakeholders without direct authority
• Organization, planning and multitasking skills are critical for this role
• Thrives in a team environment. Very little of this role is independent work
• Work is primarily computer based so strong skills in various Microsoft programs such as Word, Outlook, and Excel is required.

• There may be requirements to travel to project work sites on occasion
