Our Client
PBN Construction is more than a construction company.

Their teams work where the action is: in high-performance, industrial environments that demand precision, safety, and teamwork.
At the core of PBN’s success is a culture rooted in accountability, continuous improvement, and pride in craftsmanship. If you’re a skilled trades professional who values safety, respects the work, and takes ownership of doing the job right, you’ll fit right in.
Position Title: Paving Project Manager
Location: Saskatoon, SK
Schedule: Monday to Friday
The Opportunity
Every successful paving project begins long before the first truck arrives on site.
There are schedules to build, budgets to manage, equipment to coordinate, and crews to align. Materials need to arrive on time. Production targets need to be met. Clients expect quality. And every decision made today impacts tomorrow's progress.
This is where you lead.
As a Paving Project Manager, you're responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of asphalt paving and road construction projects across Saskatchewan. You'll provide leadership and direction to project teams while ensuring every project is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within budget.
Some days you'll be reviewing schedules and coordinating resources. Other days you'll be on-site supporting operations, managing stakeholders, or resolving challenges before they impact production. Through it all, you'll be balancing safety, quality, timelines, and financial performance.
It's fast-paced. It's challenging. And it's an opportunity to make a lasting impact on infrastructure projects across the province.

3. Reporting & Stakeholder Management
- Prepare and review project reports, progress updates, and performance metrics.
- Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, municipalities, and project stakeholders.
- Communicate project status, risks, and key milestones effectively to all parties.
- Ensure client expectations are met while maintaining project objectives.

5. Safety Leadership
- Champion a strong culture of safety throughout all project activities.
- Ensure compliance with company safety programs, policies, and procedures.
