Position Overview

Kiewit is building Canada's defence infrastructure and we are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex projects across Canada. This position offers the opportunity to lead nationally significant infrastructure programs supporting Canada's defence capabilities and future military readiness.

This senior leadership role is responsible for the overall execution of large-scale projects delivered through Design-Build and Modified Design-Build (MDB) contracting models for the construction of airfield systems, aircraft hangars, maintenance facilities, and associated infrastructure.

Project Managers hold full accountability for safety, quality, schedule, cost, client satisfaction, and overall project performance. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, oversee the design-construction interface, and maintain strong relationships with federal defence clients and stakeholders.

As a proven builder and project leader, you have personally directed the delivery of large, complex construction projects. You possess a strong field orientation, exceptional leadership capabilities, and the ability to effectively manage both the construction effort and the design-construction interface in a high-accountability environment.
