REPORTING LINES
The Project Manager reports directly to the Director of Project Management.
THE JOB OF PROJECT MANAGER
The Project Manager is a key member of the management of our company. The Project Manager is responsible for a significant number of our projects, from the early proposal stage to the final close out of the project. The project portfolio ranges from small to large projects. The company is usually a key subcontractor to large construction, environmental consulting and engineering companies. The Project Manager’s performance in managing these projects is key to the success of our clients’ projects and thus of our company.
This requires someone with the desire and the competence to grow with our successful company. Aside from the right qualifications, we look for someone who has the right attitude for a small-medium sized company: flexibility, initiative, self-starter, and going the extra mile.
