A leading real estate development and construction firm is seeking a Senior Project Manager to oversee the delivery of complex commercial and industrial projects in Calgary. In this role, you’ll take ownership from the design development phase through to construction and tenant turnover — ensuring every build hits the mark on time, budget, and quality.
You’ll be part of a tight-knit team that values proactive leadership, clear communication, and execution without shortcuts. If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands construction at both the ground and executive level, and knows how to manage both consultants and contractors with authority and respect — this is the right role for you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Leading projects from early design through construction and turnover
Selecting and managing contractors, consultants, and technical teams
Overseeing budgets, tender packages, schedules, and contracts from start to finish
Coordinating permitting, site logistics, and compliance
Driving collaboration across internal development, leasing, and finance teams
Acting as the main point of contact for site activity, construction quality, and delivery timelines
Identifying opportunities for cost savings, design efficiency, and schedule optimization
Maintaining detailed reporting and forecasting throughout the project lifecycle
What You Bring:
8+ years of experience managing construction projects — ideally commercial, industrial, and/or retail
Strong experience in full-cycle project delivery (design-build, site coordination, permits, handover)
Skilled in budgeting, scheduling, and construction contracts (CCDC familiarity is a plus)
Adept at leading consultants through the design and drawing phases
Strong relationships with local trades and industry professionals
Excellent communication, organization, and documentation skills
Tech-savvy: comfortable working in cloud-based construction tools and reporting systems
A high degree of accountability and ownership mindset
