Senior Construction Project Manager

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
