Project Manager, Transportation Infrastructure

Chandos is seeking a Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex transportation infrastructure projects throughout Western Canada. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys staying close to the work and collaborating with field operations, clients, consultants, and preconstruction teams to drive project success from start to finish. While based in Calgary, project-related travel will be required. This is not a purely office-based role. We are looking for a builder who understands project execution, can anticipate and manage risk, and is comfortable spending time in the field supporting construction teams. The role is focused on complex transportation structures, including bridges, LRT infrastructure, transit stations, and transit hubs. Applicants whose experience is primarily in highway paving, asphalt production and placement, road resurfacing or widening, underground municipal servicing, or linear road construction with limited structural scope are likely not a fit.
