Senior Project Manager – Commercial & Institutional Construction

📍Calgary, AB | 🏗 General Contractor (Confidential)

💼 Full-Time | Permanent

💰 $140,000–$170,000 base salary + bonus + benefits + employee ownership

Twin Staffing is proud to partner with one of Canada’s most respected and innovative general contractors to find an experienced Senior Project Manager to join their Kelowna-based team. This is a high-impact leadership role with a clearly defined career path toward Project Director within the near future.

If you're a construction leader who thrives in collaborative environments, has a track record delivering mid-to-large institutional and commercial projects, and wants to be part of a forward-thinking, 100% employee-owned company, this opportunity is for you.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll lead full-cycle delivery of complex commercial and institutional construction projects — from design and pre-construction to close-out. You’ll also mentor future leaders and play an integral role in the company’s continued growth.

Project Oversight

• Lead cradle-to-grave delivery of multi-residential, institutional, and commercial projects
• Manage design reviews, constructability assessments, cost planning (Class D, B, Tender), tendering, procurement, contract administration, and close-out
• Oversee both CM and CM-to-stip-sum (CCDC 5A/5B to CCDC 2) delivery models
• Identify risks and opportunities throughout construction; guide the team through CM conversion

Business Leadership

• Mentor PMs, Coordinators, Supers, and support staff — developing the next generation of talent
• Support business development by crafting compelling methodologies and proposals that win work
• Build trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and subcontractors
• Drive continuous improvement and safety best practices
• Collaborate cross-functionally to embed innovation and improve delivery processes

What You Bring

• 8+ years’ experience with a general contractor (not developer or design-build owner rep)
• 5+ years directly in a Project Manager role on commercial or institutional builds
• Proven experience in full-cycle project delivery from design through handover
• Strong CM conversion knowledge (CCDC 5A/5B to CCDC 2)
• Advanced budgeting and forecasting skills at all design stages (Class D through Tender)
• Skilled in risk analysis, trade buyouts, scheduling (MS Project), and site methodology planning
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• Valid driver’s license and ability to split time between office and site
• Bonus if you have experience with IPD, Design-Build, or Progressive Design-Build models

Why This Role?

This isn’t just another project management job. It’s a launchpad to executive leadership, backed by an employee-owned company that walks the talk on collaboration, innovation, and purpose.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Industry-leading compensation + employee ownership
• Full health & dental benefits, RRSP matching, and bonus potential
• Strong team culture with a focus on mentorship, development, and career growth
• Join an award-winning builder known for complex, meaningful, and community-building projects
• Be part of something bigger — helping shape the Calgary and surrounding communities
