About the job

Foresight Recruitment Group is partnering with a global leader in integrated facility management to recruit a Project Manager in Calgary. They want someone who can take full ownership of client projects from kickoff to close-out.

This is not a traditional construction site PM role.

We are looking for someone who understands that a successful project is measured by the client experience as much as the schedule and budget. Someone who can define scope with stakeholders, build a realistic plan and budget, spot risk early, and keep vendors, project teams and clients aligned through every phase.

You’ll deliver projects of moderate complexity across a diverse portfolio of client facilities. Many are in occupied, operational buildings, from corporate offices and government facilities to critical environments where downtime isn’t an option.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Planning and overseeing the end-to-end delivery of assigned projects


• Defining project scope, deliverables and requirements in collaboration with stakeholders


• Developing project plans, budgets, cost estimates, resource requirements and timelines


• Identifying project risks and building mitigation and contingency plans


• Monitoring delivery against schedule and making sure projects finish on time


• Overseeing project team members and tracking task completion


• Managing vendor relationships and performance


• Communicating project status clearly and consistently to stakeholders


• Making sure all work complies with regulatory, environmental and health and safety requirements


• Building strong client relationships, resolving issues and managing expectations


• Bringing a continuous-improvement mindset to project delivery and best practices

What we’re looking for:

• 3 to 5 years of project management experience


• A college diploma or university degree, preferably in architectural, construction or engineering technology, or equivalent work experience


• A proven track record of delivering projects on time, on budget and within specification


• Solid experience developing and managing project budgets


• Strong risk management and problem-solving skills


• Advanced communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills


• A high degree of client service orientation


• Experience managing vendors and contractors


• Proficiency in MS Project, Excel and Outlook, and the ability to learn new applications quickly


• Experience in facility management, tenant improvements, owner's-side delivery or occupied-building projects is strongly preferred

Candidates may currently hold titles such as:

Project Manager | Project Coordinator (Senior) | Facilities Project Manager | Construction Project Manager | Owner's Representative

PMP certification or LEED accreditation, completed or in progress, is an asset.

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the platform. Our client manages a large, diverse portfolio across government, financial services, healthcare, education, telecommunications and data centres. That means varied, meaningful projects and room to grow your career within a global organization.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of the outcome, not just the task list.
