• Manage timelines, budgets, resources, scope, vendors, and risks to ensure projects are delivered successfully.
• Coordinate with procurement, logistics, contractors, and technology teams to keep projects moving.
• Support meter, AMI/AMR, and technology implementations, including onsite investigations and troubleshooting when required.

• 3–5+ years of project management experience, ideally in municipal infrastructure, utilities, technology deployment, construction, waterworks, or related industries.
• Proven experience managing projects through planning, execution, and closeout, with experience in proposals, tenders, procurement, or customer-facing technical sales considered a strong asset.
• Strong organizational, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and customer expectations.
• Commercial awareness, including understanding of project budgets, risk management, and customer value.
• Experience with municipal governments, public utilities, water/wastewater systems, AMI/AMR technologies, or infrastructure projects is a strong asset.
• Comfortable working onsite at customer locations and travelling throughout Canada and the USA as required.
