Job description

Join one of Canada's leading real estate organizations and play a key role in delivering new commercial retail developments across Western Canada.

Your New Employer

HighView Partners is pleased to be working with a notable Canadian real estate group that specializes in owning, managing, and developing commercial real estate, with a focus on necessity-based retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties.

With a strong national platform and an established development pipeline, the organization continues to create value through strategic investments, active asset management, and development. Its collaborative culture emphasizes accountability, professional growth, and strong relationships across the business.

Your New Role

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager, you will oversee ground-up commercial retail development projects throughout Western Canada. Acting as the owner's representative, you will manage the full project lifecycle, from due diligence and design through procurement, construction, and final turnover.

You will develop and manage project budgets, schedules, and forecasts, ensuring projects remain on track and aligned with approved financial targets. Working closely with Development, Leasing, Asset Management, Property Management, and other internal teams, you will provide technical input to support leasing negotiations, project planning, and capital approvals.

You will lead external project teams, including architects, engineers, contractors, and consultants, while overseeing procurement, tendering, contract negotiations, and vendor selection. You will also coordinate municipal approvals, review construction drawings, monitor site progress, and proactively address risks to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.

An important aspect of the role involves tenant coordination, working with Leasing and external stakeholders to incorporate tenant requirements into project execution. You will also manage project documentation, contracts, and change orders while providing regular progress updates to senior leadership.

What Sets You Apart

You bring a minimum of five years of progressive construction project management experience, including experience managing ground-up construction projects. Ideally, you have experience delivering commercial retail developments and understand the complexities of managing projects from an owner's perspective.

Your background may include working with a commercial developer, property owner, or construction management firm. You hold a degree or diploma in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field. Professional designations such as PMP, Gold Seal Certification, or P.Eng. are considered assets.

You are a confident communicator and collaborative project leader who can manage multiple priorities, build strong relationships, and navigate challenges effectively. You are proficient in Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project, with familiarity with platforms such as Bluebeam, Procore, PMWeb, or Yardi considered an asset.

You hold a valid driver's licence, have access to a vehicle, and are comfortable travelling throughout Western Canada.

What You Can Expect

You will join an established national real estate organization with a substantial portfolio and an active development pipeline. This is an opportunity to take ownership of commercial retail projects, collaborate with experienced industry professionals, and contribute directly to the organization's continued growth.

You can expect a competitive compensation and benefits package alongside a collaborative environment that values professional development and long-term career growth.

The position is based in Calgary, Alberta, with a flexible hybrid arrangement requiring a minimum of three days per week in the office.
