We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the coordination and delivery of aluminum railings and other miscellaneous metal products, specializing in the low, medium, and high-rise residential construction sector with clients across Alberta.

The successful candidate will own each project from contract award through final close-out, coordinating between estimating, drafting, fabrication, shipping, and field installation while interfacing daily with general contractors, consulting engineers of record (EORs), architects, municipal building officials/inspectors, and site personnel.

Drawing Management

• Manage submission and approval of shop, installation, and fabrication drawings (AutoCAD); maintain submittal, RFI, and transmittal logs.
• Prioritize concept and preliminary drawings for material on the critical path and long-lead mill material.
• QA/QC shop drawings to ensure they meet the project intent.
• Coordinate trade interfaces (architectural, mechanical, electrical, precast, curtain wall, elevator) to prevent clashes around embeds, penetrations, and miscellaneous attachments.
