Job description

About Us

AllRock Consulting Ltd. is a fast growing and innovative geotechnical, materials and Environmental engineering company. AllRock’s geotechnical engineers, and materials specialists are focused on solving design, construction, and rehabilitation issues impacting the communities in which we work and live. By pairing cutting-edge site investigation technology with tried-and-true experience, we bring unparalleled expertise to the entire geotechnical spectrum, from planning and investigation, to execution and quality control.

AllRock works with clients in the pre-construction phases of a project to discover and examine what lies beneath their construction project. Our team collaborates with clients during the design phases to ensure they have all the geotechnical information needed to complete a successful project. This information allows projects to be completed on time and on budget, by working through problems upfront rather than during construction.

AllRock is proud to say that we are a 100% owned and operated Mi'kmaq First Nations company. The Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nations & Millbrook Mi'kmaq First Nations are proudly represented through our owners and senior management. We are proud to be registered as a Certified Aboriginal Business with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. Indigenous candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Why Work With AllRock Consulting Limited

Our commitment to supporting the whole person is reflected in how we reward our employees:

• Strong Support Network – Benefit from full operational and technical backing from our Newfoundland and Ontario offices, plus collaboration across our national team.
• Opportunity to Grow – Lead and shape our existing branch, making a tangible impact through your vision and leadership.
• Professional Excellence – Join a trusted Canadian consulting firm recognized for quality, integrity, and client-focused solutions.
• Competitive salaries paired with an exceptional benefits package, including critical illness, long-term disability, life insurance, and comprehensive health and dental coverage.
• A Health Spending Account to help manage your medical expenses.
• Generous vacation time, paid personal days, and sick time to prioritize your well-being and that of your family.
• Financial assistance for professional development, along with flexible scheduling to help you balance work and family life.

AllRock Consulting is rapidly growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead and expand our Ottawa operations.

In this key leadership role, you’ll combine your technical expertise, whether in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, or materials testing, with strong leadership and business development skills to operate, grow, and elevate our offices.

• Responsible for invoicing clients on a monthly basis unless an alternative payment schedule is specifically requested by the client and agreed upon by the group leader and/or department manager.
• Responsible for retention of existing clients and acquisition of new clients.
