Pro-Western Mechanical works across Western Canada. We provide complete mechanical services, specializing in multi-dwelling residential: condos, apartments, hotels and light industrial/commercial.

This full-time permanent role supports the Operations department through the planning, organization, commercial management, administration, and execution of mechanical construction projects.

The position works closely with assigned Project Leads, Construction Managers or Superintendents, as applicable, as well as Foremen and other site leadership.

The role is based in Saskatoon and will require travel to projects out of town.

Role & Responsibilities:

• Provide overall project leadership and act as the primary point of contact and single point of accountability for assigned projects.
• Maintain a complete understanding of project contracts, scope, drawings, specifications, schedules, estimated budgets, and commercial requirements.
• Develop and maintain project execution plans, including procurement, submittals, mobilization, labour, sequencing, testing, commissioning, and closeout requirements.
• Work closely with the assigned Project Lead, Construction Manager or Superintendent, as applicable, and the Foreman to coordinate manpower, sequencing, production, site constraints, upcoming work, schedule requirements, and required decisions.
• Ensure field leadership has clear direction, timely information, appropriate resources, and the support required to execute the work safely and efficiently, while maintaining clear communication and escalation between the project office and site.
• Plan labour requirements, forecast staffing needs, and communicate resource requirements and changes to Operations.
• Own project schedule performance and monitor progress, milestones, delays, critical activities, and recovery requirements.
• Manage project budgets, committed costs, cost-to-complete forecasts, billings, cash flow, and anticipated margin throughout the project lifecycle.
• Identify, document, evaluate, and manage project risks, variances, delays, scope changes, and potential cost impacts.
• Prepare, review, and manage change documentation, pricing, RFIs, submittals, notices, and other project correspondence within assigned authority.
• Maintain effective communication with customers, general contractors, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, internal departments, and site leadership.
• Coordinate purchasing, materials, fixtures, equipment, tools, and subcontractors required for project execution.

This position is not normally supported by a Project Coordinator and is expected to complete these tasks directly.
• Maintain complete and current project records in Procore and the company ERP/business system, including project status, forecasts, commitments, billings, changes, procurement, and required reporting.
• Conduct project kickoff, progress, risk-review, and closeout meetings as required.
• Complete site visits as required based on project stage, complexity, risk, performance, customer needs, and the level of support required by the assigned Project Lead, Construction Manager or Superintendent, Foreman, and site team.

• Oversee project safety performance, support site leadership in maintaining compliance, and ensure required safety documentation and corrective actions are completed.
• Implement and maintain project quality-control requirements, including inspections, testing, deficiency management, rework prevention, and turnover readiness.
• Manage delays and disruptions caused by material availability, design changes, access restrictions, other trades, customer decisions, or other external factors.
• Ensure completion of all project closeout requirements, including deficiencies, manuals, warranties, as-built information, training, final billing, and account settlement.
