Who we are?

Cansel helps clients capture, transform and manage data leading to increased field to finish efficiency and profitability.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Project Manager (10+ years of experience) with a strong foundation in both GIS and surveying to support the delivery of complex geospatial and infrastructure projects across Canada and North America. This role is focused on hands-on project execution and coordination, requiring a deep understanding of geospatial data workflows and integration. The successful candidate will be responsible for planning and tracking project activities, coordinating with cross-functional teams (field, processing, GIS, and client stakeholders), ensuring QA/QC standards are met, and delivering high-quality, GIS-ready outputs. Strong experience with data transformation and automation tools such as FME is highly desirable to support scalable and efficient workflows.

In this role, you will...

• Collaborate with Survey and GIS teams to assess client requirements, scope projects, and create detailed proposals.

• Manage project budgets, schedules, and milestones, ensuring timely and on-budget delivery.
• Facilitate communication with clients, stakeholders, and team members, maintaining transparency and alignment.
• Conduct regular project reviews, update stakeholders, and implement risk mitigation strategies.
• Support the integration of GIS solutions into existing workflows, customizing them as needed.

About you...

• Minimum 10+ years of experience in project management for survey and GIS-related projects.
• PMP certification preferred.
• This role requires strong technical depth, attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex geospatial data into clear, actionable insights for clients.
• Experience with mobile mapping systems, asset extraction workflows, and structured GIS data models is essential.
• This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong professional who enjoys staying close to the data and workflows while driving project success without direct people management responsibilities.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, SmartSheet, Salesforce).
• Experience in budget management and financial reporting.
• Ability to handle multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines, and deliver outstanding results.
• Bilingual in English and French, with strong communication skills preferred
