V3 Companies believes in development by providing you with an environment to enhance your professional growth and in transforming the world around us for the better. Our name reflects that commitment to you and those who live, work and play in the special places we help to create: Visio, Vertere, Virtute – The Vision to Transform with Excellence.

We are a fast-growing firm with offices located throughout the US and Canada. Our Sherwood Park office currently engages in a range of planning, land and site development, municipal infrastructure improvement, and transportation projects throughout Alberta and other western Provinces. We believe that the worst thing for career development is to pigeonhole talent. Instead, we prefer to provide the means for you to align your personal career goals with the professional opportunities we offer.

Here’s how you fit into the V3 Team:

V3 is seeking a Technologist with a strong background in construction looking for career growth in a senior-level role in Construction Administration in our Transportation and Municipal Engineering Group. This position is a crucial role, providing leadership in the tendering, construction, and post-construction of projects, while working closely with V3 Project Managers, Resident Engineers/Technologists, Design Engineers, Subconsultants, Clients, Municipalities, and Contractors. While the role will be primarily working under our Transportation and Municipal Engineering Group, we believe that training well-rounded individuals is beneficial for our employees’ personal growth, as well as V3’s ability to service a diverse range of projects. As such, there will be further opportunities to work on Land Development projects as project needs require.

Here’s what you’ll do:

To support the construction of quality and highly-valued infrastructure that meets the needs of our clients, you will:

1. Work closely with Project Managers and Clients to prepare construction contracts and technical specifications, including administration of tender processes.
2. Prepare and oversee the preparation of quantity take-offs, and opinions of probable costs.
3. Provide oversight and support for Resident Engineers and Technologists.
4. Review, respond to, and negotiate contractor change order requests and RFI’s.
5. Provide recommendations for resolution of on-site design conflicts in collaboration with Design Engineers.
6. Participate in/chair construction meetings with Clients, Contractors, and other stakeholders.
7. Maintain regular communication with Clients to provide status updates.
8. Prepare progress payment certificates and recommendations for payment
9. Serve as a liaison between V3 project teams, clients, contractors, and municipalities.
10. Track project budgets, including both construction and consulting costs through construction and post-construction.
11. Attend post-construction inspections and prepare necessary documentation for Construction Completion and Final Acceptance Certificates.
12. Review progress reporting, and documents prepared by Resident Engineers/Technologists ensuring compliance with relevant specifications.
13. Provide leadership and mentoring to junior staff in field-based and construction administration roles.

Supporting other aspects of our work, including pursuits, design, and post-construction activities, you will:

1. Assist in the preparation of proposals for upcoming projects.
2. Work closely with Project Managers and Project Engineers to provide constructability input during the design of our projects.
3. Perform earthwork calculations and surface analysis for earth balance evaluations.
4. Assist in the technical design of projects to align with your experience levels and career objectives and authenticate, where applicable.
5. Oversee the compilation of project close-out documentation including record drawings, commissioning packages, testing documents.

Here’s some additional skillsets we are looking for:

• Designated as a C.E.T, P.L. (Eng), or P.Tech
• 7+ years of experience with Construction Administration on Transportation and Economic Corridors projects and/or municipal engineering projects, including roadways.
• Knowledge of construction practices for earthworks, deep and shallow utilities, surface works, drainage, and landscaping.
• Experience with Transportation and Economic Corridors and municipal construction standards, and construction contracts.
• Experience in construction surveying and Civil 3D is considered an asset.
• Strong ability to manage time with multiple projects and deadlines.
• Strong communicator and ability to work with teams.
• Competent in Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel, and Outlook.

What more can we tell you?

Our newly renovated office is located on the western edge of Sherwood Park, close to Anthony Henday Drive and about 20 minutes from downtown Edmonton. Our projects that you’d be engaged in typically are built in and around Edmonton and other northern Alberta municipalities, although we do support Saskatchewan efforts from the Sherwood Park office.

The job features competitive pay and paid time off and a comprehensive benefits package. However, we think a real difference maker is our collegial team-based environment and the opportunity for you to not get typecast into one role or one type of project.
