About the Opportunity
Plenty of project management seats in this trade run the same job on repeat: a parking structure here, a low-rise strip there, the enabling works on somebody else's build. This one is the opposite. Our client is an established demolition contractor with a full board of recently awarded work, and it shows: institutional, commercial and major infrastructure projects all live at the same time, in the $1M to $15M range.
This is a self-performing operation. Engineering, safety, equipment and crews are kept in-house, which means a project manager here owns the whole project rather than coordinating a slice of it. You would be carrying complex ICI and civil demolition from award through to close, across a genuine mix of sectors rather than one teardown repeated.
About You
If you are the kind of project manager who is energized by variety, by scale, and by work you have not done a hundred times before, this is a rare place to plant yourself. Recruitment is live right now for projects that have just been awarded, so you would be stepping straight onto real work with a signed start, not a maybe on a forecast.
The successful candidate will have the following:
You have run major demolition projects: you have owned the delivery and the financials on large, complex demolition or heavy-civil work, and you are comfortable carrying a project from award through to a clean close
You think like a builder, not a bystander: self-perform scope, sequencing, buy-out and risk are second nature, and you know the numbers only hold if you know how the job actually comes down
You thrive on variety, not repetition: you would rather move between sectors and structures than settle into one, and an unfamiliar project is the interesting part of the job, not the daunting part
You own the financial outcome: budgets, forecasts and margin sit with you, and you can read a job's numbers and call the problem before the cost report does
You raise the level around you: you give direction to Project Coordinators, set the standard for how projects are run, and handle the hard conversations yourself
You have the grounding to back it up: 8 to 12 years in demolition or heavy civil, command of the methods, sequencing and environmental legislation, and enough fluency in B2W Track, Vista and Bluebeam to keep production honest
You want the ceiling raised: you are looking for greater responsibility and work that keeps you challenged well into the future
About the Job
Location: Surrey, BC
Salary Range: $120,000 to $140,000, plus a full package, reflecting the seniority of the work and the value you bring
Real diversity of work: institutional, commercial and major infrastructure, so you will not be running the same teardown twice
A self-performing operation: engineering, safety, equipment and crews in-house, giving you a fuller view and more control of the project than a coordinate-and-sub model ever will
Full ownership, direct to leadership : you run your project and answer to leadership directly, not through a regional layer
An established builder with momentum: a busy, privately held operation taking on bigger and more complex work, with room for you to grow alongside it
