Who we need
Altus Group has an opportunity in Edmonton for a Project Manager who can manage million-dollar vertical, commercial, retail or mixed-use construction projects; someone with a construction or architecture background who is skilled in process and change management. This is a role for someone who understands how to manage both the business and tactical side as well as the complex relationships and problems that arise during the construction process.
Altus Group is moving towards a multi-disciplinary project leadership role that includes expertise in scheduling, cost planning, team alignment, change order reviews, progress verification, and risk mitigation. This is the model seen globally which is a more robust approach to leading large-scale complex projects with diverse stakeholders and team members.
We want a Project Manager not just to lead the work, but to work together harmoniously to serve the common good of a successful project. This is an incredible opportunity for someone who can think on their feet, be flexible, engage and manage a team with a profound understanding of how their words and influence will affect others – to grow their career.
What’s in it for you?
Impact and influence. You want a chance to change the way construction projects are managed, and you are excited to be part of the paradigm shift Altus is leading. You want to play an integral part in our teamwork-based approach.
Growth and exposure. You will work for and be mentored by the Senior Director, Cost and Project Management, who has deep insights gained from managing and delivering large-scale construction and infrastructure projects and extensive strategic and operational experience. You want to be part of a group that works collaboratively to reduce risk, maximize value, and deliver the project together with the design team, the contractor, the owner, and all stakeholders.

- PMP Certification or Scrum Master Certification.
- 5+ years of experience in project management, overseeing and delivering complex Technology projects.
- Project Management skills. You are highly detail oriented and meticulous. Your focus is accomplishing every milestone while ensuring processes are followed, and issues are proactively dealt with.
