Project Managers provide leadership and management of construction projects for Provincial Government building Infrastructure projects.

The Building Infrastructure Design and Construction Division includes a dedicated team of professionals that work together with the goal of providing Nova Scotia with a better built environment. If you would like to help manage building Infrastructure projects and be part of a professional team that helps to shape and influence policy and practice for better more sustainable buildings in Nova Scotia, then we have an opportunity for you.

About Our Opportunity

As the Project Manager, you are accountable for the successful delivery of projects involving the design, construction and/or renovation of large multi-million-dollar public buildings.

Primary Accountabilities

The expertise you provide begins early in the project life cycle (design and tendering), and requires rigorous attention throughout the construction phase, and continues through to the end of the warranty phase. You will be responsible for:

• managing contracts the Province has with contractors and consultants;
• continuous monitoring and updating of project costs, schedule, and scope;
• leading your project team of professional designers, builders, inspectors, and other key project members in identifying and resolving issues and identifying and removing roadblocks;
• identifying, analyzing and mitigating project risks;
• liaising between Public Works and client groups throughout the duration of the projects;
• ensuring safety is of top priority and work is carried out in accordance with the OHS Act and Regulations, as well as Department standards and polices; and
• providing a smooth transition to end users by ensuring the building is ready for occupancy.
