The person selected for the role will be the cornerstone for the successful rollout of the program and will have the opportunity to grow with the division. The ideal candidate will be responsible for ensuring successful planning and execution through completion of civil projects. The Civil Project Manager will manage all aspects of the project, from estimating, budgeting, and scheduling to resource management, ensuring safety, quality, and client satisfaction.
