About The Position

PRI is seeking a Senior Account Manager to own and grow client relationships in our Transportation & Infrastructure sector, based in Toronto. This is a senior commercial role for an experienced relationship-builder who thrives on winning and growing work with public agencies, transportation authorities, and infrastructure owners, and who is ready to carry significant accounts with real autonomy. As Senior Account Manager, you will own a portfolio of the sector's important client relationships, lead pursuits, and grow revenue across your accounts. You will be backed by strong technical practices in civil, structural, geotechnical, hydrotechnical, and related disciplines, so you can focus your energy on clients, relationships, and growth. This is a senior seat on the commercial team, a step below the Sector Vice President and a natural path toward it, with the opportunity to mentor Account Managers along the way. PRI's Transportation & Infrastructure sector serves provincial and municipal transportation agencies, transportation authorities, public infrastructure owners, and the contractors and partners who deliver major infrastructure. The role is based in Toronto, and much of this work is won through structured public-sector procurement, where relationships, reputation, and pursuit discipline all matter.

An established network among transportation agencies, municipalities, infrastructure owners, or the contractors and partners active in the Ontario infrastructure market.
Experience leading pursuits and proposals, including win strategy and pricing.
Strong commercial acumen, including an understanding of margin, pricing, and the economics of professional-services delivery.
Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the presence to engage senior client decision-makers.
The autonomy and judgment of a senior commercial operator, and a genuine commitment to client service and team success.
