About the Opportunity

TerraHR Consulting is proud to be partnering with a well-established Engineering firm known for it's work across multi-disciplinary practices.

They have a wide variety of clientele in the Public and Private sector and are growing rapidly in the Canadian market. 

About the Role

As a Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of diverse transportation projects—from early planning through to design—while collaborating on multi-disciplinary work across both public and private sector clients. You’ll be involved in projects such as municipal roadways, corridor upgrades, active transportation networks, roundabouts, and modernized intersection designs.
 

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead projects independently while guiding a team through problem definition, scope development, budgeting, scheduling, and execution strategy

  • Oversee multiple projects across planning, design, and construction phases, including financial performance and delivery outcomes

  • Develop, manage, and maintain project budgets, timelines, and overall work plans

  • Take ownership of projects from early concept through to detailed design and construction support, including technical leadership

  • Contribute to the preparation of reports, proposals, and client deliverables

  • Mentor and support junior team members, fostering growth and technical development

  • Provide technical review and oversight on complex projects during construction to ensure quality and compliance

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and subconsultants

  • Ensure successful project delivery with a focus on quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction

Qualifications

  • Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering, with a current Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in Ontario

  • Minimum 8+ years of progressive experience in engineering design and project delivery

  • Proven experience mentoring and supporting junior engineers, technologists, or designers

  • Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients, stakeholders, and internal teams

  • Solid understanding of civil engineering principles related to municipal infrastructure planning, design, and construction

  • Highly organized, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver on multiple project timelines

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills (French considered an asset)

  • Valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle

Why Consider This Role

  • True ownership, not just coordination – you’re leading projects end-to-end (scope, budget, delivery), not just pushing paperwork or sitting in meetings.

  • Variety without chaos – mix of planning, design, and construction phases keeps the work interesting, while still giving you structure and accountability.

  • Impact + visibility – you’re client-facing, influencing decisions, and actually seeing projects through—not buried three layers down.

  • Leadership runway – opportunity to mentor junior staff and shape how projects are delivered, not just execute someone else’s playbook.

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary in the range of $95,000-$130,000, based on experience

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision care, disability, and life insurance

  • Paid vacation

  • Employee-owned firm with potential for future share purchases after 3 years and based on performance
  • Long-term growth with very clear career pathing and a stable and respected organization
