Project Manager - Capital Projects

TerraHR Consulting

Ottawa, Ontario
 
Salary: 140,000.00
 

About the Opportunity 

TerraHR Consulting is proud to be partnering with a leading organization in the nuclear and energy sector, recognized for delivering complex, high-impact projects within highly regulated environments. 

About the Role 

As a Project Manager, you’ll lead complex, high-risk capital projects from planning to delivery, ensuring they’re completed safely, on time, and within budget. With full accountability and delegated authority, you’ll partner with senior leadership and stakeholders to drive alignment and successful outcomes. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Demonstrate leadership and accountability for safety across all project activities  
  • Oversee high-value, multi-year projects ($15M+) including scope, cost, schedule, and risk  
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams and contractors with clear goals and accountability  
  • Define team structure, manage performance, and support contractor oversight  
  • Approve project expenditures and ensure financial compliance and control  
  • Lead project planning including scope, budgeting, forecasting, and risk management  
  • Coordinate resources across engineering, procurement, safety, and construction  
  • Oversee quality assurance and drive continuous improvement initiatives  
  • Monitor project performance, report progress, and implement corrective actions  
  • Maintain strong communication with stakeholders, regulators, and leadership  
  • Manage internal teams and external consultants to meet project objectives  
  • Ensure project governance, processes, and tools are consistently applied 

 

Qualifications 

  • 5–8 years of project management experience in regulated industries (e.g., nuclear, energy, utilities) 
  • Experience supporting or leading projects valued between $5M–$15M 
  • Background in project leadership roles managing scope, cost, schedule, and performance 
  • Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams and manage contractors 
  • Experience working with internal stakeholders and some client-facing exposure 
  • Strong knowledge of project controls, including budgeting, scheduling, and risk management 

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 in work– exposure to planning, design, and construction phases. 
  • Impact + visibility– client-facing role with real influence on project outcomes. 
  • Leadership runway– opportunity to mentor junior staff and shape how projects are delivered, not just execute someone else’s playbook. 

What We Offer 

  • 2 - 3 year contract with a possibility of extension 
  • Competitive salary based on experience 
  • Comprehensive benefits package 
  • Paid vacation 
  • Travel support, including covered hotel and lodging expenses when required 

Disclosure 

Compensation for this position will be determined based on a variety of factors, including relevant education, certifications, experience, skill set, and overall alignment with the role. The salary range listed is intended as a guideline and may be adjusted based on individual qualifications and business needs.
