Are you an experienced project leader ready to shape how complex infrastructure gets delivered, and to grow the team that delivers it?Corix is looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead our largest and most complex district energy and utility infrastructure projects from development through design, construction, commissioning, and handover.
This role combines hands-on project leadership with people leadership.
You'll own project outcomes end to end, set direction for project teams, and supervise and mentor Project Managers and Project Coordinators.
You'll play a key role in advancing Corix's low-carbon district energy portfolio across British Columbia and North America, including some of the region's most innovative systems such as Richmond City Centre, UBC Westbrook Place, SFU Univer City, Victoria's Dockside Green, and beyond.

Review consultant deliverables, and give project teams timely direction and decisions that keep work moving and on schedule.
Prepare, negotiate, and administer contracts with architects, engineers, consultants, clients, developers, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Lead contract awards and build a strong pool of qualified bidders.
Lead and align senior internal and external stakeholders, resolving conflicts and balancing competing technical, commercial, operational, and regulatory priorities.
Maintain an active site presence to verify progress, anticipate risks, and ensure compliance with HSE, permitting, and regulatory requirements.
Direct, supervise, and mentor junior project managers and project coordinators, including recruitment, training, performance evaluation, and professional development.
Support senior management with project development, strategic initiatives, and budget planning.
Experience & Education10+ years of related experience in engineering, project management, and construction, including leading large, complex capital projects.
Experience supervising or mentoring project staff.
Mechanical, Civil, Process/Chemical, or Electrical Engineering degree, or equivalent engineering/construction qualification.
Registered as a Professional Engineer (P.
Eng.) or eligible to join a professional organization (e. g., EGBC).
Comfortable navigating ambiguity and uncertainty, bringing structure, clarity, and alignment to complex and evolving situations.
Preference given to candidates with construction management and site supervision experience, plus building systems engineering experience (HVAC, plumbing, mechanical systems, etc.).
PMP certification is preferred; LEED qualifications are an asset.
Proficiency in French (written and spoken) is considered an asset.
Working Conditions Hybrid work arrangement Regular visits to construction sites are required.
