Hands on past construction experience is also highly valued.

A degree in Civil, Structural, or Geotechnical Engineering is a requirement for this position. Although we don't do design internally anymore, our project management team all have an engineering background.

Where applicable, applicants can expect to work with a Senior Project Manager gaining experience with all aspects of the job cycle, including client relations, estimating, bidding, contracts, schedules, budgets, QA/QC, and general project management.

Our modern office is located in North Vancouver and the majority of our projects are within the Greater Vancouver region. Project management staff work from our office and make site visits as needed.

West Shore is a progressive workplace that values work-life balance, striving to keep the average working hours well below industry norms and to compensate transparently for all hours worked.
