Remote General Steel Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Project Manager — Industrial / Structural Steel & PEMB

BC, Alberta or Saskatchewan

Colony Construction is adding an experienced Project Manager as the company takes on larger industrial and heavy industrial projects across Canada.

We’re specifically looking for someone who already understands structural steel and/or PEMB construction and has enough project ownership to manage work from the GC / Prime Contractor side.

This may be particularly interesting if you are:

• managing steel or PEMB projects and want to move into broader GC / Prime Contractor ownership, or

• already with a larger General Contractor and want more autonomy, less layering and more direct responsibility for the projects you run.

The Role

This is a hands-on PM position with responsibility from award through closeout.

You’ll own:

• Budget, forecasting and project financials

• Schedule and overall project delivery

• Structural steel, PEMB and supporting trade scopes

• Subcontractors, suppliers and consultants

• Procurement

• RFIs, submittals, shop drawings and project documentation

• Contracts, purchase orders and change management

• Client communication

• Coordination with Superintendents and field teams

• Turnover and closeout

The expectation is that you understand what is happening on the project, make decisions and take responsibility for getting issues resolved.

Why Someone Might Consider Colony

Colony is growing, but it is still small enough that strong PMs have direct access to the people making decisions.

There are fewer layers between the PM, the field and leadership.

That means more ownership, but also more influence over how your projects are actually delivered.

For someone coming from a steel or PEMB contractor, the opportunity is to broaden your scope beyond one portion of the project and take on the full GC / Prime Contractor picture.

For someone coming from a larger GC, the appeal may be the ability to own more of the project yourself and have a more visible impact as the company grows.

What We Need

We’re not looking for a general commercial PM who would need to learn steel construction from scratch.

The right person will have:

• Direct structural steel and/or PEMB project experience

• PM-level responsibility

• Industrial or heavy industrial construction exposure

• Budget and schedule accountability

• Experience managing subcontractors and suppliers

• Strong drawings/specifications and construction documentation knowledge

• Enough project ownership to work independently

Experience with civil, concrete, mechanical and electrical coordination is helpful.

Travel

There is a real travel component to this role.

Some projects require a 14 days on / 7 days off site rotation, potentially for an extended period. Additional compensation is provided while working rotational assignments.

Other projects may involve remote work with regular travel and site visits.

Candidates can be based in British Columbia, Alberta or Saskatchewan.
