• Experience leading cross‑functional or transversal teams in a technical environment
• Strong communication skills — written and verbal — with the ability to present to clients and senior management
• University degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• Valid driver’s licence (occasional travel to project sites within the Vancouver area required)

• P.Eng. designation (Professional Engineers of Ontario or equivalent)
• Proficiency in SAP, MS Project, Visio, JIRA, or DOORS
• Prior experience with site mobility tools for installation and T&C activities
• P&L management experience
