Position Overview

At Kiewit, we don’t just build infrastructure, we build people, communities, and careers. Since 1884, our employee-owned culture has set a standard in North America for innovation and impact across sectors like transportation, water, power, oil & gas, mining, and more.

As a Site HR Specialist, you’ll play a critical role in supporting our people where it matters most, on the project. You’ll gain firsthand experience in the field, build strong partnerships with leaders and employees, and have access to career growth opportunities within one of North America’s top construction companies.

Now we’re looking for a Site Human Resources Specialist to bring HR expertise directly to the jobsite. This isn’t HR behind a desk; it’s HR in the field, where you’ll be the first point of contact for employees, supervisors, and project leaders. You’ll handle the day-to-day HR needs of the project while partnering with our centralized HR team (1HR) and HR Business Partners for specialized support.

We are a major industrial contractor that work on projects that involve construction of oil & gas facilities such as oilsands processing, including steam–assisted gravity drainage facilities, upgrading & refining, midstream facilities, power & co-generation, terminal projects (ex. LNG, LPG, etc.), and major mine developments. We also have a Modular Yard facility in Edmonton, Alberta.

Our engineering branch is a leading-edge division that offers innovative engineering services for our current projects and new pursuits in Canada. Our design services group are based in Calgary and Houston offering expertise in process, piping, mechanical, electrical and civil/structural disciplines.

Location

For this role we will hire out of Edmonton with an initial assignment likely to be in the Edmonton area.

We have multiple projects in Western Canada and beyond you may be assigned to after your first assignment. The ability to travel and relocate as-needed is key for this role. One of the many things that makes Kiewit’s culture unique is that we go where the work is, which exposes your career to abundant opportunities. We relocate our teams based on the work that is available, combined with the development plans, skill sets and career goals of each team member.

This means your Kiewit adventure is custom-designed to meet our shared needs.
