Position: Junior Project Manager - High-Rise Residential Development
Location: Calgary, AB
Compensation: Up to $110,000 (commensurate with experience)
A growing real estate Developer in Calgary is seeking a Junior Project Manager to join their team. This is a unique opportunity to step out of a traditional general contractor or consulting firm and into a developer that self-performs its own construction projects, specializing in high-rise residential condos across the city.
About the Role:
The ideal candidate will come from a general contractor, EPCM, or cost consulting background and already have a solid understanding of how to run a construction project. Working closely with the Construction Manager, you'll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle-from land acquisition and permitting through to construction execution, turnover, and transition to property management.
This role is perfect for someone with a post-secondary education related to construction who is ready to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility in a smaller, agile team environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist in managing all project phases from pre-construction to final handover
- Support permitting, budgeting, tendering, procurement, and scheduling
- Coordinate with consultants, trades, suppliers, and internal stakeholders
- Maintain accurate records, documentation, and cost tracking
- Attend site meetings, assist with QA/QC, and monitor project progress
- Participate in post-construction activities including occupancy and transition to property management
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- Post-secondary education in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field
- Currently working with a GC, EPCM, or cost consultant in a project coordinator or junior PM capacity
- Strong base knowledge of construction processes, timelines, and coordination
- Highly detail-oriented, organized, and eager to grow professionally
- Self-starter who can work independently and manage competing priorities
- Long-term interest in development and the business side of construction
What's Offered:
- Salary up to $110,000 (negotiable based on experience)
- Full benefits package
- A rare opportunity to see and contribute to all phases of real estate development
- Direct mentorship from an experienced Construction Manager
- Career progression into more senior roles in construction or development
To Apply:
If you're looking to take your construction knowledge to the next level and be part of a team that does it all, from buying land to handing over keys, this role offers unmatched exposure and long term potential. All applications will be kept confidential.
