Description
Our Transmission group is looking to add a RoW Project Controls Administrator to our growing team, based in Edmonton, AB.
Reporting to the Manager, RoW Project Controls & Estimating, we are seeking a detail-oriented project controls professional to work closely with our field, lands, permitting and GIS teams and with client representatives. This position will help keep the numbers behind our RoW work accurate and current, from the estimate through to the final invoice. That means building estimates and budgets in InEight, tracking cost, progress and performance on a portfolio of projects, and preparing the progress packages our clients use for inspection and that support our billings. It will also help keep our project systems (InEight, Ecosys, GISCloud, RowAmps and our GIS data tools) set up, connected and working for the people who use them, and will lead one area for the whole group (such as InEight and estimating, or systems and data integration).
Valard’s Right-of-Way (RoW) team manages forestry, access, lands, operational permitting and reclamation for major transmission projects across Canada. Our team brings together engineering, forestry, planning, environment, regulatory, project controls and GIS expertise.
