• Forecast, monitor, and report on contract usage, financial controls, and budget requirements.
• Provide guidance to project teams on the sourcing, procurement, and management of goods and services contracts.
• Maintain productive supplier relationships while protecting project and contractual objectives.
• Support contracts associated with complex projects and ongoing operations.

Required Qualifications

• Significant professional experience in contract management and administration at a senior level.
• Strong post-award contract management experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing the full contract lifecycle, including both pre-award and post-award activities.
• Strong understanding of contract performance, commercial risk, contractual obligations, and supplier management.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional project and stakeholder groups.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Law, Economics, or a related discipline, or equivalent.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Candidates must be located in the Lower Mainland and able to attend the Burnaby office 2–3 days per week.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting major equipment, infrastructure, engineering, construction, or capital projects.
• Previous experience within a regulated utility or similarly complex organization.
• Experience coordinating contracts or projects across multiple locations.
• Project Management or Supply Chain Management certification.
• Valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence.

This is a strong opportunity for experienced contract professionals who enjoy the hands-on commercial and post-award side of contract management and want to support complex, high-value infrastructure and project environments.
