Summary
Join PRO-WESTERN MECHANICAL LTD. as a Project Controls Lead in our Saskatoon office. Pro-Western Mechanical is seeking a Project Controls Lead to serve as the architect and manager of our project execution processes.

This is a Monday-Friday position with limited travel in Saskatoon.

- Monitor day-to-day project milestones across all active sites.
- Identify potential schedule slips or execution bottlenecks before they impact the critical path.
- Labour Productivity/Earned Value Tracking (Milestone accountability)
- Hold regular “Execution Reviews” with Project Managers to ensure milestones are being achieved.
3. Documentation & Compliance Auditing
- Ensure real-time accuracy of project documentation, including site reports, Change Orders, Price Requests, and RFI tracking.
- Audit project files weekly to ensure the administrative health of each project is maintained.
- Oversee the timely collection and organization of project close-out requirements (O&Ms, warranties, and start-up procedures).
4. Peer Collaboration & Support
- Serve as a peer-level partner to Project Managers, providing them with the process tools they need to succeed.
- Act as a direct point of contact for the VP of Operations regarding project status and process adherence.
- Bridge communication gaps between the office and field leadership regarding execution standards.
Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years in the construction industry, specifically within project coordination, scheduling, or controls.
- Education/Trade: Preferred but not required: Project Management Professional (PMP), Journeyman Plumbing or Mechanical certificate
- Technical: Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Bluebeam, Drawings
