Job description
Senior Project Manager | Burnaby, BC. | Full-Time – ID# 6810
Are you ready to make an impact in the municipal utilities and heavy infrastructure industry?
Join PTAG, a leading Project Management Advisory & Services firm, recognized across North America for helping world-class clients deliver major capital projects successfully.
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager – Specifications Modernization & Governance to support our growing team in Burnaby, BC. In this role, you will lead a structured, multi-wave modernization program focused on technical specifications, engineering standards, and document governance across a large municipal utilities portfolio.

About PTAG
At PTAG, we help our clients plan, manage, and execute their most challenging projects with innovation, integrity, and collaboration.
Our mission is to help our clients achieve successful delivery and efficient operation of their capital projects.
Our vision is to support global leaders in the selection, planning, and execution of their major initiatives.
Our values include:
  • Safety: The safety of our employees, suppliers, and clients is always the top priority.
  • Collaboration: We build true partnerships with clients and service providers.
  • Leadership: We elevate project performance through the application of best practices.
  • Accountability: We take responsibility for every aspect of our engagements.
  • Client Satisfaction: We strive for 100% satisfaction on every project.
  • Integrity: We believe in open and transparent communication at all levels.

Role & Responsibilities
This is a senior-level program leadership role requiring direct experience running document modernization initiatives within structured public-sector environments. This role is accountable for delivering a multi-wave specifications modernization program with clear performance controls, measurable outputs, and disciplined governance oversight.

In this role, you will:
  • Lead the planning and execution of a structured Specifications & Standards Modernization Program, delivered in defined waves (6–12 months per wave).
  • Define wave backlogs, throughput targets, and measurable acceptance criteria for each modernization wave to ensure predictable and trackable delivery.
  • Run scope and priority alignment workshops with stakeholders and actively manage the change control boundary between “refresh” and “rewrite” decisions.
  • Develop and manage integrated program schedules, budgets, and resource plans aligned with client governance requirements.
  • Establish and maintain program-level RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and structured change control processes.
  • Manage the integrated SME/EOR review cadence, including structured review cycles, timeline controls, and escalation pathways to keep approvals and comment cycles moving.
  • Coordinate stakeholders across Engineering, Operations, PMO, Procurement, and technical SMEs to ensure alignment and timely decision-making.
  • Define and govern formal acceptance criteria, review workflows, and approval pathways, including Engineer-of-Record (EOR) sign-off protocols.
  • Oversee document lifecycle management processes, including versioning controls, controlled publishing discipline, and library integrity.
  • Monitor and report on modernization performance metrics, including backlog volume, review cycle duration, decision turnaround times, and wave completion rates.
  • Facilitate executive-level steering committee updates and provide structured reporting on risks, decisions, and program health.
  • Drive accountability and alignment across technical writing, governance, and document control teams.

Qualifications / Requirements
To succeed in this role, you bring:
  • 12+ years of experience in municipal infrastructure, utilities, or heavy civil capital environments, with a strong governance and program management background.
  • Demonstrated experience leading document modernization programs and managing controlled document libraries (must-have requirement).
  • Proven experience working within structured controlled-document environments such as SharePoint or equivalent document management systems, including workflow, versioning, and publishing governance.
  • Direct experience overseeing technical specification programs, engineering standards libraries, or owner-controlled documentation frameworks.
  • Strong program management capability including schedule development, backlog planning, change control, and performance metric tracking.
  • Experience managing structured multi-stakeholder review cycles and formal approval pathways.
  • Ability to define measurable delivery metrics (throughput, cycle times, acceptance criteria) and enforce disciplined reporting.
  • Strong executive communication skills, including preparation of steering committee materials and governance dashboards.
  • Experience working within Canadian municipal or public-sector governance environments.
  • PMP designation or equivalent project management credential is considered an asset.

Salary Range for Role: $150,000 - $160,000 per year (full-time)
Compensation at PTAG varies depending on a wide array of factors, which may include but are not limited to the specific office location, role, skill set and level of experience of the candidate.
