Construction Manager, Roadways

Purpose of the Position

Reporting into the Civil Lead, the Construction Manager, Roadways will play a senior, construction‑led role supporting the design and development phase, with a defined pathway into execution. Acting as the Roadway equivalent of the Structures Lead, this role owns the construction strategy for all civil roadway, guideway, streetscape and landscape works, ensuring designs are constructable, stageable, traffic‑aware, and executable in a dense urban environment.

This role serves as the critical interface between design, utilities, traffic, planning, and construction, influencing early decisions to reduce downstream risk and ensure seamless transition into delivery. Once the project moves into construction, the role will transition into leading the Roads execution team across all sections.

What You’ll Do Here

Design & Development Phase

• Act as the construction‑savvy civil roads lead during design and development, ensuring roadway designs support constructability, staging, traffic management, and utilities sequencing, not just compliance.
• Own the construction strategy for all roadway works.
• Serve as the primary bridge between roadway designers, utilities, traffic, estimators, planners, and construction teams.
• Challenge and workshop roadway and staging concepts to improve buildability, safety, and public interface outcomes.
• Lead value engineering, options analysis, and scope optimization related to roadway geometry, pavement structure, staging, temporary works, streetscaping and landscaping.
• Influence means and methods, access, sequencing, detours, and traffic staging strategies.
• Ensure roadway design decisions align with utilities sequencing and major traffic pattern changes, including detours and road conversions.
• Create a detailed plan for all temporary works required to facilitate the execution phase
• Support development of cost estimates, schedules, construction methodologies, and risk registers for roadway works.
• Prepare resource plans in advance of execution so that staffing can be appropriately costed in the estimates
• Coordinate closely with the three geographic sections (West, Central, East) and support Section Managers during development.
• Work within an Alliance Contract model throughout the design development phase and transition into the execution phase delivery environment.

Construction Phase

• Lead the Civil Roads execution team once the project transitions into construction.
• Oversee planning, sequencing, and coordination of roadway, streetscaping, and landscaping works across all segments including management of temporary works and temporary traffic diversions
• Work closely with the People, Performance, and Culture team for resource planning and talent acquisition to ensure the right people are available at the right time
• Coordinate closely with utilities, traffic, structures, project controls, safety, quality, and field leadership.
• Manage scope clarity, staging impacts, and change implications to support strong commercial performance.
• Maintain strong interfaces with the City, client, designers, and Alliance partners throughout execution.
• Ensure roadway delivery meets schedule, safety, public impact, and quality objectives in a highly constrained urban corridor.
• Managing major traffic and staging changes, including:
• Utilities‑driven sequencing constraints
• City‑wide traffic pattern adjustments and detours
• Ensuring roadway designs enable constructable staging and execution, not just design compliance.

What You Bring to the Team

• Civil Engineering background preferred, or equivalent hands‑on roadway construction experience.
• 15+ years of experience in civil construction, with a strong focus on roadway works.
• Proven experience delivering urban roadway projects in constrained environments.
• Strong background in complex staging, traffic management, and utilities coordination.
• Experience in Alliance, Design Build, Progressive Design Build, and/or P3 delivery models.
• International experience acceptable where aligned to comparable urban Alliance/DB/P3 projects.
• Strong collaborator with the ability to influence design and delivery teams.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work under pressure, prioritize competing demands, and support large, multi‑section projects.
