Project Director

Location:

Sherwood Park, AB (with travel to project sites as required)

About MSCP MSCP Heat Management Solutions operates as a

system of interdependent nodes , not a traditional hierarchy. Estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution are connected through the shared objective of maintaining flow and delivering reliable outcomes.

The organization is guided by

systems thinking and Theory of Constraints , where performance is measured by the ability to

manage constraints, synchronize functions, and improve throughput across the system .

Projects are not managed in isolation. They are

vehicles through which work flows , and their success depends on how well they move through the entire system, not just how well they are executed locally.

Role Overview The Project Director is responsible for ensuring that

projects move effectively through the MSCP system .

This role does not exist to oversee individual projects from a distance. It exists to

manage flow across multiple projects , align functions, and remove constraints that limit system performance.

The Project Director operates across estimating, engineering, manufacturing, and field execution, ensuring that priorities, resources, and decisions support

overall system throughput rather than isolated project success .

Success in this role is measured by:

Stability and predictability of project flow

Reduction of systemic bottlenecks and delays

Improved coordination across functions

Development and elevation of Project Managers

Growth of repeatable, long-term client work

Key Responsibilities System Flow Ownership Maintain visibility across all active and upcoming projects

Ensure work flows smoothly across estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution

Identify disruptions to flow and act to restore alignment

Prioritize work based on system capacity rather than individual project pressure

Constraint Management Identify the current system constraint and adjust focus accordingly

Reallocate resources and adjust priorities to support throughput

Prevent local optimization that negatively impacts overall system performance

Escalate and resolve constraints that cannot be addressed at the Project Manager level

Coach and support Project Managers in adopting a system-based approach

Shift PM focus from task execution to coordination, communication, and client development

Provide guidance on prioritization, decision-making, and stakeholder management

Standardize practices where appropriate to improve consistency and flow

Cross-Functional Integration Ensure alignment between engineering output and field execution requirements

Support integration between manufacturing capabilities and project demand

Align procurement with actual system needs and project timing

Facilitate communication and coordination across nodes to reduce friction

Client & Strategic Alignment Maintain and develop senior-level client relationships

Align project commitments with actual system capacity and capability

Identify opportunities for repeatable work and long-term partnerships

Ensure client expectations are consistent with MSCP’s operating model

Performance & Continuous Improvement Monitor project and system performance to identify trends and recurring issues

Contribute to the development of processes, standards, and system improvements

Support the ongoing evolution of MSCP’s operating model using Theory of Constraints principles

Drive improvements that increase reliability, predictability, and throughput

Qualifications & Experience 10+ years of experience in industrial, construction, or project-based environments

Experience managing multiple projects or programs simultaneously

Strong understanding of project execution, including engineering, procurement, and field operations

Demonstrated ability to lead across functions rather than within a single discipline

Experience developing teams and mentoring Project Managers

Familiarity with systems thinking or Theory of Constraints is an asset

What Sets You Apart You think in terms of

systems, not individual projects

You naturally identify bottlenecks and focus effort where it matters most

You are comfortable making decisions that benefit the whole, not just one part

You lead through alignment and clarity rather than control

You are able to balance client needs with internal capability

High level of interaction across all functional areas of the business

Combination of office, field, and client-facing engagement

Involvement in both operational and strategic discussions

Why Join MSCP Play a central role in shaping how projects flow through a growing organization

Work within a system focused on throughput, not hierarchy

Influence the development of people, processes, and long-term client relationships

Be part of building a scalable, system-driven organization
