You will oversee and motivate teams based in Ottawa and the GTHA, supporting delivery of transformative projects that enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility. Your leadership will help Egis push the boundaries of innovation while delivering the practical, high-impact infrastructure that cities rely on every day.
