Halifax Regional Municipality is preparing for rapid growth over the next few years, and the Facility Design & Construction team is leading the charge to a sustainable, energy-efficient future for HRM and its residents.

As part of the municipality's ambitious climate action plan (HalifACT), HRM has set an ambitious target for net-zero municipal operations by 2030. This requires that we decarbonize corporate building stock through deep energy retrofits and that all new buildings are built to a net-zero ready standard. Facility Design & Construction has a program to deliver deep energy retrofits, oil conversions and recommissioning of HRM buildings. The Project Manager will have a diverse portfolio of deep energy retrofit projects and construction projects ranging from recapitalization of heritage buildings to redevelopment of recreation facilities, new construction of modernized fire stations, and everything in between. The variety of projects will provide an exciting and dynamic work environment, allowing the candidate to gain experience across different project types.
The Project Manager will also work with clients across business units such as Halifax Transit, Halifax Public Libraries, and Parks and Recreation and others in HRM. The ideal candidate has strong project management skills, values collaboration and excellent customer service. Leading and partnering with diverse teams of internal and external stakeholders, the Project Manager will employ strong communication skills, exceptional planning abilities, and agility when responding to and managing change. The Project Manager must demonstrate technical proficiency and align with HRM's commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and climate action.
