Technical Manager

At Clearway we are committed to every project. We pride ourselves on a keen work ethic and more importantly, the talent and skill of our people. In fact, the Clearway Staff is the reason why so many organizations turn to us for the most complex construction assignments. That is how we’ve evolved from a sewer and watermain contractor, to one of Canada’s most reputable construction companies with as many capabilities as there are needs.

Clearway has been operating for more than 50 years, specializing in sewers and watermains, transportation, dry utilities, shoring, road reconstruction, bridges, concrete forming, marine, environmental remediation and treatment plants / pumping stations.

If you are looking to work for a growing company who values the contribution of its employees and you demonstrate creativity, ingenuity, initiative and a high-level commitment then we are the company for you. We offer challenging and rewarding career opportunities, with room to grow, learn and excel.

Summary:

The Technical Manager provides technical and design leadership across Clearway’s preconstruction pursuits and major projects. The role integrates design, engineering, constructability, scheduling, temporary works, means and methods, risk, and proposal strategy to develop solutions that are safe, practical, compliant, competitive, and executable.

Working across the full pursuit and delivery lifecycle, the Technical Manager coordinates Clearway’s construction, estimating, scheduling, proposal, commercial, and operations teams with designers, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, owners, and project partners. The position supports all Alternative Procurements and Major Projects, including DB, PDB, CMAR, Alliance, CMGC, P3, IPD, and other collaborative delivery models.
