The Project Manager, a member of the Asset Management team within Parks Canada’s Gaspésie Field Unit, is responsible for overseeing infrastructure projects at Forillon National Park as well as at the Battle of the Restigouche and Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse national historic sites.
The role requires exceptional interpersonal skills and a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively. In addition to managing your team’s human resources, you will be expected to engage regularly with other Parks Canada employees, senior management, and a range of stakeholders, including Indigenous groups, the Regroupement de personnes expropriées de Forillon et leur descendance, representatives of expropriated families, contractors, and consultants. You’ll also be working in partnership with resources such as Project Delivery Services (PDS), PSPC and Cultural Resource Management (CRM).
The Grande-Grave Heritage Accommodation Project will be the project manager’s main project. This is a major initiative for Parks Canada and the Regroupement de personnes expropriées de Forillon et leur descendance (Grande-Grave Heritage Accommodation Project - Forillon National Park (canada.ca)). The projects under the manager’s responsibility are varied in nature, encompassing infrastructure such as contemporary and heritage buildings, campsites, roads, bridges, and trails. Parks Canada is therefore looking for a project manager to take on this unique and stimulating professional challenge, in a context of conservation and presentation of the built and natural heritage of the Gaspésie.
