What You'll Do
As Project Manager - Off Grid, you will lead the execution of a complex, off-grid development project on a remote island near Vancouver. You'll manage everything from logistics and vendor coordination to budget tracking and onsite execution. This project includes multiple all-season yurts, an A-frame lodge, custom infrastructure (solar/generator, septic, heli-pad), and trail/utility installation. You'll report to the VP of Land Development and be supported by a field superintendent already based on site.
You'll operate in a high-urgency, design-build environment, where timelines are compressed and expectations are elevated - especially when working with ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) and their advisors.
