Job Title

Location: Sherwood Park, AB (with travel to project sites as required) About MSCP MSCP Heat Management Solutions operates as a system of interdependent nodes , not a traditional hierarchy. Estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution are connected through the shared objective of maintaining flow and delivering reliable outcomes. The organization is guided by systems thinking and Theory of Constraints , where performance is measured by the ability to manage constraints, synchronize functions, and improve throughput across the system . Projects are not managed in isolation. They are vehicles through which work flows , and their success depends on how well they move through the entire system, not just how well they are executed locally. Role Overview The Project Director is responsible for ensuring that projects move effectively through the MSCP system . This role does not exist to oversee individual projects from a distance. It exists to manage flow across multiple projects , align functions, and remove constraints that limit system performance. The Project Director operates across estimating, engineering, manufacturing, and field execution, ensuring that priorities, resources, and decisions support overall system throughput rather than isolated project success . Success in this role is measured by: Stability and predictability of project flow Reduction of systemic bottlenecks and delays Improved coordination across functions Development and elevation of Project Managers Growth of repeatable, long-term client work Key Responsibilities System Flow Ownership Maintain visibility across all active and upcoming projects Ensure work flows smoothly across estimating, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field execution Identify disruptions to flow and act to restore alignment Prioritize work based on system capacity rather than individual project pressure Constraint Management Identify the current system constraint and adjust focus accordingly Reallocate resources and adjust priorities to support throughput Prevent local optimization that negatively impacts overall system performance Escalate and resolve constraints that cannot be addressed at the Project Manager level Coach and support Project Managers in adopting a system-based approach Shift PM focus from task execution to coordination, communication, and client development Provide guidance on prioritization, decision-making, and stakeholder management Standardize practices where appropriate to improve consistency and flow Cross-Functional Integration Ensure alignment between engineering output and field execution requirements Support integration between manufacturing capabilities and project demand Align procurement with actual system needs and project timing Facilitate communication and coordination across nodes to reduce friction Client & Strategic Alignment Maintain and develop senior-level client relationships Align project commitments with actual system capacity and capability Identify opportunities for repeatable work and long-term partnerships Ensure client expectations are consistent with MSCPs operating model Performance & Continuous Improvement Monitor project and system performance to identify trends and recurring issues Contribute to the development of processes, standards, and system improvements Support the ongoing evolution of MSCPs operating model using Theory of Constraints principles Drive improvements that increase reliability, predictability, and throughput Qualifications & Experience 10+ years of experience in industrial, construction, or project-based environments Experience managing multiple projects or programs simultaneously Strong understanding of project execution, including engineering, procurement, and field operations Demonstrated ability to lead across functions rather than within a single discipline Experience developing teams and mentoring Project Managers Familiarity with systems thinking or Theory of Constraints is an asset What Sets You Apart You think in terms of systems, not individual projects You naturally identify bottlenecks and focus effort where it matters most You are comfortable making decisions that benefit the whole, not just one part You lead through alignment and clarity rather than control You are able to balance client needs with internal capability High level of interaction across all functional areas of the business Combination of office, field, and client-facing engagement Involvement in both operational and strategic discussions Why Join MSCP Play a central role in shaping how projects flow through a growing organization Work within a system focused on throughput, not hierarchy Influence the development of people, processes, and long-term client relationships Be part of building a scalable, system-driven organization #J-18808-Ljbffr
