Description
The Building Great Neighbourhoods Branch and the Neighbourhood Renewal Program are the building blocks of a great city, and invest in reconstructing neighbourhoods to enhance their livability and longevity. The mandate of the Branch is to provide a fully integrated and holistic approach to planning, designing and delivery of roads, street lighting, open spaces, and other neighbourhood amenities.

This is a great opportunity to shape the face of Edmonton one neighbourhood at a time!
The Engineering Project Manager role in Neighbourhoods Planning and Design is your opportunity to apply your project management skills, technical knowledge and leadership ability to an exciting program of mature residential neighbourhoods projects that directly enhance the lives of Edmontonians.
