Field Project Manager / Field Operations Supervisor
Evergreen Environmental & Reclamation Ltd. is seeking a field-ready Project Manager who can plan, lead, supervise, document, estimate, budget, and execute project-based work across a range of environmental, reclamation, vegetation management, and construction-support scopes.
This is not a purely office-based project management role. The successful candidate will be comfortable owning projects from planning through completion while also being capable of leading crews in the field, solving problems on site, completing documentation, coordinating resources, tracking costs, and stepping into the work when required.
We are looking for an adaptable, practical, safety-minded leader who can manage one or multiple crews, communicate clearly with clients and workers, and help ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and to Evergreen standards.
Position Summary
The Field Project Manager / Field Operations Supervisor will be responsible for planning, coordinating, supervising, and executing assigned projects. This includes reviewing scopes of work, organizing labour and equipment, identifying hazards, completing site inspections, supporting safety documentation, managing daily field activities, communicating with clients and internal teams, monitoring budgets and project costs, and ensuring projects are completed safely and professionally.
This role is ideal for someone with strong field experience who has grown into supervision, safety, planning, estimating, cost tracking, and project ownership — or someone already working as a supervisor, foreperson, lead hand, field coordinator, or junior project manager who wants to take on more responsibility.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and coordinate assigned projects from startup through completion.
- Lead, supervise, and support field crews on one or multiple active work sites.
- Review project scopes, drawings, client requirements, safety requirements, access constraints, and project-specific risks.
- Complete or support pre-job planning, field-level hazard assessments, site inspections, tailgate meetings, and daily reporting.
- Identify hazards, assess risk, implement controls, and stop or adjust work when conditions change.
- Ensure workers understand the task, hazards, controls, emergency procedures, and expectations before work begins.
- Coordinate labour, equipment, materials, subcontractors, traffic control, deliveries, and site logistics.
- Build, support, and manage project budgets.
- Track actual project costs against estimates, budgets, and expected production.
- Monitor labour, equipment, subcontractor, material, trucking, and project-related costs.
- Identify additional work opportunities, scope changes, extras, and potential change orders.
- Communicate with clients, prime contractors, consultants, inspectors, subcontractors, and Evergreen management.
- Monitor production, quality, safety, environmental controls, and project progress.
- Support incident reporting, near-miss reporting, investigations, corrective actions, and follow-up.
- Ensure required documentation is completed accurately and submitted on time.
- Lead by example in the field and assist with hands-on work when required.
- Help maintain a professional, organized, accountable, and safety-focused work environment.
Required Experience and Skills
- Strong field experience in environmental work, civil construction, vegetation management, reclamation, utilities, forestry, landscaping, erosion control, or a related field.
- Experience leading crews, supervising workers, or coordinating field operations.
- Strong understanding of workplace safety, hazard identification, risk assessment, inspections, and safe work planning.
- Ability to read and understand scopes of work, site instructions, maps, drawings, work plans, or project documents.
- Strong communication skills with workers, clients, subcontractors, and management.
- Ability to document work clearly using digital forms, reports, photos, and project records.
- Ability to make practical decisions in changing field conditions.
- Ability to track project progress, costs, production, and resource use.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Word, Excel, and related project/documentation tools.
- Valid driver’s licence and ability to travel between project sites.
- Willingness to work outdoors in changing weather and site conditions.
- Willingness to work out of town for short periods when required. LOA will be provided for approved out-of-town work.
Preferred Qualifications
- First Aid certification.
- WHMIS.
- Ground Disturbance.
- Fall Protection.
- Leadership or supervisor safety training.
- Experience with SiteDocs or similar digital safety/documentation platforms.
- Experience with project estimating, budgeting, cost tracking, or production tracking.
- Experience reviewing estimates, purchase costs, subcontractor costs, labour costs, equipment costs, and project margins.
- Experience identifying extras, additional work, scope changes, and change order opportunities.
- Strong PDF editing and document markup skills.
- Experience with CAD, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS, or similar drawing/takeoff software is considered an asset.
- Equipment, trailer, or truck experience.
- Experience operating mobile equipment, power tools, and machinery.
- Experience with environmental controls, erosion and sediment control, hydroseeding, planting, vegetation clearing, reclamation, or civil site support.
- Incident investigation or safety inspection experience.
- Experience working around prime contractors, utilities, roadwork, public interfaces, or major construction projects.
Bonus Asset: Project Estimating & Cost Control
- Project estimating experience is considered a strong asset for this role. The ideal candidate does not need to be a full-time estimator, but should be capable of understanding how field decisions affect cost, production, schedule, and project profitability.
- Relevant experience may include reviewing scopes, assisting with takeoffs, building or supporting project budgets, tracking actual costs against estimates, monitoring labour and equipment usage, reviewing subcontractor and material costs, identifying additional work, and supporting change order documentation.
- Strong computer skills are also an asset, including Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, PDF editing, digital forms, photo documentation, and drawing review software. CAD, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS, or similar software experience is beneficial but not required.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a field-first leader who can think ahead, stay calm under pressure, and keep crews moving safely and productively. You do not need to be a suit-and-tie project manager, but you do need to be organized, accountable, safety-minded, cost-aware, and capable of managing both people and paperwork.
You should be comfortable switching between planning, supervising, documenting, communicating, estimating, tracking costs, and working in the field when needed. This role requires someone who takes ownership, leads by example, and understands that good project execution starts with good preparation, strong field leadership, and clear control of scope, schedule, safety, quality, and cost.
Work Conditions
- Field-based role with some office, yard, vehicle, and documentation time.
- Work may occur across the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and other project locations in British Columbia.
- Short out-of-town assignments may be required, with LOA provided where applicable.
- Work may involve outdoor conditions, active construction sites, uneven terrain, equipment, traffic/public interface, and changing project demands.
- Schedule may vary depending on project requirements, weather, client needs, and seasonal workload.
Pay: $130,000.00-$150,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
