Construction Technologist — Government of Alberta, Peace River Full Time

Construction Technologist — Government of Alberta, Peace River

Highways do not build themselves, and in northern Alberta someone has to make sure every kilometre is planned, inspected and delivered properly. That someone could be you: the Government of Alberta is hiring a Construction Technologist for its Transportation and Economic Corridors ministry, a permanent, full-time role based in Peace River, working on highway and geotechnical projects across the Peace Region.

Quick job overview

Questions job seekers ask about this role

What would I actually do day to day? Reporting to the Construction Manager, you help review the design and tenders of highway and geotechnical projects, assist with planning and programming, administer consultant engineering agreements, and monitor consultants and contractors through regular inspections so work meets safety and quality specifications. You also review weekly reports, progress estimates and monthly expenditure reports, recommend corrective actions, and conduct weekly site inspections.

What kind of projects are these? Construction and rehabilitation projects in the department’s 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and 20-year programs, plus the Peace Region’s geotechnical program — planning studies, functional plans, geometric assessments, pavement preservation and surfacing strategies, lighting and safety assessments, and the terms of reference for consultant proposals.

What qualifications do I need? A related technical diploma (for example Engineering) supplemented by at least six years of related experience, and a valid Alberta Class 5 driver’s licence. Membership with the Association of Science and Engineering Technology (ASET), construction or geotechnical engineering experience, and knowledge of highway planning, design, construction specifications and processes are assets. Directly related education or experience is considered on a one-year-for-one-year equivalency basis.

What does it pay? The employer-stated salary is $2,944.12 to $3,865.92 bi-weekly, which works out to $76,841 to $100,900 a year, for a permanent, full-time role at 36.25 hours per week. Benefits and relocation support are not specified in the posting, so nothing is claimed here beyond the salary and the permanent, full-time terms above.

When does it close? The official posting states 24 November 2027. That date is reproduced exactly as the employer published it; if it looks unusual, check the official posting before applying, since JobsRivo does not alter employer facts.
