The Opportunity

For 65 years, we have been dedicated to connecting British Columbia’s coastal communities and providing safe and efficient travel to our customers. As we continue to invest in our fleet and infrastructure, the Fleet Project Management Office (FPMO) plays a critical role in ensuring our vessels are safe, reliable, and continually improved to meet future needs. We are seeking a Project Coordinator to join our dynamic and collaborative team.

As a Project Coordinator, you lead low complexity vessel projects from start to finish—planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. These projects may include vessel refits, dry-dockings, capital upgrades, conversions, or repairs. You work under the guidance of a Senior Project Manager and support more complex vessel projects by assisting Project Managers ensuring the Project Team delivers the defined project scope and deliverables within budget, on schedule, at the required level of quality, and within the acceptable level of health, safety, security and environmental risk.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who is early in their project management career and wants to grow within a structured, high-impact organization while being involved in meaningful, hands-on project work.
