Venor is proud to partner with Sense Engineering in their search for a Project Manager to join their Halifax team.

Sense Engineering was founded on the desire to provide second-to-none client-centric engineering services. Always striving to cultivate deep and lasting relationships with our clients, we place a strong emphasis on trust and communication. Focused on restoration consulting, capital planning, structural engineering, energy and enclosure engineering services, we predominantly serve owners and managers of existing strata/condominium, multi-residential, commercial, industrial and hotel properties as well as architects, designers, contractors and developers across Canada.

This is an opportunity to join our firm in the early stages and help shape its growth. We started up 10 years ago; but, we are already at nearly 90 highly talented, committed, motivated, and client centric people in our offices across Canada.
