Transportation infrastructure contractor across Western Canada
Colas Western Canada operates a regional construction and maintenance business covering materials, design, and project delivery across roads, highways, airports, and urban infrastructure. The tech stack skews toward legacy enterprise systems (Primavera P6, SAP, JD Edwards) typical of mid-market construction, with recent adoption initiatives in project controls and cost coding — suggesting internal pressure to standardize processes across their five operating divisions. Construction hiring (25 of 39 open roles) outpaces engineering (2 roles), reflecting a field-execution-led organization rather than a technology-first one.
