Departmental Director – Urban Infrastructure (Partner), up to $180,000 — Laval (hybrid)

The mandate

On behalf of a well-established consulting-engineering firm, Larouche Raymond is seeking a seasoned leader ready to take full ownership of an urban infrastructure department — water mains, sewers, roadways, stormwater management and municipal works. This is a partner role: beyond technical excellence, you will help shape the firm’s direction, business development and profitability. A rare opportunity to combine municipal engineering expertise, team leadership and an entrepreneurial mindset.

The role day to day

• Lead all activities of the urban infrastructure department: planning, budgets, profitability and growth targets.
• Mentor and mobilize a multidisciplinary team of engineers, technicians and project managers, and build its succession pipeline.
• Oversee the design and delivery of municipal projects (water and sewer networks, roadways, stormwater management, infrastructure rehabilitation).
• Act as senior signatory and guarantor of quality, compliance and adherence to standards (BNQ, MELCCFP, municipal specifications).
• Develop and maintain business relationships with municipalities, RCMs and institutional clients.
• Contribute, as a partner, to strategic decisions, financial planning and the firm’s competitive positioning.
• Drive major tenders, from go-to-market strategy through to mandate negotiation.
• Establish engineering, project-management and risk-management best practices across the department.

The ideal profile

• Minimum 15 years of experience in municipal engineering or urban infrastructure, several of them in management.
• Engineer in good standing with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ), with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering; complementary management training (MBA, PMP) is an asset.
• Demonstrated experience leading a team, department or profit centre.
• Strong network among municipalities and public-sector clients across Greater Montreal.
• Command of municipal standards and specifications and of Quebec’s environmental regulatory framework.
• Unifying leadership, business acumen and long-term strategic vision.
• Genuine interest in a partner role and shared ownership responsibilities.

What our client offers

• Partner status with profit sharing and a path to equity ownership.
• Hybrid work model offering flexibility and work-life balance.
• Comprehensive benefits package (insurance, group RRSP, paid leave).
• A portfolio of large-scale projects and a solid, well-regarded technical team.
• Real autonomy and direct influence over the firm’s direction.
