Take on a new challenge and leverage your expertise in project management and planning within a cutting-edge technology sector. We are looking for Project Planners to join the Planning team based in Saint-Bruno, where you will play a key role in the success of our projects. Your future role

As a Project Planner, you play a central role in managing project timelines and performance. Your expertise in planning, analyzing, and managing complex schedules ensures that projects are delivered according to technical, contractual, and organizational requirements.

You develop, consolidate, and maintain reliable reference schedules, identify critical paths, and analyze the impacts of risks and changes. Your ability to structure information, challenge assumptions, and anticipate deviations enables you to propose concrete action plans to optimize timelines and facilitate decision-making.

In daily interaction with project teams — including engineering, project management, procurement, partners, and suppliers — you ensure coordination and communication, guaranteeing stakeholder alignment and the quality of scheduling data.

You contribute to project progress tracking through key performance indicators (KPIs), earned value, and performance analyses, while supporting contractual timeline-related issues.

This full-time (40 hours/week) permanent position based at our St-Bruno site on the South Shore of Montreal requires the ability to work in an international, multisite, and matrix organization. The work environment is hybrid, with three days on-site and two days of remote work per week.

Your responsibilities

In interface with project teams, subsystem managers, and external actors, your main missions are as follows:

• Develop, structure, and maintain project schedules in accordance with the timeline management plan and internal references.
• Ensure regular updates of schedules based on field progress data and contributions from project actors.
• Collect, consolidate, and validate progress data (physical and calendar).
• Contribute to the analysis of schedule deviations (delays, drifts, critical impacts) and the identification of associated risks.
• Prepare and produce planning reports and performance indicators in accordance with project requirements.
• Actively participate in periodic schedule reviews and project steering instances.
• Ensure tracking of deviations and proactively alert the core project teams.

Your profile

• Advanced education (engineer or equivalent university degree).
• Experience in project planning, ideally in an industrial environment (engineering, construction, transportation, energy, etc.).
• Proficiency in planning tools (e.g., Primavera P6, MS Project, or equivalent).
• Good proficiency in office tools, particularly Excel (data analysis).
• Knowledge of project management principles and planning methods.
• Analytical skills, rigor, and strong sensitivity to timeline issues.
• Ability to thrive in multi-actor and multicultural environments.

Environment and challenges of the position

• Direct contribution to fulfilling contractual commitments regarding timelines.
• Transverse position, at the heart of interactions between technical disciplines and project management.
• Participation in highly complex technical and organizational projects.
• The railway sector is a sector of the future

You can therefore develop and acquire new skills and experiences throughout your career.

You will also:

• Benefit from stability, challenges, and a long-term career without daily routine.
• Work with multicultural teams and passionate experts.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and qualified colleagues.
• Contribute to innovative projects.
• Utilize our flexible and inclusive work environment.
• Direct your career in the direction of your choice through functions and countries.
• Benefit from our investment in your development through award-winning learning programs.
• Progress towards leadership or technical expertise roles, according to your aspirations.
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic compensation system that recognizes your performance and potential, as well as comprehensive and competitive social benefits (life insurance, health insurance, pension).
• Bilingualism

Proficiency in both French and English is required.

In Quebec, French remains the primary working language of our company.

Not only train enthusiasts thrive here. You will certainly feel much pride when you board one of our trains with your family or friends. If you enjoy the challenge, we would be delighted to exchange with you!
