The role requires a sound understanding and execution of the various processes and procedures of the company, many of which are mandated under the accreditation of CSA Standards by both the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). A key element of the Project Manager role is to ensure that these processes and procedures are adhered to, and that the timelines of the project are achieved within the defined budget.
