Location: Calgary or Edmonton

Duration: 1 year

Work Model: Hybrid (Mon, Tues, Thurs in office / Weds, Fri from home)

Travel: Occasional site travel. Must be eligible to travel to USA.

The Program Manager IV - Portfolio Execution & Integration is responsible for ensuring the successful, coordinated execution of a large, complex portfolio of projects across the LP Mainline Program. This role bridges the gap between project-level schedules and portfolio-level reporting by actively identifying, managing, and resolving interdependencies across projects, contractors, procurement activities, and outage windows.

Unlike traditional scheduling roles, this position is highly proactive and outward facing. It requires strong leadership, confidence, and the ability to influence across teams without direct authority. The Program Manager IV ensures that execution plans are realistic, aligned, and achievable, enabling the organization to move from reporting performance to actively controlling outcomes.

This role reports to the Project Controls Supervisor and works closely with Project Managers, Project Schedulers, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Construction, and contractor partners.
