Director – Engineering and business development

Maestro Mobilité is a firm specialized in mobility, traffic management, and road safety, supporting owners, contractors, and engineering firms in delivering infrastructure projects across Quebec.

The firm works on complex projects where planning, reading the field, and command of execution sequences are essential. Its approach rests on methodological discipline, technical rigour, and preventing issues rather than managing them after the fact.

In a context where the quality of preparation directly shapes whether a job site succeeds, Maestro Mobilité favours structured execution and a fine-grained understanding of field operations.

By joining Maestro Mobilité in this strategic role, you will play a decisive part in the firm's growth, the reach of its expertise, and the quality of its deliverables. You will work in an agile organization that values autonomy, technical excellence, and the concrete impact of each of its leaders.

Projects are delivered for ministries, municipalities, transit agencies, consulting-engineering firms, and contractors across Quebec.

As Director of Engineering and Business Development, you will hold a strategic role within Maestro Mobilité. Your mandate will focus primarily on business development, growing the client portfolio, and positioning the firm in Quebec's mobility and infrastructure market. In parallel, you will provide technical and organizational oversight of the engineering team according to project needs.

We are looking for an experienced leader with a solid network in Quebec's infrastructure community, a clear strategic vision, and a proven ability to create value for clients while mobilizing teams toward excellence.
