Overview:
Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division is looking for a Project Manager to join our Applied Research team. This role supports the technical team by focusing on the non-technical details of Innovation activities.

Working in a world class research organization, reporting to the Intellectual Property Protection Manager, you will report the regular Innovation metrics, coordinate resources (people and things), facilitate meetings with small teams of cross-functional contributors, gather technical reporting, and document results and processes to ensure smooth technology transitions from Innovation into production. You like working with new ideas, and new concepts, in a casual yet professional environment. You are comfortable with the uncertainty that newness brings as well, aiming to manage that uncertainty rather than eliminate it completely. Because in Applied Research, we cannot eliminate the uncertainty for you. Uncertainty is the reason Applied Research exists at A&P.

Come experience one of Alberta's Top 75 Employers (since 2020)!

This position is with Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division, a global technology leader, pioneering end-to-end solutions industry leaders rely on for assured positioning and autonomy on land, sea and air. Our work touches every aspect of life, from sustainability on Earth to enabling autonomy.
