Technical Project Manager

About the role

Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with design centres in Kitchener‑Waterloo and San Jose. The Project Manager plays a key role in planning, coordinating, and delivering complex development projects for Fidus clients, from initial scope through to final delivery.
