Your Impact

• Lead complex contaminated site assessments, including Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments, Detailed Site Investigations, and remediation strategies.

• Develop and refine conceptual site models, remediation options analyses, and long‑term monitoring strategies for industrial, mining, petroleum, and remote northern sites.
• Advise clients, regulators, Indigenous governments, and project partners on contaminated‑site regulatory pathways, risk‑based decision making, and site management frameworks.
• Design and direct advanced contaminated sites investigations and/or remediations in northern and remote environments.
• Prepare clear, data‑driven technical reports that support multimillion‑dollar infrastructure, remediation, and land development projects.
• Mentor, guide, and empower project teams to deliver best‑in‑class environmental and contaminated sites work.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver sustainable, climate‑resilient environmental solutions.

• CSAP (Contaminated Sites Approved Professional) designation preferred but not required – strong contaminated sites expertise and eligibility for future CSAP advancement are considered assets.
• Professional registration (P.Eng. or P.Geo.) or eligibility for registration in BC and/or Yukon.
• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Environmental, Geological, or Civil Engineering (or related discipline with environmental focus), Environmental Science, Geoscience, or related discipline.
• Significant experience (10‑15+ years) working in northern, remote, Indigenous, or industrial settings with complex multi‑media contamination issues, including a deep understanding and application of contaminated sites investigation methods and environmental legislation in BC.
• Strong capability in project management including financial and scope oversight, client‑facing interactions, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Leadership experience overseeing field programs, technical teams, regulatory submissions, and stakeholder engagement.
• A positive and enthusiastic can‑do attitude, and a willingness to both learn and share your knowledge.
• Self‑motivated, strong work ethic and ability to work with minimal supervision.
• Clean Driver’s Abstract and willingness to travel on occasion.
