• Develop and implement remediation strategies for contaminated soil, groundwater, permafrost-affected environments, and remote sites.
• Oversee data interpretation, contaminant fate and transport analysis, conceptual site model development, and defensible technical conclusions.
• Prepare and review remediation action plans, site management plans, cost estimates, scopes, work plans, and regulatory submissions.
• Guide teams executing complex field programs in remote northern locations while ensuring strong safety culture and logistical planning.
• Build trusted relationships with Indigenous communities, regulators, and northern clients, ensuring culturally respectful and sustainable project outcomes.
• Champion innovation in remediation technologies, climate-resilient solutions, and long-term site stewardship.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• You have deep, hands-on expertise in contaminated sites assessment and remediation, built over 8+ years of project delivery in northern and remote environments.
• You have advanced experience conducting and leading Phase I-III ESAs, contaminant characterization, and risk-informed remedial decision-making.
• You understand northern regulatory frameworks, remote logistics, and permafrost-related challenges that influence site assessment and cleanup strategies.
• You are proficient in contaminated sites tools and methodologies, including conceptual site models, risk assessment interfaces, remediation technology selection, and data quality evaluation.
• Professional designation (P.Eng.) preferred, or equivalent experience.
• You thrive in field and office environments, balancing detailed technical work with leadership, mentorship, and informed decision-making under northern project constraints.
• You care about work that protects communities, land, water, and future generations.
