  • Managing tasks and projects according to approved scopes of work, delivering quality reports on schedule and within budget.
  • Providing technical leadership and mentoring to junior and intermediate staff.
  • Interacting with clients, environmental regulators, and community stakeholders.
  • Contributing to proposal development, client presentations, and business growth initiatives.
  • Consistent demonstration and promotion of HSSE policies and procedures, including client-specific training where applicable.

Capabilities and Credentials

  • Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills, including technical information exchange with clients, engineers and scientists, government agencies, and the public.
  • Disciplined approach to project execution and a desire to grow in a challenging environment that fosters leadership, mentoring, and diverse experience.
  • Leadership in striving to continuously improve technical performance.
  • Education and Experience

  • Master’s or Doctorate degree in Geoscience, or Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum 10 years related experience.
  • Experience with GoldSim, R, and hydrological datasets (e.g., ERA5) would be an asset.
  • Mining experience and experience with incorporating climate change effects into hydrologic assessments.
  • Typical office environment with computer work; field work may involve exposure to the elements. This description is not a comprehensive listing of activities and duties and may change at any time.
