The role will require travel to the Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador area.

At GEMTEC, we offer something different. Were an employee-owned, 400-person multidisciplinary consulting firmnot too big, not too small.

  • Developing and overseeing comprehensive aquatic surveys designed to meet provincial and federal requirements.
  • Leading and coordinating aquatic field surveys including fish and mussel species and population level inventories, benthic invertebrates, water and sediment sampling, and habitat mapping.
  • Overseeing site characterization from an aquatic biology perspective and contributing to multidisciplinary discussions.
  • Undertaking necessary consultation / engagement with clients, regulators, sub-contractors, etc.
  • Contributing to project planning efforts in regard to bathymetry, substrate profiling, and aquatic-terrestrial impact assessments.
  • Guiding development of aquatic compensation strategies and site-level ecological enhancements.
  • Supervising and mentoring junior biologists in field techniques, data collection, and QA / QC procedures.
  • Preparing and reviewing aquatic baseline investigations, aquatic impact assessments, contribute to larger environmental assessments and other required regulatory submissions.
  • Maintaining a high standard of health, safety, and environmental compliance in all project activities.
  • Consulting and incorporating indigenous community stakeholders in program development, fieldwork, data analysis, logistics, etc.
  • Other duties as required, depending on project needs
  • Educational & Experience Requirements :

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in biology, ecology, environmental science, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in aquatic biology, with a strong focus on program development, fieldwork, technical reporting and permitting.
  • Demonstrated experience leading aquatic assessments involving fish (freshwater), mussels, water quality, and habitat evaluations.
  • Familiarity with environmental regulations and permitting processes (e.g., federal / provincial EA requirements, DFO, SAR, etc.).
  • Experience in compensation planning considered an asset.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills; capable of preparing technical reports and engaging with stakeholders.
  • Experience leading and coordinating a team of biologists to undertake field surveys, data management and technical writing.
  • Experience with community statistical software is considered an asset.
  • The good stuff you get :

  • Fair pay plus extra : competitive salary with year-end profit-sharing bonus.
  • Complete health & dental coverage including vision, paramedical services, EFAP, Teladoc, and more!
