The Opportunity

Build the future with us - You'll join our Occupational Hygiene and Safety team, working closely with industrial occupational hygienists, hazardous materials specialists, professionals, and technologists.

Your Impact

  • Make routine and non-routine decisions with guidance from your Project Manager.
  • Support projects by preparing and calibrating sampling equipment and identifying site issues with recommended corrective actions.

  • Liaise with clients to ensure health, safety, and hygiene needs are met.
  • Participate in WSP's Health, Safety, and Quality program and ongoing technical training.
  • Accommodate client schedules, including potential evening, overnight, and weekend work.

The Skills That Set You Apart
  • Secondary Education is an asset and may include Occupational Hygiene Technician certificate (ROHT, CRST, etc.), diploma (Environmental Technology, Civil Engineering), technical/trade education, or B.Sc.
  • Eligibility for professional membership is an asset (i.e., CRSP, CIH, ROH).
  • Experience in occupational hygiene or hazardous materials (asbestos, lead, silica, etc.) is an asset.
  • Experience with abatement contractors is beneficial but not required.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication; proficiency with MS Office.
  • Valid Class 5 driver's license, unrestricted, with reliable insured vehicle.
  • Ability to wear required PPE (respiratory protection, hard hat, hi-vis, FR coveralls, boots, glasses).
  • Adaptable, eager to expand your skills, and comfortable managing a busy workload.
  • Team-oriented, enthusiastic, and ready to take on responsibility.
  • Motivated to grow within a leading global environmental consulting firm.
