Make an Impact That Reaches the Skies

At Coulson Aviation, we don’t just fight fires—we protect lives, forests, and entire communities across the globe. From North America to Australia and South America, our fleet of large fixed-wing and rotary aircraft delivers rapid aerial fire suppression when it matters most.

As part of the Coulson Group of Companies, a family‑owned organization with over 65 years of innovation, we’re expanding fast—and we’re looking for a strategic, hands‑on General Counsel to help guide and support our continued growth. This position is in Port Alberni, BC.

Why You’ll Want to Be Here

  • Competitive compensation based on experience.
  • Inclusive, respectful culture that values diversity.
  • Comprehensive health & retirement benefits.
  • Matching pension plan to support your future.
  • A fast‑paced, rewarding environment where your work truly matters.

What You Bring

  • Bachelors or Professional Degree in Law.
  • 5-10 years of broad legal experience
  • Experience working with multi‑jurisdictional operations or regulated industries
  • Member in good standing with a recognized Law Society/Bar
  • Strong background in corporate/commercial law; experience in employment law and regulatory compliance is an asset.

What You’ll Do

Legal Advisory & Risk Management

  • Provide timely legal advice to leadership and management on a broad range of corporate, commercial, employment, and operational matters.
  • Identify potential legal risks and recommend proactive mitigation strategies.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts, agreements, MOUs, and other legal documents as needed.

Corporate Compliance

  • Maintain compliance with federal, provincial/state, and international legislation applicable to the company when working though the assigned tasks you have been given.
  • Manage corporate governance obligations, including resolutions, corporate filings, and maintenance of corporate records.
  • Interpret laws, rulings and regulations for employees and Coulson Group of Companies in the industries and countries in which we operate.

Employment & HR Support

  • Provide legal guidance on employment‑related matters, including hiring, contracts, terminations, workplace investigations, accommodation, and regulatory compliance questions or considerations that may arise.
  • Provide content insight to HR for drafting and reviewing workplace policies, disciplinary documentation, and compliance initiatives.
  • Advise on concerns or needed responses in relation to employee relations issues related to employment standards, and practices across applicable jurisdictions.

Litigation & External Counsel Coordination

  • Manage and oversee external counsel where litigation or specialized legal support is required.
  • Support dispute resolution strategies, including negotiation, arbitration, or mediation.
  • Support any in person company court obligations as needed.

We are committed to providing accommodation for people with disabilities. If you require accommodation through any element of the job application process, please notify us and we will work with you to meet your needs.
