The Opportunity

Build the Future with Us

Communities across Ontario depend on resilient water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure to support growth, protect the environment, and improve quality of life.

This role offers the flexibility of a hybrid work environment from any WSP office in Ontario.

Your Impact
  • Lead environmental assessments and approval processes for complex water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects.
  • Deliver Municipal Class Environmental Assessments, including Master Plans and Schedule 'B' and 'C' projects, that support community growth and infrastructure renewal.
  • Direct multidisciplinary project teams to successfully complete technical studies, impact assessments, and regulatory submissions.
  • Design and implement engagement programs with Indigenous Nations, regulatory agencies, community members, and stakeholders.
  • Provide strategic guidance to clients on environmental planning, permitting, infrastructure servicing strategies, and feasibility studies.
  • Strengthen client relationships, identify emerging opportunities, and contribute to successful business development and proposal efforts.
  • Mentor and support team members through technical leadership, coaching, and professional development.
  • Champion health, safety, sustainability, and quality excellence throughout project delivery.

The Skills That Set You Apart
  • Degree in Environmental Studies, Environmental Science, Planning, or a related discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience leading environmental assessments and approvals for water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects.
  • Demonstrated success delivering Municipal Class EAs, including Master Plans and Schedule 'B' and 'C' projects.
  • Strong knowledge of applicable legislation, including the Environmental Assessment Act, Endangered Species Act, Ontario Heritage Act, and related regulatory frameworks.
  • Proven experience engaging Indigenous Nations, stakeholders, regulators, and the public using both traditional and digital engagement approaches.
  • Strong project management capabilities with experience leading medium to large multidisciplinary teams.
  • Established business development experience, including client relationship management, proposal preparation, and opportunity identification.
  • Professional designations such as RPP (OPPI), EP (ECO Canada), PMP (PMI), or equivalent are considered an asset.
