The Opportunity

Your Impact Starts Here — Bring your advanced expertise in contaminated sites to some of the most technically demanding and meaningful environmental work in the country.

Your Impact

• Lead and direct Phase I, II, and III Environmental Site Assessments, ensuring high technical accuracy and risk‑based decision‑making.
• Develop and implement remediation strategies for contaminated soil, groundwater, permafrost‑affected environments, and remote sites.
• Oversee data interpretation, contaminant fate and transport analysis, conceptual site model development, and defensible technical conclusions.
• Prepare and review remediation action plans, site management plans, cost estimates, scopes, work plans, and regulatory submissions.
• Guide teams executing complex field programs in remote northern locations while ensuring strong safety culture and logistical planning.
• Provide senior technical review and sign‑off as a P.Eng. registered with (or eligible for) NAPEG.
• Build trusted relationships with Indigenous communities, regulators, and northern clients, ensuring culturally respectful and sustainable project outcomes.
• Champion innovation in remediation technologies, climate‑resilient solutions, and long‑term site stewardship.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• You have deep, hands‑on expertise in contaminated sites assessment and remediation, built over 8+ years of project delivery in northern and remote environments.
• You have advanced experience conducting and leading Phase I–III ESAs, contaminant characterization, and risk‑informed remedial decision‑making.
• You understand northern regulatory frameworks, remote logistics, and permafrost‑related challenges that influence site assessment and cleanup strategies.
• You are proficient in contaminated sites tools and methodologies, including conceptual site models, risk assessment interfaces, remediation technology selection, and data quality evaluation.
• You hold (or are eligible for) NAPEG P.Eng. registration and are comfortable providing senior technical oversight and professional sign‑off.
• You thrive in field and office environments, balancing detailed technical work with leadership, mentorship, and informed decision‑making under northern project constraints.
• You care about work that protects communities, land, water, and future generations.
