• Source and obtain the fleet of field instrumentation and equipment for the business.
• Maintain and refine as required field protocols for health and safety, data collection and sampling, instrumentation and technology use, and QA/QC.
• Take charge of technical reports, proposals, and other key client deliverables.

• 5+ years of experience in Environmental Field Operations.
• Strong knowledge of federal and provincial environmental regulations.
• Experience with stakeholder engagement and permitting processes.
• Strong project management skills, including the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously as well as all aspects of project development and delivery (i.e., proposal through to deliverables, including time and budget management).
• Valid Ontario driver’s licence is required.
