• Sufficient technical depth in one or more environmental disciplines to author and critically review EA content, including interpreting technical inputs and translating them into defensible regulatory documentation.
• Time management skills, with the ability to simultaneously work on multiple tasks and projects and meet project deadlines.
• Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation (e.g., Statistics Canada datasets).
• Familiarity with Indigenous consultation and socio‑economic considerations.
• Strong technical writing skills, including the ability to write clearly and respectfully about socio‑economic perspectives.
