• Support municipal and private-sector clients with waste management planning, environmental compliance, approvals, and related technical assignments.
• Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, invoicing, resources, subcontractors, and overall financial performance.
• Coordinate and review the work of multidisciplinary project teams to ensure deliverables are technically sound, practical, and completed on schedule.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships and contribute to proposals, client development, and growth of Cambium’s waste and environmental services.
• Mentor and support junior staff and promote Cambium’s quality and health and safety expectations.
• Attend project sites and client, municipal, and regulatory meetings as required.
