• Establish execution plans, governance, schedules and controls; manage forecasts, resources, risks and changes, and implement recovery plans when commitments are at risk.
• Champion safety, quality and ethics, ensuring appropriate technical reviews and regulatory input.
• Serve as the senior client contact; resolve issues with owners, contractors, regulators and internal teams, manage contractual and design/construction interfaces, and elevate material risks with mitigation plans.
• Partner with account, sector and pursuit leaders to develop opportunities and lead major proposals, including delivery strategies, scopes, staffing, fees and commercial modelling.
• Mentor project managers and task leaders in planning, commercial management and client communication.
• Coordinate reports and presentations; improve delivery through lessons learned, digital tools and streamlined workflows.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Proven accountability for complex, multidisciplinary environmental projects or programs spanning workstreams, offices and partners.
• Project experience in federal, defence, infrastructure, mining, power or remediation sectors; federal procurement, standing-offer and northern/remote experience are assets.
• Knowledge of environmental assessment, contaminated sites, remediation and applicable provincial and federal requirements; Ontario Regulations 153/04 and 406/19 knowledge is an asset.
• Strong client and stakeholder management skills, aligning expectations and delivery commitments.
• Clear written and verbal communication, translating technical and commercial issues into practical decisions for varied audiences.
• Collaborative leadership and commitment to coaching project managers and task leaders.
• Ability to direct senior specialists and project managers in a matrix organization, secure resources and integrate specialist advice into clear delivery frameworks.
• Demonstrated ownership of major-project scheduling, budgets, forecasts, contracts, risk and change control, including early corrective action to protect outcomes.
• Experience developing proposals, delivery strategies and fee estimates; major-bid commercial modelling is an asset.
• Sound judgement, initiative and practical problem-solving, with strong organization and adaptability.
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools; reporting automation and dashboard experience are assets.

Education and Experience

Relevant university degree in environmental science, engineering, geoscience, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 15 years of environmental experience, including substantial experience as the accountable lead for multidisciplinary projects or programs, with responsibility for integrated teams, overall budgets and schedules, commercial performance, and senior client relationships from initiation through closeout.

Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, a professional registration such as P.Geo. or P.Eng., and Qualified Person for Environmental Site Assessment (QPESA) status are assets where applicable. This position focuses on integrated project delivery rather than discipline-specific technical sign-off.
