Where Strategy Meets Field Leadership.

Are you an experienced environmental professional ready to bridge the gap between technical excellence and on-the-ground field execution? GCL Environmental Ltd. is seeking a multi-talented senior lead to join our team in a hybrid role that blends technical mentorship with site supervision.

This is a unique opportunity to shape fieldwork strategy, elevate technical quality, and foster a collaborative environment where regulatory standards and operational efficiency work hand in hand.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Provide oversight and mentorship to field teams and report writers to ensure regulatory compliance, technical integrity, and field readiness.
• Lead project planning, field execution, and reporting workflows—especially for complex, high-profile, or regulatory-sensitive sites.
• Coordinate logistics, delegate work plans, and ensure safe and efficient delivery of services across project teams.
• Support QA/QC of reporting deliverables and provide senior review before client submission.
• Engage with clients and internal stakeholders to manage expectations, resolve challenges, and align deliverables with client objectives.
• Implement safety protocols and proactively manage escalations or field-level incidents.
• Drive continuous improvement through coaching, training, and the integration of tools, templates, and SOP updates.
• Travel occasionally to site locations to conduct supervision, mentorship, or inspections as needed.

Why Join GCL?

• Gain the opportunity to lead complex, high-impact environmental projects while guiding cross-functional teams toward technical excellence.
• Be part of a collaborative and experienced team that values mentorship, innovation, and accountability.
• Enjoy the flexibility of a trust-based, hybrid work environment that supports autonomy, balance, and senior leadership growth.
• Play a key role in shaping project delivery, refining internal systems, and driving quality assurance across field and reporting workflows.
• Join a purpose-driven organization committed to restoring Western Canada’s landscapes and delivering sustainable, client-focused solutions.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of experience in environmental consulting, with a mix of fieldwork, technical reporting, and client-facing leadership.
• Strong background in environmental site assessments (Phase I and II), remediation, or reclamation.
• Proven ability to lead teams, mentor staff, and manage field logistics under tight timelines and complex conditions.
• Skilled in QA/QC, regulatory compliance, and senior review of technical deliverables.
• Exceptional communication and coordination skills—comfortable working across departments and with diverse stakeholders.
• Field-ready mindset with a strong understanding of Alberta OHS regulations and client-specific protocols.
• Capable of maintaining calm under pressure and navigating challenging site conditions or client escalations.
