Job Summary:

CSA Group has an immediate opportunity for a Project Manager who will be responsible for facilitating the development of standards related to environment and climate change. This includes standards for a diverse collection of subjects including climate change mitigation and adaptation, recycling and resource recovery, circularity, ESG and SDGs, and decarbonization.

This position requires managing the many members of standards development committees, as well as their Chairs and Vice-Chairs, which can be very demanding, as they are all volunteers, with no formal reporting relationship to CSA Group. This volunteer membership includes industry executives, academia, and senior government officials. The role requires a capacity to engage and manage a diverse community of professionals and interested parties, the ability to manage conflict, and develop consensus. In addition to working with committees and stakeholders, the ideal candidate will apply their sector knowledge, and identify potential areas for new standard-based solutions.

  5. Liaising with internal and external partners including clients, management, legal, and finance to obtain project buy-in and approvals.
  6. Identifying research topics and participating in research projects to help generate knowledge to inform standards and advance the program strategy.
  7. Developing proposals and contracts, and conducting financial analyses for new projects.
  8. Identifying, developing, securing, and driving new business opportunities within or related to environment and climate change (e.g. identify new standards requirements or training and education potential, and develop proposals).
  9. Committee management and leadership, including establishing the scope of work to be completed, managing required resources, and providing ongoing project management leadership in conjunction with the Chair and Vice-Chair. This includes managing the development of technical content, technical writing, and working with members to prepare high-quality documents.
  10. Does not require mentor; fully independent committee leadership and escalates as needed. Supports and promotes best practices.
  11. Ensures appropriate coordination takes place with other departments within the company that are involved with the development and publication of a standard or other business opportunities (i.e. legal, marketing, commercial).
Preferred Education and Experience:

Technologist or Bachelor’s degree (Ex. CET, BSc or B.Eng).

A minimum of 5 years’ experience in an environment related field (e.g. Circular Economy, GHG Management, Climate Change, Business or Environmental Management Systems, Sustainability).
