Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Grand River Conservation Authority Full time
Who we are


The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has an international reputation for excellence in managing the natural resources of the largest inland river system in southern Ontario.

Our team is made up of committed and passionate experts in their fields, including scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, stewards, planners, foresters, recreation experts and much more.

Every day, we come to work to improve the health of the natural environment of the Grand River watershed for those who call it home or come to visit.

We are a progressive team, dedicated to lifelong learning, collaboration and making a positive impact.

Who you are

You want to be part of an organization with an environmental goal. You want the work you do to make a difference.

You like a team environment where everyone has an opportunity to contribute to achieve a shared goal, no matter their background or level of education and experience.

You like problem solving, expanding your horizons and making even the smallest positive impact for your community and the planet.

Why work for us

At the GRCA, we don't just talk about work-life balance, we promote and encourage it.

We offer flexible work hours, one day a week working from home, and wellness initiatives like onsite yoga and an Employee Assistance Program.

Our team feels a connection to their work, each other and the community we serve, and when you're "at the office", you won't feel like you're "at the office." Our Administration Centre is located in a tucked away, natural oasis next to the Shade's Mills reservoir, where a walk or lunch at the picnic tables provides the opportunity to be immersed in nature.

We offer staff development plans and open doors to help advance your career.

And our employees benefit from being part of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), with 100% matching contributions from GRCA.
