  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.

  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).
