We work across Canada's Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic coastlines, guiding projects from uncertainty to regulatory approval by defining clear pathways, translating science for stakeholders and decision-makers, and crafting deliverables built for scrutiny. We believe projects are better when Indigenous Peoples help shape them from the start, are meaningfully included at every stage, and tangibly share in the benefits. We're building a team of people who are both skilled and kind, meaning folks who are technically strong, values-driven, and good to work with.

A proven track record in environmental/marine work such as proposal writing, scope/method development, schedule/budget management, facilitation with regulators and Indigenous partners, and decision-ready reports on tight timelines. Familiarity with Canadian marine regulatory pathways (DFO, TC, ECCC, IAAC/CEAA, provincial/territorial). Bonus assets: GIS skills for spatial analysis and quality figures; experience collaborating and partnering with Indigenous Peoples; QA/QC or data standards know-how. We make our methods legible, our assumptions explicit, and our data auditable. Indigenous-led approaches and Two-Eyed Seeing inform how we design, interpret, and learn. We pair technical excellence with care in every interaction, internally and externally Competitive salary [$75,000 -$100,000], benefits, paid professional development, accreditation support (e.g., Bio or provincial equivalent), flexible work, and purposeful field opportunities.
