Metro Vancouver Regional District, Canada Engaging Minds Consulting Full time

There are several positions available. All work is scheduled on very early mornings on weekdays (except statutory holidays) in July and August. Training for 2 full days on June 20th & 21st is required.

**What this work is about**:
The Drinking Water Conservation Plan Summer Support Program is a project that is beginning Year 3 and still being developed in coordination with municipalities throughout Metro Vancouver to support their enforcement and education programs during a critical period for implementation.

**The objectives of this program include**:

- Ensuring residents are aware of the lawn watering restrictions;
- Reducing non-compliant lawn watering; and
- Providing support to member jurisdiction education and enforcement programs.

The Program will consist of staff travelling through areas using maps (provided) with driving routes to look for evidence of non-compliant lawn watering. When evidence of an infraction is found, field staff will take photographs, record data and leave printed information in the mailbox or at the door for the residents of that address.

Information and data will be shared between Metro Vancouver and the member jurisdiction responsible, allowing for potential follow up by local enforcement and the collection of data related to program success metrics. On any given day, six to eight team members will work in pairs in three or four different vehicles to visit different geographic zones of the region, such as: 1) North and West Van, 2) Richmond 3) Coquitlam and Port Moody, 4) Burnaby, 5) Surrey, Delta, Langley Township.

**Work Duties**:

- Working with a team member, drive to the most cost effective meetup point for ride sharing to/from the starting and ending point of the day.
- Observe for non-compliant lawn watering using criteria, while following provided driving routes.
- One member of each pair will drive the route while the other takes photos and records observations into software using the smartphone provided.
- Complete and deliver a notice of infraction with handwritten information, along with print information, to non-compliant residences.
- Participate actively in training provided.
- Water conservation knowledge is not required.
- A vehicle insured for business use and $5M driver liability, and a drivers licence, is required.
- **Our team is looking for **_
- Conscientious, reliable individuals with a willingness to commit to work, as scheduled.
- The ability to diligently observe details and patterns, and record them accurately and thoroughly according to specific program requirements.
- A collaborative mindset for team-based work, and active participation in team meetings.
- Strategic thinking ability to contribute to the efficiency, effectiveness, and improvement of this project.
- Willingness to travel to different neighbourhoods within the Greater Metro Vancouver area.
