- Write technical reports
- Write and/or support development of proposals, work with business developers to engage local clients in the BC Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley region
- Lead potentially complex field work (requiring development of daily priorities, study design adjustments based on field realities to meet project objectives) in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, with opportunities to travel around BC, AB, and YK, as needed
- Provide mentorship to junior staff and be an active learner
- Actively participate in Stantec's Health, Safety, Security, and Environment Program to promote a strong health and safety culture at work and at home, including following Stantec safe work practices for field programs

**Qualifications**

**Your Capabilities and Experience**
- Application of federal and provincial legislation and regulations and municipal bylaws in an environmental consulting context, such as regulatory requirements for aquatic environments or water and sediment quality guidelines
- Understanding of how water influences biological communities
- Experience with designing studies to meet specific objectives
- Experience working with contractors, engineers, and design teams to identify strategies to avoid, mitigate, and/or reduce potential impacts to the environment, and with construction teams to implement those strategies
- Developing field programs and leading field crews
- Analyzing and presenting data
- Supporting mentorship and field training of junior staff
- Willingness to travel for project work
- Strong interpersonal and social skills, including in-person and online collaboration
- Excellent time management and organizational skills

- Ability to lift and move items and equipment up to 23 kg (i.e., carrying field equipment and samples)

**Education and Experience**

A minimum of a B.Sc. and five years of experience related to aquatic biology, or M.Sc. with four years of experience are required.

Relevant consulting experience is required.

Typical office environment involves working with computers and remaining relatively sedentary.
