  • Oversee the preparation of technical documentation in your area of expertise, ranging from hands-on analysis to delegating tasks to junior staff, ultimately serving as the senior technical reviewer.
  • Contribute to business development within our global impact assessment and planning service areas by identifying and developing new opportunities, crafting effective technical proposals, and actively leading new business initiatives with both new and existing clients.
  • Leverage existing ERM client relationships to enhance our profile and market share through excellence in technical delivery and business development, acting as a primary contact for clients and fostering deep relationships across various technical disciplines.
  • Collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams, integrating different types of work and communicating collective findings to diverse audiences.
Qualifications:
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo) with a Master’s or PhD in civil or environmental engineering or a related field.
  • Over 15 years of consulting experience in water resource management, impact assessment, and permitting within the Mining Sector, with specific expertise in hydrometeorology, water balance, geochemical modeling, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, and environmental water quality modeling.
  • Strong understanding of key regulatory drivers in the mining and energy sectors, coupled with high technical competence and broad knowledge of impact assessment best practices.
  • Exceptional team-building and influencing skills, with a reputation for integrity and the experience to effectively address client and business needs.
  • Recognized technical expertise with a solid reputation in the marketplace, including positive relationships with key regulators relevant to environmental approvals.
  • Proven ability to develop and maintain long-term client relationships.
  • Excellent English writing and presentation skills.
