Responsibilities:

  • Provide input, advice, and guidance on regulatory, permitting, and environmental impact assessment tasks in support of clients' projects.
  • Assist project managers, provide project coordination, or project management skills to execute scope, budget, and schedule to meet client expectations, and ensure quality standards and regulatory requirements are fulfilled on project deliverables.
  • Support engagement activities with communities and stakeholders as part of the project design and regulatory process.
  • Lead and support delivery activities such as impact assessment scoping, regulatory process coordination, permit application scoping, application information requirements, technical writing, data and regulatory research and review, collection and integration of input from ERM's subject matter experts.
  • Support development of environmental management plans, delegating work requests to GIS, data compilation and desktop publishing assignments to support permit applications, and development of recommendations for clients.
  • Support and contribute to business development and marketing activities in the company through conducting research on client needs, preparing marketing materials, and participating in proposal preparation.

Qualifications & Desirable Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in environmental sciences, biology, environmental engineering, or related field. Or the equivalency of 8+ years related experience in lieu of education.
  • 5 to 7 years of experience in the resource development industry or environmental consulting.
  • Understanding of environmental and social effects related to mining, oil and gas, renewable energy, transportation, and/or related developments.
  • Understanding of regulatory and permitting requirements and compliance management as they relate to mining, oil and gas, renewable energy, and transportation projects.
  • Expertise and experience with Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial regulations and guidelines (in particular, familiarity with environmental assessment and permitting processes in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and/or Nunavut) or similar legislation in other jurisdictions.
  • Familiarity with field program scoping to meet regulatory requirements.
  • Ability to both work as part of a team and be a self-starter when required.
  • Excellent writing, communication, organization, attention to detail, and time management skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and awareness or familiarity with project management tools.
  • Ability to prioritize and meet deadlines in a demanding work environment.
  • Demonstrate a growth mindset and keen interest and ability to learn new skills and knowledge, applying and integrating on an ongoing basis.
