AET Group is growing and we're looking for a Senior Consultant who's ready to lead the charge in shaping the future of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Climate Strategy consulting in Canada.

This is more than a consulting role it is an opportunity to help build and grow a service area that's driving measurable climate impact.

• Maintain clear communication with all stakeholders and handle administrative tasks including cost accounting and invoicing

Business Development & Outreach - You'll help shape AET's growth strategy and bring in meaningful, mission-aligned work.

• Identify new opportunities through RFPs and RFQs
• Lead proposal writing and client outreach
• Represent AET at industry events and build partnerships that expand our impact

Mentorship & Team Growth - You'll help develop the next generation of climate professionals while building a respected practice area.

• Mentor and coach emerging professionals in GHG and sustainability
• Support hiring and training initiatives
• Present findings to clients and represent AET at conferences and workshops
