• Manage contractors and ensure safe, compliant, and high-quality execution of field programs
• Collect and interpret environmental samples (soil, groundwater, vapour, air, landfill gas)
• Analyse complex datasets, develop conceptual site models, and document findings
• Prepare technical reports and actionable recommendations for clients
• Apply relevant legislation, standards, and project specifications
• Build trusted relationships with clients and internal teams, contributing to national initiatives
• Champion a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement
• Take ownership of small to medium-sized projects, managing timelines, budgets, and deliverables
• Strengthen your leadership skills by guiding junior staff and contributing to proposal development
