- Develop, maintain, and track permitting schedules, critical paths, and risk registers; identify emerging issues and propose mitigation strategies.




- Contribute directly to regulatory and licensing applications, including drafting, reviewing, and coordinating inputs for environmental and mine licensing submissions.
- Support engagement with Indigenous governments, regulators, and communities on technical environmental and permitting matters, including participation in meetings and presentations.
- Prepare clear, defensible technical reports, briefing materials, and presentations for internal decision‑making and external review.
- Coordinate closely with internal teams (engineering, geology, community relations, sustainability) to ensure environmental and permitting considerations are incorporated into project design and execution.
- Support regulatory readiness by tracking commitments, conditions, and information requests, and coordinating timely responses.

Qualifications & Experience:

- Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, Biology, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Professional designation (e.g., R.P.Bio., P.Eng., or equivalent) is an asset.
- Minimum 8 years of relevant experience in environmental permitting, environmental assessment, or consulting, preferably within the mining sector.
- Experience working with northern Canadian regulatory frameworks, particularly in Yukon, is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience managing complex, multidisciplinary technical studies and external consultant teams.
- Strong project management skills, including scheduling, budgeting, risk management, and cross‑functional coordination.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information to diverse audiences.
- Experience working in, and willingness to travel to, remote and field‑based project locations.
