Western Canada | Full-time | Remote-first + Field

About CorniceCornice Environmental Consulting Ltd. brings direction to complex environmental delivery.

We work with project owners, consulting firms, and multidisciplinary teams when environmental responsibilities require stronger coordination, technical inputs need to be integrated, or delivery would benefit from experienced leadership.

Our senior-led model connects technical expertise, regulatory requirements, project decisions, specialist teams, and field execution. Our work is organized around three connected areas:

- Environmental Project Control
- Technical and Regulatory Support
- Training and Capability Building

Founded in 2013, Cornice is led by Robyn Black and Jim Trask, who bring more than five decades of combined environmental consulting experience across Western Canada and the western United States.
