- Collaborate with the community relations lead and engage with local and Indigenous communities to incorporate stakeholder concerns into environmental strategies and plans.
- Promote ESG principles, monitor evolving industry practices, and contribute to continuous improvement in the project’s environmental performance.

- Experience integrating environmental considerations into engineering and construction activities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both English and French, supported by strong analytical, strategic planning, and risk management capabilities.
