Looking for a role where your organizational skills can make a real difference?

What if your next career move gave you the opportunity to build valuable experience, work with industry leaders and contribute to programs that support a more sustainable future?

At the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), that is exactly what you can do!

We are a national not-for-profit trade association representing Canada's heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry.

And we are still growing!

We are looking for a Program Coordinator – Environmental Services to join our team and help support environmental stewardship initiatives, including Refrigerant Management Canada and the Thermostat Recovery Program.

In this role, you will work closely with our Manager, Environmental Services, helping coordinate programs that support responsible refrigerant management, recycling and environmental sustainability.

- Making things better: Bring forward ideas to improve processes, communications and the overall experience for program participants

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is curious, dependable, detail-oriented and enjoys bringing organization to a busy environment.

Ideally, you bring:

- A post-secondary degree or diploma in business administration, environmental studies, sustainability or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

- Robust organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the details

- A friendly, skilled communication style and a genuine interest in helping others

- Confidence working with spreadsheets, databases, reports and documentation

- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, Outlook and PowerPoint

- A proactive approach to problem-solving and a willingness to learn

- The ability to work independently while also enjoying being part of a collaborative team

Bonus points if you have experience with:

- Environmental programs, sustainability or compliance

- Trade associations or not-for-profit organizations

- Member services or stakeholder relations

- Government or industry partnerships
