Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be highly organized, technically curious, detail-oriented, and motivated to improve the day-to-day performance of facilities that support the circular economy, waste diversion, and low-carbon energy production. Candidates with P. Eng., status, along with a minimum of 1 to 3 years’ experience as a professional engineer are preferred.
