About You

To qualify, you will need 5+ years of experience in project coordination within environmental consulting, regulatory planning, permitting, or a related project-based environment where document management, stakeholder coordination, and complex project delivery are central to success.

We recognize that professionals with the right coordination and project delivery experience often come from a variety of industries and backgrounds. Experience gained through environmental consulting, mining, energy, infrastructure, government, regulatory agencies, or other highly regulated, document-driven environments will all be considered, provided you can demonstrate strong organizational skills, proactive project coordination, and the ability to manage complex, multidisciplinary deliverables.

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

• Experience coordinating Environmental Assessments, permitting, regulatory approvals, or other complex document-driven projects
• Strong project coordination, document control, and organizational skills across multidisciplinary teams
• Experience managing action trackers, deliverables, schedules, information requests, and competing priorities using Microsoft Office and other project coordination platforms
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across clients, consultants, and technical specialists
• Experience supporting quality assurance, document reviews, technical reporting, and deliverable production
• Ability to identify project risks, anticipate downstream impacts, and proactively resolve coordination challenges
• Post-secondary education in Business Administration, Project Management, Environmental Studies, Public Administration, or a related discipline (asset)
• Experience within environmental consulting, regulatory agencies, or Indigenous-owned organizations (asset)
• Ability and willingness to travel periodically to Prince George, Vancouver, and project sites as required

As our ideal candidate, you are an exceptionally organized, proactive, and detail-oriented project professional who thrives in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and collaboration is essential. You communicate confidently with a wide range of stakeholders, take ownership of keeping projects moving, and anticipate issues before they become problems. You are equally comfortable managing complex documentation, supporting multidisciplinary teams, and enabling senior project managers to deliver high-quality outcomes.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a project professional who enjoys serving as the central coordination point for complex Environmental Assessment projects, bringing structure to complexity, enabling multidisciplinary teams to perform at their best, and contributing to meaningful environmental work alongside an Indigenous-owned organization.
