Understanding of regulatory permitting requirements and compliance management related to mining, as well as oil and gas, renewable energy, and transportation projects.
Proven experience leading and collaborating within integrated teams delivering high-quality permit applications.
Excellent writing, communication, organizational, and time management skills.
Demonstrated ability to prioritize competing demands and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Experience providing direction to client and consulting teams regarding permit application content requirements that support successful regulatory review.
Experience engaging with regulators. Experience with Indigenous engagement is an asset.
Strong commitment to safety, including adherence to established health and safety protocols.
Strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
Driver's License Required: This position requires a valid driver's license and/or the ability to operate a company vehicle due to the nature of job duties, which include frequent travel to various client locations across a large geographical area.

Fluency in additional languages, such as Indigenous languages, Spanish, or French.
Prior leadership, mentoring, or team management experience.

Key Responsibilities

Provide technical direction and regulatory leadership for projects advancing through regulatory review and approval processes.
