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.

Strong commitment to safety, including adherence to established health and safety protocols.
Strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
