Proven experience leading and collaborating within integrated teams delivering high-quality permit applications.
Excellent writing, communication, organizational, and time management skills.

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