Looking for a role where your organizational skills can make a real difference?
What if your next career move gave you the opportunity to build valuable experience, work with industry leaders and contribute to programs that support a more sustainable future?
At the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), that is exactly what you can do!
We are a national not-for-profit trade association representing Canada's heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry.

In this role, you will work closely with our Manager, Environmental Services, helping coordinate programs that support responsible refrigerant management, recycling and environmental sustainability.

This is a great opportunity to grow your career, develop new skills and be part of work that has a meaningful environmental impact.

- Collaborating with industry partners: Support communications and relationships with government agencies, industry organizations, committees and other stakeholders
- Supporting planning and reporting: Assist with annual program plans, provincial reporting, budget tracking and preparation
- Getting involved: Participate in meetings, industry events, outreach activities and educational initiatives
- Making things better: Bring forward ideas to improve processes, communications and the overall experience for program participants
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who is curious, dependable, detail-oriented and enjoys bringing organization to a busy environment.
Ideally, you bring:
- A post-secondary degree or diploma in business administration, environmental studies, sustainability or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- 1–3 years of experience in coordination, administration, project support, customer or stakeholder service, or a similar role
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the details
- A friendly, professional communication style and a genuine interest in helping others
- Confidence working with spreadsheets, databases, reports and documentation
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, Outlook and PowerPoint
- A proactive approach to problem-solving and a willingness to learn
- The ability to work independently while also enjoying being part of a collaborative team
Bonus points if you have experience with:
- Environmental programs, sustainability or compliance
- Trade associations or not-for-profit organizations
- Member services or stakeholder relations
- Government or industry partnerships
- Database management or program reporting
Do not check every box? That is okay! We recognize that great candidates bring different experiences and strengths. If this role interests you and you have strong coordination skills and a willingness to learn, we encourage you to apply.
