Original job description

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

When it comes to environmental consulting, we’re helping our clients protect our world’s natural resources. Pave the way for your career with a company that inspires and empowers you to deliver your best work so you can evolve, grow, and succeed - today and into tomorrow. You'll impact the world around you by helping us solve real-life challenges.

As a Principal Aquatics Specialist , you will provide strategic, technical, and operational leadership for the aquatics practice. This role is responsible for advancing technical excellence, mentoring staff, supporting business growth, and guiding the delivery of high-quality aquatics services. The position influences practice direction and team development through expertise and leadership, without direct supervisory responsibilities.

Based out of Alberta or British Columbia, this will be a full-time, mostly office-based role. You’ll have the opportunity to work with multidisciplinary project teams guiding aquatic environmental planning and permitting efforts for government and privately-owned infrastructure projects. You will provide technical direction and supervision for the duration of these projects, throughout the proposal, design, construction, and operations phases, with the opportunity to lead the implementation of the work, the development of budgets, methodology, and the review of deliverables, and regulatory applications. In this position, you will leverage relationships with clients, regulators, and subcontractors and provide insight into business development. The successful candidate will have a reputation in the industry as a technical expert and possess a demonstrated ability to defend the technical rigor of the work completed.

Bring your expertise in environmental science and desire to conserve our natural resources, and we’ll empower you to deliver the boldest solutions for our clients.

Core Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Serve as the senior subject matter expert and provide technical oversight for aquatics assessments, permitting, monitoring, proposals and regulatory requirements
Lead resolution of complex technical challenges and support project teams with specialized expertise
Monitor emerging science, regulations, methodologies, and industry practices to ensure continual improvement

Strategic Direction

Contribute to team capacity and capability development
Advise leadership on emerging risks, opportunities, and trends affecting aquatic resources and regulatory environments
Assist in interviews and identify skill gaps within the team to build capacity across Canada
Support business development efforts from a technical perspective, including proposal preparation and client relationship management
Represent the organization with regulators, industry associations, Indigenous communities, and other stakeholders as a senior technical advisor

Mentorship and Skill Development

Mentor and support staff development through coaching, training, and knowledge sharing
Help develop a collaborative and inclusive team culture

Operational Effectiveness

Assist Project Managers in matching staff skills to project needs
Identify efficiencies in field programs, reporting processes, and project execution.

Here's what you'll need

B.Sc., M.Sc, or Doctorate degree in fish or aquatic-related studies with relevant experience conducting and managing aquatic studies (such as fish and fish habitat assessments, water quality monitoring, fish sampling, etc.)
Hold Professional Designation under the BC College of Applied Biology and/or the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists
20+ years of experience as an Aquatic Biologist in the natural resources sector in Western Canada, preferably in a consulting environment
In-depth knowledge and experience with the Federal Fisheries Act and other relevant provincial and federal environmental legislation in Western Canada and how it applies to natural resource projects
Previous experience overseeing aquatics fieldwork, directing and/or managing aquatic crews in remote settings from the office
Previous experience leading and providing mentorship for a team of biologists of varying skill levels and experience. Desire to be involved in hiring and growing positive mentoring relationships
Excellent technical writing skills and experience providing technical reviews and edits as needed
Relevant linear development (e.g., roads, conveyance) or oil and gas regulatory experience
Experience liaising with regulators and providing strategic regulatory advice to clients and internal teams during all stages of the project life cycle
Must have a driver's license and clean driver’s abstract for any work travel

Ideally, you’ll also have

Experience working with a diverse range of private and municipal clients, including oil and gas, mining, transportation, water, infrastructure, and energy
Experience growing and maintaining client relationships and business development opportunities
Time management skills, with the ability to simultaneously work on multiple tasks/projects and meet project deadlines within budget.
Familiarity with digitally collected field data in a web browser or desktop-based digital solution.
