  • Pre-Construction Guidance: Provide guidance to pre-construction teams on identifying and managing environmental risks.
  • Project Support: Offer advice on local regulatory requirements, review and develop environmental management plans, and ensure sites hold all necessary legal licences and permits.
  • Training and Audits: Deliver environmental training and awareness, and support project sites in preparing for Ecosite and Green Site Office audits.
  • Incident Management: Assist project teams with managing and investigating environmental incidents and implementing preventive measures.

What We’re Looking For:

    • Experience in the construction industry.
    • Additional language skills in French (beneficial but not essential).

Key Attributes:

  • Humility: Value diverse perspectives and contributions from all team members.

  • Respect: Adhere to regulations and provide respectful feedback.
  • Solidarity: Operate as 'One team' and share responsibility for project outcomes.
  • Clarity: Communicate effectively to promote team alignment and make swift decisions.
