Senior Ecologist

We are seeking an experienced senior ecologist to provide technical direction, project leadership, and mentorship within a biophysical consulting team. This is a hands-on senior role for someone who can balance scientific quality, client service, and project accountability while helping develop junior staff. In this position, you will lead environmental projects from early scoping through completion, taking responsibility for budgets, schedules, deliverables, and overall quality. You will work closely with clients in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and resource development, offering practical advice on regulatory and technical matters. You will also contribute to proposal development, work planning, and client communications to support business growth. The role requires strong expertise in vegetation, wetlands, wildlife, soils, reclamation, and environmental assessment work. You will oversee field programs and review technical outputs related to wetland evaluations, linear developments, municipal and industrial sites, compliance monitoring, and impact assessment. A solid understanding of regional environmental regulations and strong report-writing skills are important. You will also support the growth of the team by mentoring staff, reviewing work products, and helping deliver training and knowledge-sharing initiatives. The position is primarily office-based, with occasional field travel and site visits as needed. Candidates should be comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities, and meeting deadlines in a professional consulting environment.
