• Coordinate with communities, consultants, and contractors.
• Maintain accuracy and standardization across project files and templates.
• Uphold AEL’s Quality Management System.
• Work effectively with remote teams using digital platforms (Google Suite, Trello, shared drives, etc.).
• Contribute ideas as we continue to build and refine our project management systems.

Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree or equivalent experience in engineering, environmental sciences, construction, or related field.
• Experience in environmental consulting, site inspections, or health & safety.
• Strong technical writing (reports, proposals, specs).
• Familiarity with federal/provincial regulations and permitting.
• Valid driver’s license (work-related travel expenses covered).
• Organized, detail-oriented, and collaborative.
• Tech-savvy, adaptable, and excited to grow with a developing company.
• Languages: English required; additional languages including French or Indigenous/First Nations languages are considered strong assets.

As an Indigenous-owned firm, AEL prioritizes hiring First Nations, Inuit, and Métis applicants. Candidates who identify as Indigenous are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are committed to equity and inclusion and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds.
