• Apply best practices in grading, slope stabilization, erosion control, and ecological restoration
• Track project progress, budgets, and timelines, and prepare clear documentation and reports

Required Qualifications

• Post-secondary education in landscape architecture, environmental science, civil engineering, or a related field
• 1–3 years of relevant experience (design, construction, restoration, or project coordination experience preferred)
• Proficiency with AutoCAD or similar design software and strong general computer skills
• Experience managing contracts and working with contractors
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to work independently and meet deadlines
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively across Ontario, including overnight travel
• Valid G Class driver’s licence and eligibility to rent vehicles from commercial rental agencies

Asset Qualifications

• Knowledge of applicable construction, environmental, and occupational health and safety legislation
• Experience with grading, slope stabilization, and erosion control techniques
• Understanding of ecological restoration principles and naturalized ecosystems
• Experience working with landowners, municipalities, or other stakeholders
• Ability to review and apply current research and emerging best practices in restoration

What We Offer

• Full-time, permanent position
• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience)
• Group health benefits and matching RRSP contribution plan
• On-the-job training and professional development
• Transportation provided for fieldwork; travel expenses reimbursed
• Meaningful work with visible, long-term environmental impact
