About The Position

My client is a Canadian environmental consulting firm seeking a versatile Reclamation Specialist to support mine reclamation, closure, permitting, and environmental assessment projects. This is a hands-on role for someone who can contribute across technical delivery, field programs, data and GIS, reporting, and project coordination rather than working within one narrow discipline. The successful candidate may bring a background in vegetation, soils, wildlife, wetlands, ecology, or another reclamation-related field. More important is the ability to apply that expertise to regulated reclamation and closure work. Direct mining experience is strongly preferred.

Requirements

A degree in environmental science, biology, ecology, reclamation, geography, natural resource management, or a related field.
Approximately five or more years of relevant experience in mine reclamation, mine closure planning, environmental consulting, or comparable regulated reclamation work.
Direct experience supporting reclamation or closure deliverables in mining is strongly preferred.
Substantive oil and gas reclamation experience will also be considered.
Experience supporting or leading components of multidisciplinary projects, including scope, schedule, budget, coordination, and deliverable tracking.
Field experience and a willingness to travel occasionally to remote sites for multi-day assignments in variable weather and terrain.
Working knowledge of GIS, preferably ArcGIS Pro, including spatial-data management, integration, QA/QC, analysis, and map production.
Experience analyzing environmental data using Excel, R, or comparable tools.
Knowledge of British Columbia mine reclamation and closure requirements, including the Mines Act, the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia, and relevant environmental legislation.
Registration, or eligibility for registration, with an applicable professional body such as P.Ag., P.Biol., RPBio, or EP.
A valid Class 5 driver’s licence or provincial equivalent.
Must live in Canada.
