Build the Future With Us 

Bring your ecological expertise to projects that protect natural environments and support responsible development across Atlantic Canada. Based in Dartmouth, you will join our Ecology team to provide office and field-based support for environmental permitting, monitoring, and assessment projects, from focused applications to complex multidisciplinary programs. You will plan and lead ecological surveys, coordinate small to medium-sized assignments, interpret field data, and develop clear technical deliverables for clients and regulators. 

Your Impact 

• Coordinate small to medium-sized environmental permitting and monitoring projects from inception to completion, including communications with clients and regulators. 

• Support experienced project managers and technical leads on complex environmental impact assessments, permitting assignments, and monitoring programs. 

• Design and implement project work plans focused on avian and terrestrial habitats, aquatics, wetlands, and species at risk. 

• Lead and support ecological field programs across Atlantic Canada, including habitat surveys, water and sediment sampling, fish and benthic sampling, botanical inventories, and wildlife assessments. 

• Analyze, evaluate, and interpret ecological data to produce high-quality technical reports, permitting applications, and environmental impact assessments. 

• Advise multidisciplinary project teams on ecology-related requirements that influence infrastructure, transportation, planning, and environmental outcomes. 

• Manage field activities with a strong focus on safe execution, reliable data collection, and compliance with WSP health and safety requirements. 

• Contribute to a collaborative Ecology team while building your project coordination, technical leadership, and client-facing experience. 

The Skills That Set You Apart 

• A university degree in Environmental Science, Ecology, Biology, or a related discipline, with three to five years of relevant experience conducting ecological studies.
