We are looking for engaged and dynamic individuals to grow with us as we focus on providing innovative and technically-sound solutions, combined with an above average customer experience.
Position Description:
The Technical Lead – Impacted Sites provides daily oversight and direction to a small group of technical individuals carrying out phased environmental site assessments and remediation projects across the Prairie Provinces, primarily focused on Saskatchewan and Alberta, with an average individual price of less than $50,000. In this role, the selected candidate will be expected to act in both a technical and administrative capacity, monitoring project and team budgets, identifying key hires and strategic moves, and supporting client interactions and relationships.
The selected candidate will be expected to take a leading role in the acquiring, execution, and management of technical assignments, including Phase I/ II/ III Environmental Site Assessments, Corrective Action Plans, and Closure/ Status Reports at contaminated sites, in accordance with the applicable chapters of the Saskatchewan Environmental Code and/or Canadian Standards Association. In this role, the successful candidate must be able to provide clear direction to junior and intermediate staff and communicate effectively with corporate directors and C-suite level executives.
Subject to past experiences and areas of interest, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to provide support on projects from Omni-McCann’s civil and geotechnical engineering portfolio.
This position works collaboratively with Omni-McCann’s project delivery team, based out of Saskatoon and Edmonton, providing project support in a primarily office-based setting. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in projects of varying size and complexity, and can expect to be involved in five or more projects at any given time.
Occasional field work and/or travel in support of projects in other jurisdictions (e.g. Alberta, Ontario, etc.) may be required, but will not be a regular component of the position.
Duties:
Technical duties may include:
- Managing and coordinating environmental field investigations or monitoring events, including coordination and oversight of subcontractors.

- Environmental regulatory review and application.
- Client and regulatory liaison.
Operational duties may include:
- Supporting the development of client relationships, through contributions to the development of technical and financial proposals and participation in client meetings/presentations.
- Mentorship and direct oversight of junior project team members.
- Supporting the development of corporate guidance documents, as requested by members of the Senior Leadership Team.
Qualifications:
- Successful completion of physical science, engineering, and/or environmental-related college or university level studies.
- Minimum three years’ experience in directly related areas of practice in western Canada, including experience conducting and overseeing the investigation of soil and groundwater.

Candidates eligible for professional designation within two years are preferred.
- Understanding of the Saskatchewan Environmental Code required.
- Understanding of the Canadian Standards Association Standards for Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments required.
- Previous experience in contaminated sites assessment/remediation in Saskatchewan is preferred. Experience in other jurisdictions of Canada is considered an asset, but not required as the primary regional focus of work will be in Saskatchewan.
- Experience in other consulting fields offered by Omni-McCann (e.g. geotechnical/civil engineering) considered an asset.
- The successful candidate should have strong communication skills and the ability to work on project tasks independently.
- Candidates will be required to demonstrate their understanding of their technical and written communication skills, as part of the interview process.
