Full job description

R.J. MacIsaac Construction Limited (RJMI) is seeking an Environmental Specialist/Project Manager to play a key role in coordinating and advancing the environmental aspects of marine and industrial recycling and demolition projects. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to broader project delivery while applying and developing expertise in environmental compliance and project execution.

The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of environmental oversight and practical project delivery—supporting regulatory compliance, environmental monitoring fieldwork, and on-site implementation within complex project environments.

About RJMI

At RJMI you’re joining a team that takes on unique marine projects and strives to set a higher bar for environmental responsibility in the industry. From major marine infrastructure builds to responsible ship and asset recycling, the work is varied, practical, and hands-on—ideal for people who want to see tangible results and be proud of the impact.

For over 50 years, we’ve built our reputation through responsible ship recycling, marine construction, and demolition services—delivering complex, high-impact projects across Atlantic Canada.

What you’ll do

This position is intentionally structured to be flexible and scalable, allowing it to align with the successful candidate’s level of experience. At minimum, the role will focus on environmental coordination and site-based activities. For candidates with additional qualifications and experience, there is an opportunity to take on project management responsibilities, lead environmental programs, and support complex regulatory and hazardous materials work.

As part of the Operations team, the successful candidate will support and/or lead environmental aspects of marine and heavy industrial projects. Responsibilities will scale based on experience and may include:

Core responsibilities

Support the end-to-end delivery of environmental requirements across all projects
Ensure compliance with regulatory, ISO, and client requirements
Liaise with consultants and lead coordination of environmental monitoring and reporting activities, offer analysis and guidance regarding results and regulatory implications
Perform onsite environmental work such as sampling and site inspections, compile results and document opportunities for continuous improvement and any corrective actions
Assist in the management of environmental incidents and stakeholder communications, ensuring timely and effective response
Promote a strong culture of environmental awareness and compliance through training and on-site engagement
Provide environmental oversight and reporting to leadership, supporting informed decision-making

Based on experience and capability, the scope of this role may expand to include project coordination, environmental permitting and approvals, hazardous materials management, and leading the environmental workstreams of complex projects.

This may also include providing technical guidance to project teams, supporting or acting as a Qualified Person (QP) for reporting purposes, and engaging directly with clients, regulators, and other key stakeholders.

What you’ll bring

We are encouraging applications from candidates with a range of backgrounds, including environmental, civil, and/or mechanical disciplines.

Minimum qualifications

Engineering technologist (CET) or degree in environmental, civil, mechanical, or related discipline
Ability to perform environmental fieldwork, data collection, and reporting
Strong written and oral communication abilities
Excellent documentation and analysis skills

Experience and assets

Experience in marine, heavy civil, demolition, or industrial environments
Exposure to environmental sampling, monitoring, and reporting
Familiarity with environmental regulations, permits, and approvals
Experience supporting project coordination or field-based project work
Exposure to hazardous materials or industrial environmental programs
Proficiency with Excel, drafting software (e.g., AutoCAD), project management software (e.g., Microsoft project), and GIS.
Professional designation (e.g., P.Eng.) or ability to act as a Qualified Person (QP)

Additional strengths (based on experience level)

Experience leading environmental components or projects or coordinating multidisciplinary teams
Experience supporting regulatory reporting or engaging with clients and regulatory agencies
Demonstrated experience leading the planning and execution of large-scale industrial projects, with accountability for scope, schedule, budget, and cross-functional coordination in complex, high-risk environments

Why this role?

Unique opportunity to work across environmental, engineering, and operations
Flexibility to shape the role based on your experience level, with an opportunity for growth into project management and technical leadership.
Exposure to complex marine and heavy industrial projects

Compensation will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, market benchmarks, and internal equity.

Work will be primarily based in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia at RJMI’s site in the Port of Sheet Harbour, but may require travel across the region based on the nature of active projects. Depending on proximity of the successful candidate, accommodations will be provided through corporate housing arrangements during the workweek.

We value diversity and what it brings to our teams and overall client experiences. We believe Indigenous communities are important partners; and are committed to enhancing relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities. We’re committed to fostering a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities in which we operate and those we serve. We are actively recruiting individuals who self identify as an Indigenous person to join our team.

We encourage and consider applications from all qualified individuals and consider candidates without regard to race, religion, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, country of origin, or disability. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.

Qualified applicants are asked to submit a resume and cover letter citing “Environmental Specialist/Project Manager – RJMI” in the subject line, no later than June 23rd, 2026. We appreciate all expressed interest in this position; however, only candidates selected for interview will be contacted. No phone calls please.
