Coordinate environmental oversight with site operations, construction contractors, and logistics to manage environmental risk during active construction, drilling, and reclamation work.

Water Quality and Environmental Monitoring

Lead, coordinate, and participate in surface water and groundwater monitoring programs in accordance with approved monitoring plans, permits, standard operating procedures, and QA/QC requirements.
Track and interpret water quality results, including dissolved metals and effluent standards, against licence criteria.
Support monitoring of contact water, non-contact water, seepage, runoff, diversions, ponds, sumps, discharge points, groundwater wells, and receiving environments.
Maintain and update water quality, monitoring, and compliance tracking databases and spreadsheets.

Archaeological, Biological and Ecological Field Programs

Plan and/or oversee biological, wildlife, and vegetation survey programs typical of mine and exploration sites, including aquatic and fisheries surveys, wildlife surveys, and vegetation and reclamation monitoring.
Support environmental baseline and monitoring programs associated field activities conducted onsite.

Lead the onsite response to spills, releases, or other environmental incidents, including containment, notification, and remediation coordination.
Ensure timely and accurate reporting of spills and releases to the Yukon Spill Line and other regulators as required.
Deliver spill response training and drills for site personnel and contractors.

Reporting and Stakeholder Relations
