Open to employees of the Federal Public Service across Canada and Indigenous peoples in Canada, with targeted outreach activities and an expression of interest pathway for members of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), including the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and the Saugeen First Nation.

Duties
The Site Superintendent is responsible for leading the overall management and day-to-day operations of the site. This includes ensuring the protection of natural and cultural resources, delivering safe and high-quality visitor experiences, and supporting respectful relationships with Indigenous partners, local communities, and stakeholders.

The Site Superintendent works closely with Indigenous Nations, including the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, to support shared stewardship and decision making. The role includes fostering trust, respecting Indigenous knowledge and protocols, and advancing reconciliation through ongoing collaboration.

The Site Superintendent leads a multidisciplinary team and is responsible for planning, setting priorities, managing budgets and resources, and making decisions that support the site’s long term sustainability. The position also ensures compliance with Parks Canada policies and contributes to broader field unit and agency objectives.

The role requires representing Parks Canada publicly, responding to complex or sensitive issues, and maintaining strong relationships with partners and the public. The Site Superintendent ensures that operations are safe, inclusive, and responsive to community needs while balancing conservation, visitor experience, and operational priorities.

Work environment
Imagine working each day surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Canada. At Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park, your office includes rugged cliffs, turquoise waters, ancient cedar forests, and some of the clearest freshwater diving sites in the world.

As Site Superintendent, you will join a passionate and dedicated team committed to protecting these special places while welcoming visitors from across Canada and around the world. You will work closely with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation and local communities to support shared stewardship, build meaningful relationships, and advance reconciliation in a real and tangible way.

This is a dynamic and people focused role. Your work will take place in both office and field settings, where no two days are the same. You may be engaging with partners, supporting your team in the field, responding to emerging issues, or helping shape the future of the parks.

You will be part of Parks Canada’s Eastern and Central Ontario Field Unit, where collaboration, respect, and a shared sense of purpose guide our work. We value learning, continuous improvement, and creating a workplace that is inclusive, supportive, and grounded in respect for diverse perspectives and knowledge systems.
