Ontario Mine Representative

Stantec has an opportunity for a sector leadership position as the Mining Sector Representative for the Environmental Services (ES) Business Operating Unit in Ontario. This project leadership and business development focused role will support the top line growth of business within the mining sector. The Mining Sector Representative will work directly with the Business Center Practice Leaders (BCPLs) in Ontario, as well as the Environmental Services Mining Sector Leader, and will also work collaboratively with Stantec’s Environmental Services team across Canada.

The successful candidate will help set the vision for how the environmental sector services practice will grow its mining sector business within Ontario.

While 40% of the role is expected to be dedicated to the Ontario Mine Sector Leader role, 60% of the role will be focused on technical work and leadership within the Mining Sector. The successful candidate will have a degree in a technical discipline relevant to the Mining Sector and work within multi-disciplinary teams on baseline and impact assessment projects, feasibility studies, rehabilitation projects, and projects related to their technical expertise.

The role will involve managing multi-discipline scopes of work within a team of technical experts and interacting directly with clients. Strong quantitative skills within their technical discipline and the ability to provide overarching strategic advice within the Mining Sector are required.

This position can be based anywhere in Ontario and will require periodic travel within Ontario to other Stantec offices, in addition to client offices as required. It is anticipated that travel would include occasional travel for conference attendance, and to meet with other practitioners or clients within Ontario as project needs arise. Extended out of town travel is not anticipated for this role.
