This is an entry-level opportunity for a motivated candidate with a background in environmental engineering, sciences, or a related discipline who is interested in supporting both water and air compliance projects for industrial, commercial, and institutional clients.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Operations Manager, the Engineer-in-Training / Project Technologist will support a broad mix of water and air-related environmental consulting assignments across Ontario and other jurisdictions. Working alongside experienced Project Managers and Engineers, you will help clients understand and meet regulatory requirements related to water, wastewater, stormwater, air emissions, noise, dust, odour, ventilation, and environmental reporting.

This role offers a unique opportunity to develop technical expertise, gain field experience, and build a career in environmental consulting while contributing to both water and air-focused projects.
