  • Supporting multi-disciplinary teams with technical wildlife expertise

  • Managing project tasks, fieldwork, and report delivery to meet client schedules and quality expectations

  • Liaising with clients, contractors, and on-site representatives

  • Advising clients on environmental Best Management Practices

  • Supporting internal project review and quality assurance

  • Working collaboratively within Triton’s team-oriented culture

Opportunities for Experienced Candidates

  • There is also an opportunity to take on an office-based role, with little to no field travel, focused on technical advisory leadership, coordination of field programs, and direct client engagement.

Note: Duties may evolve based on business needs and as you grow within the role.

Preferred:

  • Knowledge of federal and provincial environmental regulations and permitting processes

  • Having worked in environmental consulting industry is preferred

  • Having previous field work experience, conducting wildlife biology related work

  • Experience conducting pre-construction and construction-phase wildlife work

Candidates must be willing and able to travel and work in remote locations for extended periods, with accommodations provided (camp and/or hotel, depending on project requirements). Scheduling may vary based on specific client and project needs.

For senior-level candidates, there may be the opportunity to transition into a more office-based role, which offers a collaborative and flexible hybrid working schedule.
