- Assist in the development and implementation of consultation and engagement programs, including with First Nations and Indigenous communities.
- Independently coordinate and manage external subcontractors.
- Effectively delegate tasks and activities to more junior staff, providing technical and supervisory guidance on assigned tasks.
- Assist with and, as necessary, taking a lead role in the development of proposals, qualification documents and other business development related activities.
