- Lead the design, analysis, interpretation, recommendations, and reporting associated with these studies for water treatment systems and source control strategies for the mining and resources sectors.
- Support the development, coaching, and training of discipline staff with a focus on learning and increasing their knowledge and contributions for our environmental biotechnology service offerings, including biological and semi-passive water treatment and biogeochemical source control.
- Act as a strong brand ambassador, embodying the organizational values of having HEART: Hungry, Entrepreneurial, Accountable, Resourceful and Teamwork.
