Within our Environment team, you will plan, execute, and oversee environmental site characterization mandates (Phases I, II, and III) in support of urban, intercity, and heavy-rail mobility projects. You will ensure compliance with provincial and federal regulatory requirements, manage risks associated with potentially contaminated lands, and secure the necessary permits and approvals to enable infrastructure project delivery.

• Conduct Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (desktop review, historical land use, site visits, interviews) and recommend next steps.
• Design, plan, and supervise Phase II and Phase III characterization programs, including drilling, in situ testing, soil/groundwater and railway material sampling, laboratory analyses (QA/QC), impact delineation, hydrogeological modeling, and mass balance assessments.
• Interpret analytical results, establish regulatory comparisons, and evaluate contaminated volumes and management scenarios.
• Advise design and construction teams on the management of excavated soils, dewatering effluents, residual materials, and railway materials; develop management strategies (upfront characterization, lot segmentation, traceability, reuse/disposal, logistics).
• Support the acquisition of federal, provincial, and municipal permits, liaise with authorities, and prepare compliance documentation.

Technical competencies:

• Strong command of applicable Québec and federal standards and guidance (EQA and regulations, MELCCFP guides, CCME, site assessment guidelines, soil/groundwater criteria, residual materials management, and construction H&S).
• Proven skills in sampling program design, hydrogeology, geochemical interpretation, and uncertainty management.
• Experience managing subcontractors, controlling costs/schedules, and producing certified deliverables.
• ASP Construction card and railway safety training, an asset.

• Clear verbal and written communication skills, both in French and in English*

*Reasons for requiring bilingualism: You will have the opportunity to work with a varied clientele, including both French- and English-speaking companies.
