Opportunity profile
We are building our network of permitting and environmental approvals leaders for large-scale infrastructure and data centre development across North America.
You will have carried a major project through provincial or state environmental assessment, and you know the difference between a permitting schedule that is optimistic and one that is real. You hold the schedule as a critical-path item and defend it to the people who would rather believe the optimistic version.
