What will your typical day look like?

To face the country’s decarbonization challenges, the Government of Canada has announced 6 new investment tax credits for Clean Economy (“ITCs”):

• The Clean Technologies Investment Credit for wind, solar, storage, geothermal, non-road zero emission vehicles, biomass systems and other
• The Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit for electricity generation
• The Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit for hydrogen and ammonia production using electricity or natural gas
• The Clean Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit for clean technologies manufacturing, including battery manufacturing as well as extraction and processing of critical minerals.
• The Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Investment tax credit for carbon capture, utilization and storage.

Manager role:

Initially, through interaction with clients and the client service teams, you will be involved with consulting and preparing claims related to the new Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits. As these ITCs are relatively new, you will be involved in supporting leadership and senior practitioners as we refine operational practices, delivery approaches, and training junior team members. As you build skills and knowledge, your role will expand to leading or supporting key delivery aspects related to pre-claim consultations, claim preparation, audit defense, sales, and building deep client relationships. You will be challenged with more complex and strategic projects on the path to becoming a trusted business advisor, and to gain a broader view of business challenges and solutions beyond these ITCs. You will also have opportunities to lead and support sales as we grow our Clean Economy ITC practice.
