As a member of the dynamic Project Environmental Risk Management team in this project delivery-oriented role you will
provide environmental support, as Environmental Work Package Manager (EWPM), on complex BC Hydro capital projects.
The scope includes navigating federal and provincial environmental regulatory processes, and preparing or managing the
preparation of information related to potential environmental and socio- economic effects of projects. EWPMs are
responsible for the scope, schedule, budget and cost of their work package. The EWPM is expected to have expertise, and
a working knowledge of all, disciplines within the scope of the work package, and should consult with subject matter experts
within the Environment department as required, while acting as the single environmental point of contact for the project or
portfolio of projects.
Close collaboration with our Indigenous Relations (IR) counterparts is essential to developing accurate project schedules
and appropriately scaling and delivering the respective scopes of work. To achieve this, the EWPM works closely with IR on
those tasks and deliverables (e.g. environmental plans, studies, monitoring) in which Indigenous communities may have an
interest in being involved.
In addition, this role will support strengthening our relationships with existing clients by working collaboratively on project
teams, developing and/or delivering environmental training, and proposing new ways to better meet our clients’ needs.
Applicants should be knowledgeable of relevant standards, policies, practices and procedures, and have the ability to
exercise independent judgment in analysis and problem solving for highly complex and medium scope projects. The ability
to communicate clearly and confidently and show leadership is essential, including adapting personal communication style
to meet the needs of the audience, and anticipating reactions or questions in advance. All team members are expected to
act from the perspective of a “One Hydro” approach by offering to lend a hand to help others, and coaching others on
application of business knowledge.
Duties may include, but are not limited to:
- Selecting, contracting and managing consultants, as/when required, to assist with the environmental scope of work, as
appropriate during all project phases.
- Strategically advising project teams on internal recommendation documents, including budget requests, contract requests,
alternatives evaluations, business cases, and overall environmental strategy.
- Writing or leading development of project environmental requirements, including appropriately- scaled assessments of
potential project effects on fish and fish habitat, water quality and flow, wildlife, hazardous waste management,
contaminated sites, socioeconomic interests, and archaeological and heritage resources.
- Advising project teams on ways to assess and address Indigenous, public, and stakeholder concerns around project
environmental risks.
- Acquiring all environmental regulatory permits, including liaising/negotiating with regulators as required, and advising
