What you'll do

This unique, once-in-a-career opportunity allows you to assess the response of an aquatic ecosystem to a new
hydroelectric facility and reservoir environment, and evaluate the effectiveness of Canada’s largest habitat offsets in the
reservoir and Peace River.

Reporting to BC Hydro’s Environment group, the Site C Clean Energy Project’s (the Project) Fish and Aquatic Team seeks
an experienced professional with a strong technical background in fisheries biology, effects assessment, effectiveness
monitoring and facilitation. This role involves collaborating with BC Hydro staff, consultants, regulatory agencies,
construction contractors and Treaty 8 First Nations of Dunne Zaa, Cree and Tse'khene cultural descent to design and
oversee fish and aquatic habitat mitigation, fish passage management and monitoring programs. These programs support
compliance with the Project’s permits, approvals and authorizations for fish and fish habitat.

The successful candidate will:

Serve as a subject matter expert for the Project’s diverse fish and aquatic programs recognizing environmental risks,

regulatory compliance, business requirements, and opportunities.

Implement a strategic approach for planning, delivering and communicating programs to demonstrate compliance with fish

abundance-based targets as required by the Project’s Fisheries Act authorization and related permits and approvals.

Synthesize data and information across the fish and aquatic program, the largest effectiveness monitoring undertaken by

BC Hydro at a generating station.

Lead and facilitate external committees with multiple stakeholders to advance program activities.

Engage with Indigenous Nations on programs and support their participation in the programs. Create meaningful space for

traditional knowledge and western science in the implementation and outcomes of programs.

Maintain strong working relationships with regulatory agencies and communicate monitoring results in the context of

regulatory compliance.

Support the maintenance of habitat offsets in the reservoir and Peace River.

Manage consultant contracts, including developing terms of reference, monitoring plans, evaluating proposals, and

overseeing budgets and deliverables to meet the project timelines.

Collaborate with other teams at BC Hydro (e.g., Indigenous Relations, Engineering, Construction Management,

Generation System Operations) to effectively plan program activities.

The successful candidate will have experience in the following key areas:

Environmental management, including fisheries biology with emphasis on freshwater populations of resident species,

preferably those in northeastern British Columbia (e.g., Bull Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Kokanee).

Assessing and managing the effects of hydroelectric developments and operations on fish and aquatic ecosystems.

Experience managing the effects of hydroelectric developments on terrestrial, vegetation and wildlife communities is an
asset.

Managing compliance with Fisheries Act authorizations.

Assessing, managing, and clearly communicating risk and complex technical topics to diverse, internal and external

audiences and decision makers.

Designing and implementing adaptive mitigation and monitoring programs focusing on the effects of hydroelectric

developments on fish and fish habitat, including the productivity of aquatic and riparian ecosystems.

Contract and project management, quality assurance.

Working with regulatory agencies, Indigenous Nations, and academia to facilitate partnerships and agreements.

Facilitating and leading committees and multi-disciplinary teams.

A Bachelor's degree relevant to biology, ecology, environmental engineering, or natural resource management (or an

equivalent combination of qualifications and experience). A Masters degree would be considered an asset.

The successful candidate must be a Registered Professional Biologist (RPBio) with the College of Applied Biologists in

British Columbia or demonstrate eligibility for registration as an RPBio with the College.

Minimum of eight (8) years of relevant subject matter experience, which may include: environmental mitigation program

design and implementation, environmental monitoring program design and implementation, federal and provincial
environmental assessment and permitting. Fisheries assessment and management related to hydroelectric developments
would be seen as an asset.

Additional relevant experience may include: water quality and aquatic productivity assessments, fish population modelling,

vegetation and wildlife mitigation and monitoring, project management, contract management, engagement with Indigenous
Nations, and environmental management of construction.

Technical skills and experience may include specialized software skills (e.g., database management, statistical analysis),

regulatory permitting, contract management, technical writing and editing.

Must be available for travel.

Strong technical communication, research, writing and editing skills.

A valid Class 5 driver's license in good standing.
