TECAS IS HIRING!

---

TECAS is a place to feed interest and passion by learning, producing excellent work, developing expertise while collaborating with other professionals, and truly participating in ownership and growth in a workplace that advances science while putting people first.

Upcoming opportunities to conduct primary research on water quality and all trophic levels in freshwaters provide the opportunity for TECAS to hire full-time team leaders in environmental chemistry and aquatic ecology. 

The ideal candidates will be:

• An intermediate to senior aquatic ecologist / fish habitat biologist / regulatory specialist with sufficient experience to lead regulatory permitting for diverse projects in water, including habitat offsetting projects to support Fisheries Act authorizations. This candidate would have knowledge and interest in lower trophic levels in lake and river environments.
• A junior to intermediate environmental chemist / toxicologist with experience designing and conducting field studies and writing reports. This candidate would have knowledge and interest in freshwater ecology at all trophic levels.

Successful applicants will require excellent field skills and aptitudes that will include physical strength and mindfulness to care for valuable electronic instruments while operating equipment such as boats, motors and trailers (even in inclement weather, if necessary).

Writing skills are highly valued, as all team members will lead or contribute to report writing in the projects they’re involved in.

The successful candidates will work together, with growing responsibility, in all aspects of the work from study design to field studies to report writing and publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals, with support and oversight by senior staff. Upcoming work includes the design, conduct and publication of primary research on emerging technologies in water quality management. Current projects include effluent receiving stream studies with water quality modeling, nutrient budgets and algae studies, and fish habitat-related projects including habitat enhancement at a stream channel realignment.

The successful candidates will work primarily from home with flexible hours but will have access to home-based office and laboratory space in central Winnipeg. Field work will comprise shorter, more focused studies with more variety than much of the consulting industry offers.

The positions will be formed around the capabilities, experience levels, and interests of the selected applicants. As opportunities develop, the employees will be offered mentorship, responsibility, project management and leadership opportunities commensurate with their expertise, level of experience and ability to work independently.

TECAS is a place of continual learning and professional development where committed employees have true opportunity for ownership. We uphold tenets of integrity of character and care for people as people. We believe in advancing science and promoting its practical application across the geographical and regulatory landscapes. Whatever skills and interests you might have, we can probably use and develop them!
