Roles and Responsibilities

Technician. We want you to deal with the timelines logistics and mentoring the crew in
the office to complete the deliverables. Field time will mostly be a mentoring role with
both new hires and mentoring Sr techs on difficult ground. Thus as it is with most PM
jobs you will be required to develop project plans safety timelines budgets and
resource allocations (the regular stuff). As mentioned a big focus of your time will be
creating growing and mentoring your team.

planning and operational supervision. We work with all the major Licensees in the area;
KLC Atco Interfor and BCTS. We also provide services to other MoF departments such
