The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is the lead intermunicipal agency working to address river-related environmental issues and concerns within the Rideau Valley watershed. Thanks to our many partners, the scope of our conservation work includes planning, source water protection, tackling flooding and erosion problems and researching water movement and use in the valley. We help people maintain healthy shorelines, provide advice on development-related issues and report to municipalities, agencies and the public about watershed conditions and trends. We also provide public access to natural waterfront areas, deliver community-based stewardship programs, reduce water pollution and protect fish and wildlife habitat.
The Director of Watershed Science and Engineering is responsible for leading a team of highly skilled professional staff including engineers, scientists and technicians to support RVCA’s science and engineering programs which include: flood forecasting and warning; natural hazard identification and management; drinking water source protection; watershed modeling; monitoring and reporting of hydrometric conditions, surface water quality, aquatic habitat and groundwater; water and erosion control infrastructure; and technical reviews that support land use planning and development review.
As the ideal candidate, you hold an engineering degree in water resources, environmental or related discipline and you have a strong understanding of groundwater, surface water and aquatic habitat resources. You are a licensed professional engineer in Ontario and you bring ten years of related experience. You have strong people management and leadership skills, familiarity with relevant legislation, excellent communication and presentation skills, success cultivating strong relationships with stakeholders and partners, and a strong desire to inspire and lead a dynamic team of professionals driven to deliver high quality programs and serve the needs of our municipalities, partners and the public.
