SENIOR ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER:- To meet the expanding demand for services, SHA has an immediate opening for a talented and motivated engineer with a degree in civil, geotechnical or environmental engineering and specific experience in landfill design and/or civil earthworks.  Preference will be given to candidates that have experience with landfill gas control and greenhouse gas emissions analysis relating to solid waste management.  As a project manager and design team leader you must have excellent communication and writing skills, and an ability to manage multi-disciplinary teams toward a common objective.

The successful candidate will share technical and administrative responsibilities of project execution, staff supervision, report review and business development with the President, Dr. Tony Sperling, P.Eng.

 The responsibilities include:

• Managing landfill engineering projects (e.g. closure designs, leachate collection and treatment system designs, landfill gas collection system design, design and operations plans, tender packages, feasibility studies relating to GHG mitigation and solid waste management etc.)

Typically, assignments will be only a few days out of town at any time; however, opportunities may arise that require the candidate to be away from home for longer periods of time.

Base salary ranges from $85,000 to $130,000 commensurate with qualifications and experience and in addition to this SHA rewards exemplary efforts of staff with an annual bonus based on individual merit and company performance.  We also provide an attractive benefits package and a friendly, low key work environment.  Factoring this in, OTE could be in the range of $105,000 to $165,000.
