Environmental Data Manager - Water Quality
My client is a 100% Canadian environmental consulting firm seeking an Environmental Data Manager to support water quality monitoring and modelling projects. You’ll work with scientists, engineers, modellers and project managers to turn laboratory and field results into reliable datasets for analysis, modelling and reporting.
You’ll deliver complete, consistent datasets that project teams can use for water quality analysis, modelling and reporting. You’ll catch missing records, inconsistent units and other data quality issues before they affect project work, and document corrections so others can trace results back to the source. You’ll clearly flag results that exceed applicable guidelines, permit limits or site-specific thresholds, and make recurring reports easier to update by documenting workflows and helping automate routine steps.
As you build experience, you’ll be encouraged to take on more responsibility and explore work that aligns with your interests and strengths. Depending on your expertise and project needs, that could mean moving into data analysis or modelling, taking on broader responsibility for internal databases and data quality, or developing a technical specialization in water quality science or geochemistry.
Office-based in Vancouver, BC
Salary: $55k - $75k DOE, plus health benefits, RRSP matching, annual performance bonuses (The final salary will reflect the qualifications, relevant experience, expertise, and professional designations that each candidate brings to the role. Individuals who offer additional strengths or bring exceptional value to the team will be considered for compensation beyond the stated range, as our client recognizes and rewards unique contributions.)
Responsibilities:
