Permanent, full-time (35 hours/week)

$92,274.00 - $115.333.40 per annum

At the City of Leduc, our mission is Building a connected community for all people. We offer a collaborative and dynamic workplace where our values of Teamwork, Service, Respect and Leadership guide our conduct and contribute to a healthy culture. If you would like to work as part of a progressive organization and enjoy a fast-paced environment, then this may be the opportunity for you.

Come work with us!

At the City of Leduc, environmental stewardship is more than a strategy, it's a shared commitment. Our Environment team is a close-knit, collaborative group that works together to deliver meaningful projects that support a sustainable, resilient, and thriving community.

We're looking for more than a technical expert. We're looking for someone who values teamwork, enjoys building strong relationships, and takes pride in helping others succeed. Our team shares knowledge freely, supports one another's projects, and works together to solve complex challenges. Success in this role comes from a combination of technical expertise, leadership, accountability, and a genuine commitment to collaboration.

As our next Environmental Project Manager, you'll play a central role in advancing the City's environmental priorities. From climate readiness and waste reduction initiatives to contaminated site management and environmental planning, your work will directly influence how our community grows and adapts for years to come.

What is the Opportunity?

Reporting to the Manager, Environment, the Environmental Project Manager is responsible for leading the implementation of key environmental initiatives that support the City's long-term sustainability goals. This includes advancing priorities related to waste reduction, climate adaptation, water conservation, integrated pest management, contaminated sites, and environmental monitoring.

This role requires a balance of technical knowledge, project management, and relationship-building. You will work closely with colleagues across Engineering, Planning, Public Services, and other departments while also collaborating with businesses, residents, consultants, regulatory agencies, and regional partners. Your ability to build trust, influence stakeholders, and move projects forward will be just as important as your technical expertise.

As a key environmental leader within the organization, you will help turn approved plans into measurable results while providing sound environmental advice, supporting informed decision-making, and contributing to a stronger future for the City of Leduc.

What will you do?

• Lead the implementation of environmental initiatives that support the City's Environmental Plan, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan, Weather & Climate Readiness Plan, and other sustainability strategies.
• Work directly with businesses, property managers, condominium boards, and waste service providers to advance waste diversion and waste reduction programs throughout the community.
• Coordinate environmental site assessments, groundwater monitoring programs, contaminated site investigations, and remediation projects for municipal properties.
• Support environmental planning by reviewing biophysical assessments, area structure plans, and subdivision applications while providing recommendations to internal stakeholders.
• Oversee the Leduc Environmental Advisory Board by attending meetings and overseeing all projects
• Collaborate with Engineering and operational departments to implement initiatives related to climate adaptation, stormwater resilience, integrated pest management, water conservation, invasive species prevention, and salt management.
• Represent the City of Leduc at regional committees, stakeholder groups, working groups, and industry meetings focused on environmental sustainability and best practices.
• Manage environmental consulting projects, including project scoping, procurement processes, consultant selection, contract administration, and technical review of deliverables.
• Research funding opportunities and assist with grant applications that support environmental initiatives and long-term sustainability objectives.
• Provide leadership, mentorship, and technical guidance to the Environmental Inspector while fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment.

Who you are?

You enjoy bringing people together, navigating competing priorities, and helping teams achieve shared goals. You are accountable, approachable, and committed to delivering high-quality work that benefits both the organization and the community. You bring:

• A Bachelor of Science, Environmental degree, or technical Environmental diploma from a recognized institution.
• A minimum of five (5) years of experience in environmental, municipal, engineering, consulting, or infrastructure-related project work.
• A minimum of two (2) years of project management experience coordinating multiple stakeholders, priorities, budgets, and timelines.

• Experience working with consultants and preparing requests for proposals
• A collaborative mindset and a genuine willingness to support teammates, mentor others, share knowledge, and contribute to overall team success.
• The ability to build strong relationships, navigate challenging conversations professionally, and earn the trust of diverse stakeholders.
• Sound judgment, strong accountability, and a demonstrated commitment to following through on commitments and delivering results.

Experience with municipal environmental programs, environmental regulations, GIS, AutoCAD, water modelling software, sanitary sewer modelling software, or grant funding programs would be considered assets.
