The Opportunity

Help Drive the Growth Behind Some of Canada's Most Impactful Projects

WSP's Earth & Environment (E&E) business is growing across Ontario and Atlantic Canada, and we're looking for a strategic sales leader who knows how to build relationships, identify opportunities, and win work.

You'll play a key role in shaping WSP's growth strategy, partnering with regional leaders, technical experts, and client teams to drive revenue, strengthen key accounts, and lead major pursuits across sectors including Energy, Mining, Industry, Infrastructure, Municipal Government, and Defence. Your work will directly influence where WSP invests, how we position ourselves in the market, and how we secure the projects that help shape communities across Canada.

This is more than a business development role. It's an opportunity to lead growth, influence strategy, build high-performing pursuit teams, and help WSP remain the partner of choice for clients tackling some of the country's most complex environmental and infrastructure challenges.
