Remote Data Science Music Jobs in Calgary, AB (NOW HIRING)

Are you someone passionate about reshaping the mining industry from early-stage planning to relinquishment and making a positive impact through rehabilitation and reclamation work? 

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you. We are growing and are on the lookout for a Junior or Intermediate Consultant (Environmental Scientist) to join our dynamic team. Come be a part of a visionary journey that is all about making a positive impact. This role is open to our Calgary office, hybrid working arrangements are available.   

At Okane, we believe that integrated mine and closure planning is just the starting point to ‘Help Create a Better Tomorrow’. We work with mining companies to return land responsibly and safely, enabling what comes next to serve both people and the planet. Our work challenges the status quo — we advocate for meaningful partnerships with communities, including Indigenous rightsholders, and design solutions that create lasting financial, environmental, and social value. From early-stage planning through to relinquishment, we’re helping reshape the future of mining — and we’re looking for people who want to be part of that transformation. 

You enjoy the variety that comes with environmental consulting. One week you may be developing technical reports and planning field programs from the office; the next you could be working in a remote mountain valley, traversing reclaimed landscapes, or collecting data in northern Canada. You understand that the best environmental decisions are made by those who have experienced the landscape firsthand and enjoy balancing technical office work with time in the field. 

Responsibilities:

In this role, you will assist in the development of Okane’s Rehabilitation and Reclamation group by contributing ideas and supporting efforts to help our clients manage risks related to mine closure in standard and creative ways. 

Your work will include: 

• Supporting the planning and execution of environmental field programs, including soil, vegetation, groundwater, surface water, and material characterization investigations.  

• Preparing clear, high-quality technical reports, work plans, and supporting documentation for mine closure, reclamation, and environmental management projects.  

• Interpreting field observations and technical data to support practical, science-based solutions for our clients.  

• Working collaboratively with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams to coordinate field activities and support successful project delivery.  

• Contributing to reclamation and revegetation planning, monitoring, and implementation across projects at various stages of the mine life cycle.  

• Taking ownership of your work by identifying issues early, contributing practical ideas, and continuously developing your technical and consulting skills. 

Expectations for this Role:

• Embody Okane's Core Vision ("Help Create a Better Tomorrow") and consistently demonstrate our Core Values: Passionate, Smart & Clever, Positive, Thoughtful & Caring, and Humble.  

• You enjoy taking projects from planning through completion. Whether preparing for a field program, coordinating logistics, collecting data, or preparing a technical report, you take pride in delivering high-quality work and seeing tasks through to completion.  

• You are ready to step into the role of the primary field resource when field programs arise, taking ownership of their planning, coordination, and successful execution.  

• You're the type of consultant who enjoys understanding the "why" behind the work. Rather than simply collecting data, you take the time to understand what it means, recognize when something doesn't look right, and develop practical solutions before seeking direction. 

• You enjoy working directly with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams. You recognize that successful consulting is built on professionalism, reliability, and following through on your commitments.  

• Whether you're in the office or on site, you recognize that safety is part of every decision and actively contribute to Okane's health, safety, and environmental culture. 

Qualifications:

• A degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Geology, Earth Sciences, Soil Science, Ecology, Reclamation, or a related discipline.  

• Two or more years of environmental consulting experience, including groundwater monitoring, contaminated site assessment and remediation, site reclamation, vegetation assessments, and related environmental field programs is considered an asset 

• Experience preparing high-quality technical reports, work plans, and project documentation.  

• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  

• Experience using ArcGIS Pro or QGIS to support environmental mapping and data management is considered an asset.  

• Experience managing small projects, coordinating field programs, and monitoring project budgets is considered an asset.  

• A valid Class 5 driver's licence, with experience safely operating 4×4 pickup trucks and navigating remote resource roads.  

• The ability to travel to project sites across Canada, including remote locations.  

• Eligibility for, or actively working towards, a relevant professional or technical designation (e.g., P.Ag., P.Geo., P.Biol or equivalent.
