Job Postings

This just in: 

If you are looking to get into renewable energy, this role is not for you. If you are already in wind energy and have a couple of good projects under your belt, then this is probably worth taking at a look at.

This company is small but has been in the business for 20 years. They have a great reputation and intend to keep it that way. Project Managers have a lot of responsibility and are expected to keep an eye on the stakeholders, the finances, the risks and of course, the timeline.

The first project is a wind farm with several key challenges: location and neighbours. There is lots of in house support but it will be up to the Project Manager to keep all the balls in the air and everything moving forward.  Click here to get started.

To Procure: to obtain or get by care, effort, or the use of special means

Purchasing today is a pretty demanding place to work.  Systems are changing, pressure is increasing and vendors have to be held more and more accountable.  Good sourcing depends on a blend of creativity, relationship building and nerves of steel.   Being able to manage and mentor a strong team just makes the whole thing better.

Procurement Manager

Successfully driving the purchasing function of a highly complex scientific organization is tough but really rewarding. Dollars are dollars and everyone can appreciate it when fewer dollars are used to run the facility.

Consider the other benefits of this challenging role:  rural setting, highly educated community, above average salary, secure pension, affordable housing and a clearly laid out career path.

If your next career move involves being part of a team that is progressive and has high standards of personal and customer accountability, then we should probably talk.  Click here to the ball rolling
