• Conduct building assessments for hazardous materials and designated substances (including asbestos, lead, and mould), using appropriate tools and equipment to safely collect representative samples from building materials.
  
• Provide on-site inspection and oversight during hazardous materials remediation projects, including contractor monitoring, air sampling, and site reporting to support regulatory and industry best-practice compliance.
  
• Participate in occupational exposure assessments for chemical, biological, and physical hazards across a range of workplace settings, helping clients better understand and manage worker exposures.
  
• Assist with indoor air quality and potable/drinking water quality investigations, documenting conditions and contributing to practical, evidence-based recommendations.
  
• Analyze airborne fibre samples and document, interpret, and report results as part of asbestos and related assessment programs.
  
• Prepare clear and technically sound reports and data summaries based on detailed field notes, supporting project teams and clients in informed decision-making.
  
• Build and maintain positive working relationships with colleagues and clients, representing WSP professionally on-site and in meetings, while supporting a strong health and safety culture.

• Experience in consulting or relevant education in occupational hygiene, environmental science, construction, or a related field, along with an interest in ongoing learning and professional development.
  
• Understanding of occupational health and safety, construction, and environmental legislation in Ontario, with the ability to apply regulatory requirements in practical settings.
  
• Experience or familiarity with hazardous materials and designated substances (e.g., building surveys, asbestos abatement monitoring, mould or lead assessments), and ideally exposure to airborne fibre sample analysis.
  
• Comfort working with data and digital tools, including proficiency with Microsoft Excel for managing and analyzing field and sampling data.
  
• Ability to use tools and equipment as part of fieldwork activities, which may include working at heights (e.g., ladders) and handling equipment or samples (with accommodations available where needed).
  
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to work both independently in the field and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
  
• Willingness to travel within the GTA and across Ontario, including occasional overnight stays and some weekend work as project needs arise; access to transportation and eligibility for Federal Reliability and/or Secret Clearance are required.
