  • Strong work ethic and initiative, able to effectively manage multiple priorities and adapt to change within a fast-paced environment
  • Supervisory and/or leadership experience, strong time management and organizational skills
  • Strong public relations, interpersonal, and communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Knowledge of ecological principles, ability to identify local native and invasive plants and common shade trees
  • Willingness to work occasional weekends and have full availability for the duration of the work-term (3 months)
  • Valid Class 5 BC driver’s license (or equivalent) with a safe driving history, and willingness to submit a driver’s abstract
  • Valid Level 1 First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain prior to the start of employment)

  • are between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of the employment
  • are currently enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary education program
  • are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of the employment
  • have a valid Social Insurance Number and be legally entitled to work in Canada and BC
