About the Opportunity

This is a fixed-term, project-based opportunity with field work required in the Lac La Ronge area in Saskatchewan over the period of September to December 2026. Reporting to the Project Lead, the Building Condition Assessor will perform comprehensive condition assessments on a variety of residential property types for the purpose of identifying and reporting on building component condition and lifespan status. This role works alongside a Junior Assessor on-site, and remotely with a larger office-based team.
