Duties

Parks Canada is seeking an action-oriented, collaborative, and experienced leader to join the Nunavut Field Unit management team as Resource Conservation Manager III (PM06). This role offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated and dedicated leader passionate about conservation and Indigenous colloaborations to meaningfully contribute the development and implementation of resource management programs in the Canadian Arctic.

The Resource Conservation Manager is a key leadership position at Sirmilk National Park and Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area. The position is responsible for overseeing a broad area of responsibility that includes planning, coordination and managing the development and delivery of resource conservation programs for these sites aligned with the Agency’s mandate for natural and cultural heritage protection and quality visitor experiences. You will lead ecosystem-based management programs including monitoring for Ecological Integrity, environmental and impact assessment, and scientific and environmental research activities. Additionally, you will support the implementation of cross-functional risk management and incident response approaches for public safety and the management of on-site activities. The program and operational challenges you will address are characterized by high complexity and scope.

Inuit and Parks Canada manage Sirmilik National Park and Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area cooperatively. Your role will be key in maintaining these relationships and ensuring collaborative, respectful, and effective stewardship and management of these sites. You will manage a diverse team of ecologists, resource conservation officers, and visitor safety coordinators working along side Inuit communities and organizations, federal, provincial and territorial government agencies, stakeholders, and non-government organizations. The work involves both office-based leadership and occasional travel into field sites to see and enjoy the spectacular landscapes, fantastic projects and outstanding team members.

Work environment

Parks Canada Agency is a federal government agency responsible for the protection and presentation of Canada’s natural and cultural resources through a system of national parks, national marine conservation areas and national historic sites in all regions of Canada.

In Nunavut, Inuit and Parks Canada cooperatively manage five national parks, one national historic site and one national marine conservation area. They are: Auyuittuq National Park, Sirmilik National Park, Qausuittuq National Park, Quttinirpaaq National Park, Ukkusiksalik National Park, the Wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site and Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area. Long before these areas received federal protection, Inuit lived, harvested and travelled these lands and waters. Many staff have connections to these places through their families and ancestors. To this day, harvesting and use by Inuit remains a protected right under the Nunavut Agreement. As a Parks Canada team member in Nunavut, you will help protect, present and share these incredible places so they remain for generations, by implementing the Nunavut Agreement and Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreements.

Diversity and inclusion have always been at the core of our values. Diverse teams bring different perspectives and creative ideas that benefit our clients, the communities we serve and all of us as colleagues. We welcome applications from individuals with diverse abilities and from all backgrounds and identities.
