Cataraqui Conservation is seeking an inspiring leader who will be the champion that fosters a team culture and leads us to achieve our vision. The goals of that vision are to ensure that the natural environment of our watersheds will be conserved, that degraded natural resources will be restored, that our regional diversity will be valued by the watershed residents and that the public will understand their role in environmental protection and conservation.

If you can see yourself enabling Cataraqui Conservation’s vision, then you should consider this employment opportunity. What do we expect of you? You are an excellent communicator, a responsive and creative problem solver, financially astute, an on-going learner and have strong interpersonal skills.

Rounding out your background is current knowledge of trends relevant to community sustainability and strategic management, demonstrated administrative and partnership accomplishments, related education, demonstrated interest in natural resources conservation and proficiency using technology. This role requires flexibility to work irregular hours and the ability to travel throughout the region on a regular basis.

Our watershed is of unrivaled beauty, with a new administration office located in Kingston, Ontario. The region we serve offers a mix of natural and cultural experiences throughout its area along Lake Ontario, the St Lawrence River and numerous inland lakes, including the UNESCO designated Frontenac Arch Biosphere and Rideau Canal.
