Job Summary
Bring your commitment to excellence in Natural Resource management practices
Overseeing a land base of 94.8 million hectares, the Ministry of Forests leads and delivers programs which ensure the sustainable management of BC's Natural Resources. Within this large, diverse and complex structure, the Compliance and Enforcement Branch (CEB) represents the law enforcement arm of the Ministry. CEB - a provincial line of sight program - applies over 50 acts and statutes to govern more than 1,200 Natural Resource authorizations; deploys Natural Resource operations teams to ensure compliance and enforcement of resource management laws; and protects the public's interest in the management of BC's diversity of Natural Resources.
The Natural Resource Officer (NRO) Supervisor plans and delivers on Compliance and Enforcement Branch operational priorities and authorizes all compliance and enforcement actions and activities within that jurisdiction. This position has delegated authority to plan, implement and oversee operational strategies and programs; supervise a medium-sized team (4-10 FTEs) of professional, technical and administrative staff; and, enforce legislation and legal agreements within the geographic area.
The NRO Supervisor manages significant, often urgent issues requiring carefully measured or strategized interventions, emergency responses and inter-agency operations (i.e. operations which are co-managed with the RCMP, Conservation Officer Service, etc.) within the area. Such issues may require the NRO Supervisor to operate in the capacity of Special Provincial Constable.

• Experience leading a work unit, including directly or indirectly planning, developing, implementing and managing strategic or operational goals, developing and managing a budget and supervising staff.
• Preference may be given to those with demonstrated experience in administrative law and court prosecutions.

Additional Requirements:
