Job Description
What if you could redefine what’s possible? With us, you can.
You want Purpose. Growth. Opportunity. People who get it.
We are the home of ambitious, passionate, and innovative world shapers.
With an unmatched breadth and depth of engineering, advisory and science-based expertise, our global minds unite to power local solutions. We are pathfinders and impact makers.
We are
Visioneers . We are
WSP.
The Opportunity
Your Impact Starts Here — Are you ready to
own the growth agenda
for WSP’s Earth & Environment business across Western Canada?
This is the kind of role built for a true leader. This is your chance to set the vision and go-to-market direction, lead the strategic evolution of the business for long-term, sustainable growth, and stay client-facing as you develop and expand both new and existing WSP relationships.
And you’re not just here to “win” once, you’re here to
build something . With WSP’s depth of expertise behind you, you’ll turn trust into repeatable revenue by expanding key accounts, collaborating across sectors to deliver integrated solutions, and guiding operating plans, forecasts, and performance so growth is profitable and sustainable. You’ll do it while visibly championing HSEQ, inclusion/belonging, and ethics as non-negotiables—
because the strongest leaders don’t just close deals; they build enduring client partnerships & a legacy others want to follow.
Your Impact
Drive revenue growth by shaping and executing a business development strategy aligned with market conditions and organizational priorities.
Identify, qualify, and convert opportunities across our services for environmental assessment, permitting, remediation, geotechnical engineering, and occupational hygiene; in addition to expanding opportunities across our priority markets, energy, government and municipal, power, mining, water, and ports.
Lead market and competitive analysis, co‑chair Strategic Growth Committees, manage a disciplined regional pipeline, and take personal ownership of “must‑win” pursuits through robust capture planning.
Build and deepen relationships with clients, regulators, industry partners, and community stakeholders to expand WSP’s influence and market presence.
Lead high‑value client reviews, develop tools to showcase WSP’s comprehensive capabilities, and act as a trusted advisor who aligns client needs with impactful solutions.
Represent WSP at key industry events, conferences, and professional associations to strengthen visibility and trust.
Foster strong internal alignment by partnering with Indigenous Relations on key partnerships and collaborating with technical and operational leaders to advance competitive pursuits.
Enable enterprise‑wide growth by creating effective “front‑door” strategies, identifying cross‑selling pathways, and tracking client spend to reveal new opportunities.
Mentor teams in best‑in‑class business development practices, elevating proposal quality and client engagement.
Strengthen WSP’s market leadership through thought leadership, strategic networking, and outreach that positions WSP as the consultant of choice.
Support digital marketing, collateral development, and targeted campaigns that reinforce WSP’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and exceptional client service.
Champion a collaborative, solutions‑oriented approach that unites teams, breaks down barriers, and builds shared momentum across the business.
Accelerate market capture and deliver strong commercial performance by driving revenue growth, increasing pipeline and backlog, expanding client engagement, and elevating quantitative and qualitative client feedback.
The Skills That Set You Apart
10–20+ years of experience in demonstrated business development success.
Proven ability to build and maintain collaborative relationships with clients, regulators, and industry partners.
Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
Strategic thinker with the ability to translate market insights into actionable plans.
Experience leading teams and mentoring staff.
Proven track record in client development, capture planning, and securing opportunities.
Proven ability to open doors, build strong early‑stage relationships, and convert new prospects into long‑term strategic partners.
A natural connector who identifies opportunities, initiates conversations, and creates pathways for integrated WSP solutions.
