Engineering Manager

Be part of positive social and environmental change.

We are Salish Elements, an Indigenous owned green hydrogen development company, making a reliable green hydrogen fuel supply network a reality in British Columbia. We are constructing our first green hydrogen production facility, and we need your help. Salish Elements is building an in-house engineering team to complete the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) and detailed engineering of a 25MW green hydrogen production facility in British Columbia, as well as take on additional work as the company grows.

The facility is a first-of-its-kind Indigenous owned electrolytic hydrogen plant near Lillooet, B.C, in the territory of the Xaxli’p community, who are part of St'át'imc Nation.

What you can expect working for Salish Elements:

Independence in role: We are in the early stages of building our internal team and company culture. Take part in establishing and being part of a working community where your voice isn’t just heard but is also an integral part of our operations.

Flexible time off: We work when there is work to do and do not search for busy work. We strive to provide an environment that encourages work-life balance.

A great mission and vision: to be an example of the way business can be done in British Columbia by respecting the land and people connected to a development project in tangible, real-life ways. You can be part of social change for the better, just by doing what you do best as an engineering expert.

Competitive salaries and benefits: We understand the need for solid wages and health care coverage. Rent in B.C. is not cheap. Working for positive social impact and positive change does not mean you need to sacrifice good pay. When combined with a healthy work-life balance, our pay will compete and beat other career opportunities.

Qualified candidates will have professional licensing as engineers (P. Eng) for engineering positions or Project Management in Canada, some experience in the energy industry and gas plants, a real desire to bring green hydrogen technologies forward to everyday life and be excited to think creatively to implement engineering solutions in integrated ways with sustainable construction.
