This is a full-time position with an excellent benefits package, 4 weeks vacation, employee and family assistance plan, half-day Fridays between Canada Day and Labour Day and an RRSP matching program. Salary range is $70K-$75K depending on experience. This role will be reporting to the Associate Programs Director.

Canada has a relatively clean electricity grid and the capacity to generate significantly more clean energy. But the steel industry hasn’t committed to net-zero, and progress on reducing emissions is spotty.&nbsp; Canadian steel makers could have a competitive advantage when it comes to clean steel, a product that will be in greater demand globally as the world seeks to decarbonize and reach net-zero emissions.
