At EY, were all in to shape your future with confidence.

Well help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.

Join EY and help to build a better working world.

The opportunity

EY has a well-established Climate Change and Sustainability practice to respond to our clients growing need of guidance in key areas, including social and environmental sustainability, climate change, sustainable finance, and environment, health & safety (EHS). Our services are varied, but include strategy and implementation, impact measurement, assessment of policies, programs and management systems, assurance over sustainability-related data and greenhouse gas emission verification.

We are looking to expand our team of professionals focused on providing high value, independent, trusted advice to our clients as they transition to a more sustainable economy. Our Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCASS) team is growing exponentially, and as a Senior Manager, youll play a key role in that growth with the provision of EHS advisory services. Working across many industries, youll develop your career by communicating creative, strategic goals both internally and externally. Its all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there really are no off-the-shelf recommendations.

Your key responsibilities

As a Senior Manager, you will lead complex EHS advisory engagements from early scoping through to delivery and client outcomes, operating across strategy, assessment, and implementation mandates. Given the breadth and variability of the work, no two projects will be the same—you will be expected to think critically, navigate ambiguity, and challenge existing practices to develop practical, business-driven solutions to complex issues. You will act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, structuring problems, facilitating alignment, and translating technical EHS considerations into clear business impacts and decision-ready recommendations. The role offers exposure to a diverse range of engagements spanning operations, risk, and digital enablement, requiring strong collaboration across service lines to bring integrated solutions to clients. You will also play a key role in building client relationships, identifying opportunities to expand engagements, and delivering high-quality outputs. Regular travel across Canada (approximately 30-40%) will be required to work closely with clients, including engagement with senior leadership teams across industries, some of those being the most respected in their fields.
