Watershed Enhancement Team Leader at Dillon Consulting Ltd in Richmond, BC

Alexandra holding a shovel and smiling.

I am working as Watershed Enhancement Team leader for Dillon Consulting in the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program with the City of Surrey. My primary objective is restoring salmon habitat by removing invasives, planting natives, and conducting instream work. This job has taught me many transferable skills such as project management. It has also allowed me to grow as a leader by hiring, training, and supervising highschool crew members. While my primary responsibilities entail extensive fieldwork, I also actively participate in community outreach initiatives, write comprehensive reports, and help out at salmon hatcheries.
