Negotiations with local governments may include sharing of aggregate resources, purchasing of aggregate material, and issuing permits to use Ministry aggregate sources.
You will supervise, train and evaluate the performance of aggregate resource staff, consultants and contractors in methods and techniques associated with aggregate resource management relating to source investigations, lab and field testing procedures, GPS survey practices, and drafting standards. You will perform desk top reviews using satellite and air photo land form analysis. You will travel to various gravel sources in the Province, often independently, to perform visual inspections and/or for meetings with staff and clients.
