Full-Time Natural Resources Positions (Based in Williams Lake, BC)

Williams Lake First Nation is hiring two full-time positions within WLFN's Natural Resources Department: 

  • Wildlife Stewardship Coordinator: This role will lead development of a community-driven Hunting and Conservation Framework, and work on wildlife conservation, species at risk, caribou recovery, and habitat protection. The position involves close collaboration with Elders to integrate Secwépemc knowledge systems alongside Western science, as well as working with provincial, federal, and industry partners. Educational backgrounds in wildlife biology, environmental science, forestry, or Indigenous-led conservation are highly applicable.
  • Regulatory Engagement Coordinator: This position supports WLFN’s engagement in provincial and federal regulatory processes and consultation on land and resource decisions. This includes managing referrals, tracking consultation obligations, and supporting policy reform efforts related to Indigenous governance, resource management, and stewardship.

    Both positions offer competitive salaries ($52,500–$78,800/year), comprehensive benefits, relocation support, and an opportunity to directly advance Indigenous stewardship and governance.
