After close to two decades in the environmental space, Erin has built a career defined by curiosity, range, and a deep-rooted drive to protect the planet. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Erin is a senior project manager and environmental engineer whose work now spans large hydrogeological and groundwater programmes, a long way from the contaminated sites where she started out.
After close to two decades in the environmental space, Erin has built a career defined by curiosity, range, and a deep‑rooted drive to protect the planet. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Erin is a senior project manager and environmental engineer whose work now spans large hydrogeological and groundwater programmes, a long way from the contaminated sites where she started out.
We sat down with Erin to hear how her career has evolved, what makes the environment practice tick, and why she believes the best is still ahead for environmental work.
A career shaped by passion and the freedom to grow
Erin’s path into environmental engineering started early. “I’ve had a passion for the natural world and a need to protect the environment since I was very young,” she says. When it came to choosing a career, the connection felt obvious, a chance to channel that concern into something tangible.For much of her career, Erin worked hands‑on across contaminated sites, building deep technical expertise in a field where precision and rigour matter. But since joining AtkinsRéalis, her career has taken a different shape. She’s shifted towards project management, moving across a more diverse range of environmental projects than she’d previously been exposed to, including the large‑scale groundwater and hydrogeological programmes she leads today.
It’s the kind of career evolution that happens when you’re given the space to grow beyond your original specialism. As Erin puts it, the move opened up entirely new areas of the environmental field and allowed her to contribute in ways she hadn’t before.
A team culture built on collaboration and continuous improvement
Ask Erin to describe her team in three words and she doesn’t hesitate: excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
“We are always supporting team members in creating, contributing, and actualising their potential,” she says. “Our excellence shines through only when we work together and support each other.” It’s a team that asks itself constantly how it can do better, for each other and for the clients they serve.
That collaborative culture matters in environmental work, where the challenges are complex, the stakes are real, and the best outcomes come from bringing different perspectives together.
The work ahead and why it matters
Erin is optimistic about where environmental work is heading. Carbon emissions are coming down. Reforestation is gaining ground. Air pollution is being addressed in ways that weren’t happening a generation ago. And within AtkinsRéalis, the breadth of the company’s work, from nuclear supporting governments in reaching net zero targets, to the environmental programmes Erin leads, means the impact is being felt across multiple fronts.“It’s the relentlessness of people working in the environmental space,” she says. “As technology improves, we are only going to see more and more progress.”
For anyone considering joining the practice, Erin’s advice is simple: follow your passion and be authentic. “Work in this field is often altruistic in nature,” she says, “and letting your passion and concern show will draw people to you and make you someone others want to work with.”
