Be at the forefront of Canada’s clean energy future.

Are you ready to shape the next chapter in tidal energy innovation? FORCE - the Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy, is seeking a Director of Science and Environmental Programs to help lead our mission at a pivotal moment for Canada’s renewable energy landscape. With new momentum from the federal Task Force for Sustainable Tidal Energy, world-leading tidal technologies on the horizon, and upcoming project opportunities at our test site, this is a rare chance to influence real change in a sector on the rise.

As Canada’s lead research facility for tidal stream energy, our site supports industry and innovators by providing the electrical and marine infrastructure needed to test and connect tidal technologies to the grid. Our work focuses on advancing applied ocean science, assessing environmental effects, and building trusted partnerships across industry, research, community, and government.

We’re looking for a strategic thinker with deep technical expertise, scientific curiosity, and strong leadership instincts. The role provides a blend of on-site presence at our FORCE test site in Parrsboro and within our Dartmouth office, as needed to support project delivery, fieldwork coordination, and team collaboration. If you're ready to contribute to a more sustainable energy future and thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven environment, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact where the tides meet innovation.
