We are an environmentally friendly codling moth control program in the beautiful fruit growing region of the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. Since the Program started more than 20 years ago, the amount of pesticides used in the valley against codling moth has dropped by 96%. Our Program breeds and sterilizes codling moths at our state-of-the-art facility in Osoyoos, and we release them into orchards where they mate with wild moths to prevent the population from reproducing all over the Okanagan. Our Program also provides trapping and monitoring, education, and enforcement services for orchardists.

This position is based out of beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia. Working out of our Head Office located at the Regional District of the Central Okanagan on KLO Rd.

You will make important planning and strategic decisions for the success of each field season. You are the direct supervisor for (6) field supervisors and (2) urban supervisors and you will communicate daily with these staff. The Operations Manager works closely with the Program Entomologist to ensure program operations are scientifically sound, and they must maintain close working relationships with the rest of the senior leadership team including the Facility Manager and Office Manager. 

• Provide leadership for and oversee all aspects of the field program including transport and release of moths, collection of field data, ensuring grower and homeowner compliance.
• Work collaboratively with the senior leadership team to ensure the success of both the field operations and the OKSIR program as a whole.
• Ensure satellite field offices are safe and productive while fostering a positive and collaborative work environment through continuous communication and by promoting a culture of excellence.
• Forecast seasonal field requirements with detailed plans and work with the general manager to produce the annual field budget. Ensure field expenditures are in line with budgeted amounts.
• Lead team of field and urban supervisors, including hiring, training, motivating, daily supervision, and annual performance evaluations.
• Work with the Office Manager to manage the hiring and onboarding of seasonal field staff.
• Support field supervisors to trouble shooting operational challenges and emergency responses.
• Implement, regularly review, and when required, improve operational policies and procedures.

Full time, two-year term (with 6-month probation period) with possibility to be permanent.

Application deadline: April 26, 2024

The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) brings together 15 groups to research, monitor and raise awareness about issues relating to genetic engineering in food and farming, under our banner of “Collaborative Campaigning for Food Sovereignty and Environmental Justice.” CBAN members include farmer associations, environmental and social justice organizations, and regional coalitions of grassroots groups. CBAN is a project on the shared platform of the MakeWay Charitable Society. http://www.cban.ca

Are you committed to social and environmental justice? Do you want an opportunity to campaign to protect our food system and wild ecosystems from destructive corporate exploitation? If so, you may be interested in applying for CBAN’s campaigner position.

CBAN campaigns for environmental justice and food sovereignty through our focus on examining the ecological, social and economic impacts of genetic engineering. This position provides a unique opportunity to support groups and projects at the forefront of the struggle for food sovereignty in Canada and internationally. You will examine and respond to a diversity of issues raised by the use of genetic engineering. No formal scientific training is required.

Gain more campaign experience and skills, learn about genetic engineering, and be a part of a vibrant, positive community that values people and the planet. Be a leader in the campaign to stop genetic engineering.

CBAN is seeking a competent, committed and conscientious person with a strong work ethic and strong communication skills to lead the implementation of projects and campaign activities, and contribute to campaign strategies and movement vision.

You will work to strengthen the Canadian and international work to stop the use of genetic engineering (GE or genetic modification) and fight corporate control. The use of genetic engineering in food and farming is set to accelerate with the new techniques of gene editing, posing new challenges to farmers and consumers and intensifying the global conflict over the future of agriculture. The technology is also being proposed for release into the wild, posing new threats to ecosystems. For example, the release of GE forest trees poses irreversible environmental risks and represents a further threat to Indigenous sovereignty. The application of genetic engineering to trees, insects, and other organisms diverts our path away from climate justice, towards deeper corporate control over lives and livelihoods.

You will support movement-building through your research and advocacy, and by building relationships of mutual trust and respect with other groups and communities. You will work in solidarity with groups and communities across Canada and around the world. CBAN is looking for a courageous, positive person to cultivate relationships with Indigenous groups and other non-governmental organizations and communities in Canada, to dialogue on the issue of GE crops and GE trees.

CBAN has a unique role in the movement for change, focusing on the challenges and risks posed by the use of genetic engineering in food and farming. Join us in this challenging and rewarding work. You can learn more about us at https://cban.ca/about-us/priorities/.
