Erin Maxfield

Operations Manager

Erin keeps the Blackbird engine humming as our Operations Manager, making sure big ideas turn into well-executed plans – and that the team always feels supported (and yes, that offices are stocked with plants and diffusers). A born-and-raised Fort St. John local, Erin blends her northern know-how with sharp scientific chops to guide the team, streamline workflows, and keep projects flying straight.

Armed with a BSc in Environmental and Conservation Sciences from the University of Alberta, she’s a Registered Professional Biologist and Professional Agrologist who’s just as comfortable leading strategy sessions as she is talking soils, wetlands, and wildlife. Erin thrives on planning and problem-solving, and she’s always ready to roll up her sleeves and support the Blackbird team wherever she’s needed.

When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find Erin chasing northern sunsets, camera in hand, or exploring the backcountry (often with her pup, Mabel).
