We are looking for a dynamic, "hands-on" leader who can simplify the complex, energize large teams, and bridge the gap between technical precision and aggressive business growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Business Leadership:

  • Safety Advocacy:
    Maintain an uncompromising safety-first culture, ensuring all employees embrace and execute the highest standards of safety in every task.
  • Team Leadership & Talent Coaching:
    Motivate and lead large, diverse teams by providing consistent, personal communication. You will be responsible for spotting high-potential talent and nurturing the next generation of company leaders.

Professional Qualifications

  • Technical Credentials:
    Must possess a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field, accompanied by a
    P.Eng. designation
    . An
    MBA
    is considered a strong asset for this commercial-facing role.
  • Leadership Experience:
    Proven track record of motivating and leading large teams within a complex operational environment.
  • Financial & Commercial Acumen:
    Minimum of five years of experience managing large-scale operations or projects with direct

  • Problem Solving:
    Demonstrated ability to improve processes and drive practical business outcomes while managing tight deadlines and shifting priorities.
  • Relationship Management:
    Exceptional communication skills with a focus on building positive, productive relationships with both internal staff and external clients.

The Career Path

This role is specifically designed for a leader who isn't content with the status quo. Our client is looking for a successor—someone who can master the current operation and evolve quickly into a
General Manager
role as the company continues to scale.
