About Pathways Alliance
Pathways Alliance (Pathways) represents Canada’s largest oil sands producers working together to reduce their environmental footprint on land, air, and water and who share an ambitious goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 2050. Our six member companies operate about 95% of Canada’s oil sands production.
About the Opportunity
The Director of the Tailings Environmental Priority Area (EPA) is a leader within the Pathways Technology Development team. The Tailings EPA works to enhance oil sands tailings management through the development of new and improved sustainable technologies. That means developing approaches to reduce tailings volumes, mitigate the environmental impact of tailings production and accelerate tailings reclamation. Efficient management of tailings is key to reducing the environmental impact of oil sands operations and enhancing the overall sustainability of the oil sands industry.
The Director, Tailings EPA will be the lead staff support to the Tailings EPA Steering Committee (SC), which consists of subject matter experts from each of the Pathways mining company members. The Director will work very closely with SC members to develop strategy for collaborative research/innovation and facilitate regular SC meetings and discussions. Supported by a Tailings EPA Advisor, the Director will oversee the review and handling of technology submissions received from external innovators and the repository of technologies contributed by member companies.
About the Role
The Tailings EPA team is part of the Technology Development function within Pathways, which is led by the Vice President, Technology Development & COSIA. The Director, Tailings EPA will report to the Vice President.
