Safety, Quality & Operational Excellence

  • Champion a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with company, client, and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead project teams in the proactive identification and mitigation of safety, environmental, and operational risks.
  • Ensure quality management systems, inspection and test plans (ITPs), turnover documentation, and project controls processes are effectively implemented.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives and lessons learned throughout project delivery.

Stakeholder & Client Leadership

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, Indigenous partners, regulators, consultants, and key project stakeholders.
  • Lead executive-level project reviews, progress meetings, and strategic planning discussions.
