Scope & Leadership:

  • Leadership of multi-disciplinary teams across operations, maintenance, and support functions.
  • Direct oversight of terminal leadership team (Superintendents, Supervisors, and support staff).
  • Total span of control across a large, unionized workforce.
  • Responsibility for operational budgets, capital input, and performance outcomes.

Operations Manager Background Profile:

  • 10+ years of leadership experience in oil & gas, midstream, or related industrial operations.
  • Strong background in terminal operations, gas processing, or similar complex facilities.
  • Proven ability to lead large, diverse teams and develop frontline leadership.
  • Experience managing P&L, operating budgets, and performance metrics.
  • Knowledge of rail and/or marine logistics operations strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with union environments and labor relations is a plus.
  • Experience with safety systems, incident command, and risk management frameworks.
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to align operations with broader commercial goals.

Leadership Profile:

  • People-first leader with a track record of building engaged, accountable teams.
  • Decisive and action-oriented with the ability to lead through complexity.
  • Strong communicator with the ability to influence across all levels of the organization.
  • Strategic mindset balanced with hands-on operational leadership.
  • High level of ownership, accountability, and integrity.

Benefits:

  • Competitive base salary with performance-based short-term and long-term incentive structure.
