  • Working knowledge of Canadian workplace safety expectations, including WHMIS (hazard communication), safe work procedures, and incident prevention practices
  • Experience in one or more of the following: operations leadership, technical services, mine planning/scheduling, processing optimization, maintenance/reliability, projects, or HSE management systems
  • Familiarity with common tools and systems such as CMMS/EAM (e.g., SAP, Maximo), planning/scheduling tools, condition monitoring, and Microsoft Office (Excel; Power BI is an asset)
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills in site-based environments
