  • Help promote and communicate the value of technical and operator training across the organization so the team remains visible, utilized, and aligned with business needs.
  • Support career development and succession planning within the training team, including preparing for future workload growth, retirements, and potential team expansion.
  • Oversee basic budget responsibilities.
  • Create and deliver presentations that showcase the training team's capabilities, services, and impact.
Qualifications/Requirements
  • Experience:
    • 10+ years' experience working in the heavy construction or surfacemining industries.

    • Experience developing/conducting technical training programs is prefered but not required
    • Management experience preferred but not required
  • Travel: <25% domestic and international travel
