Why this role exists
As we grow, we're creating dedicated leadership for field operations. Reporting to the COO, you'll lead four experienced managers and own how our field work is planned, resourced, and delivered.
What you'll do
- Lead through managers: Coach four field managers, strengthen accountability, and develop teams that operate confidently and independently.
- Own field delivery: Coordinate crews, vehicles, equipment, and scheduling across BC and Alberta, meeting commitments safely and reliably.
- Improve performance: Standardize processes, strengthen training, and reduce avoidable cost, delay, and rework.
- Make technology stick: Partner with our technology teams to pilot tools, train crews, and embed improvements into daily work.
- Know the numbers: Manage the field budget, resource allocation, subcontractors, and delivery costs.
- Connect the teams: Work closely with Engineering & Data, program leads and account managers to anticipate demand and resolve risks early.
What success looks like
In your first year, you'll establish clear operating measures, develop each manager and deliver measurable improvements in safety, cost, utilisation and reliability. You'll bring greater consistency to field programs and put new tools or processes into everyday use.
We'll agree specific priorities and targets together.
Who this is for
