What you will enjoy doing* This role is a great blend of process safety, maintenance, and compliance leadership. You'd be the go-to person for ensuring our safety and reliability programs are effective and continuously improving. You'd oversee key process safety programs, including mechanical integrity, facility drawing updates, Management of Change (MOC), and Process Hazard Analyses (PHA), making sure the site stays safe, compliant, and up to date. A big part of the role is acting as a subject matter expert for MOC, managing changes through our electronic system and ensuring risks are properly assessed before implementation. You'll lead and participate in root cause investigations when incidents or issues occur, helping identify improvements and prevent future recurrence. On the maintenance side, you'd manage our maintenance systems (CMMS/EAM and Procal) and oversee compliance programs for critical equipment like pressure vessels and pressure relief devices. You'll serve as a key link between corporate and site operations, communicating technical directives, supporting audits and assessments, and helping ensure our Canadian facilities meet company and regulatory standards. Training and development are also important. You'll create and deliver training for operations teams on maintenance, compliance, and process safety programs while providing leadership and coaching to your direct reports. Beyond day-to-day operations, you'll manage budgets for compliance and reliability initiatives and represent Canadian operations on global and regional teams, contributing to broader reliability and process safety improvements across the organization. What makes you great* We're looking for someone with a strong engineering background, ideally with a bachelor's degree in engineering, who can bring both technical expertise and leadership to the team. The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience in engineering, operations, or maintenance, preferably within air separation, CO₂, or industrial gas operations. You'll need a solid understanding of industrial gas plant processes and equipment, as this role supports both operational reliability and process safety initiatives. This is a leadership position, so we're looking for someone who has experience managing and developing people and enjoys building strong teams. Success in the role requires someone who is a self-starter, comfortable taking ownership, and able to lead or contribute to cross-functional projects. Strong communication and relationship-building skills are key, as you'll work closely with operations, maintenance, corporate teams, and external stakeholders. We're looking for someone who can drive high-priority issues to resolution with urgency, accountability, and integrity, while keeping safety and reliability at the forefront. Overall, it's a great fit for someone who combines technical depth, leadership capability, and strong communication skills and is excited to make a broad impact across the business.
