This newly created role is designed to bring dedicated HR leadership directly to the site operations, providing hands-on support to operational leadership and employees rather than managing people matters remotely.

• Support onboarding and consistent HR practices across the site
• Strengthen relationships with local Indigenous communities and support Indigenous employment initiatives
• Act as a culturally aware liaison between operations and community stakeholders
• Ensure HR policies and employment practices are applied consistently across the operation
• Monitor workforce engagement and proactively identify potential employee concerns
• Provide ongoing communication and updates to senior HR leadership while operating independently on day-to-day site matters

Requirements

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience in industrial, construction, resource, or heavy operations environments
• Proven experience handling employee relations, recruitment, and workforce planning

• Permanent, full-time opportunity
• Competitive benefits package
