Regional Operations Superintendent

The Regional Operations Superintendent is accountable for safe, reliable, and efficient execution of our operations across North America. Reporting to the Director of Operations, you will lead the operators who run geological core scanning at client mine sites in Canada and the United States, and you will own the people, equipment, and processes that turn those sites into consistent customer delivery.

Our core service is high-resolution scanning of geological drill core using purpose-built scanners. You will oversee the full scanning workflow, from equipment deployment and site setup through daily execution and data quality, at permanent facilities and at remote or client-managed locations.

Your workforce is a mix of direct employees and contractors, deployed across two countries and working largely out of your sight. Day-to-day leadership is exercised remotely, with periodic site visits and travel. Being effective at setting expectations, coaching, and holding people accountable without regular in-person contact is central to this role.

This is a build role as much as an operating one. Our processes, training systems, metrics, and organizational interfaces are still maturing, and you will help build them. What you establish in North America has a strong chance of becoming the global standard.

Key Responsibilities

• People leadership and team performance: Lead operators, supervisors, and regional support personnel across Canada and the United States, including both direct employees and contract crews.
• Workforce planning: Own hiring, onboarding, on-the-job training, competency progression through structured certification, succession planning, and retention across the region.
• Daily operational execution: Own daily execution of core scanning operations, uptime, throughput, and field quality across all assigned sites in both countries.
• Safety leadership: Own safety as a line responsibility, ensuring compliance with safety standards, work instructions, SOPs, and operational readiness requirements.
• Issue escalation and resolution: Lead escalation and resolution of operational risks affecting delivery, productivity, or customer commitments.
• New deployments: Support commissioning, mobilization, and stabilization of new projects and scanner deployments across the region.
• Regional performance: Manage performance against KPIs for throughput, utilization, downtime, cost, and service quality.
• Customer delivery: Partner with Project Managers to ensure customer commitments, turnaround times, and project outcomes are met.
• Cross-functional leadership: Make the interfaces between Regional Operations, Project Management, and Fleet Performance work effectively.
• Financial performance: Support regional financial results through labour efficiency, cost control, resource planning, and capacity optimization.
• Growth support: Identify customer expansion opportunities and support business development.
