This role will oversee Inspection & Maintenance teams in Dive Operations, Rope Access & NDE Inspections, Arial Inspections (Drone Operations) and Remote Inspections Engineering.

- Manage and balance resources across multiple concurrent campaigns and clients, including seasonal/peak planning requirements.
- Ensure strong field governance and compliance, including safe work planning, permits, and execution standards across specialized operations.
- Ensure regulatory and site compliance across Nuclear and Renewable Generation environments.
- Oversee maintenance fundamentals and work control discipline, ensuring readiness elements—such as pre-job briefs, lift planning, and hazard controls—are completed to the required standard.
- Drive continuous improvement by strengthening planning and execution processes and adapting to organizational changes.
- Identify resource requirements, optimize performance, and ensure activities are delivered within budget and at minimum practical cost.
- Ensure management systems meet due diligence requirements and are effectively maintained and governed on an ongoing basis.
- Maintain OPG and nuclear governing documents (policies, standards, procedures) in compliance with regulatory requirements.
