Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, environmental standards, safety practices, and organizational policies.
Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, safety, and continuous improvement.
Build and maintain effective relationships with contractors and other external partners to support successful operational delivery.

Strong understanding of production planning, resource allocation, inventory management, contractor performance, and cost management.
Demonstrated commitment to workplace safety, environmental stewardship, and responsible resource management.
Proven ability to establish performance metrics, analyze operational data, identify trends, and translate findings into action.
Strong organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.
Demonstrated ability to lead through change and drive continuous improvement across complex operations.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build effective relationships with employees, contractors, leadership, and cross-functional partners.
