About the Location:

This position is based onsite in a small community in British Columbia’s Elk Valley, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Relocation to the Elk Valley is required for the successful candidate.

The area offers extensive year-round outdoor recreation, including skiing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and other outdoor activities. For candidates considering a move from a larger urban centre, the Elk Valley offers a smaller-community environment and an opportunity to continue developing their career within a large, established industrial operation while enjoying greater access to the outdoors.

The location may appeal to both individuals looking for an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle and families interested in a smaller, community-focused environment. Combined with the position's compressed work schedule and every other Friday off, the role provides additional time to take advantage of the surrounding area and activities outside of work.

Candidates should be comfortable with relocating to the Elk Valley and working onsite on a permanent basis.
