Project: Major Industrial Turnaround (Electrical Scope)

About MSCP

MSCP Heat Management Solutions is an integrated industrial services company based in Sherwood Park, Alberta. We specialize in heat tracing, insulation, rope access, fireproofing, and electrical services across Canada’s industrial sector.

We operate as a fully integrated heat management provider. Our focus is on aligning people, planning, and execution to deliver consistent, measurable results. We are not just executing scopes, we are building long term partnerships through strong performance and professional leadership.

The Opportunity

MSCP has been awarded a major electrical scope for an upcoming industrial turnaround.

We are looking for a Superintendent to take on a senior field leadership role as the primary representative for MSCP on site. This role carries full accountability for overall performance, leadership of the field team, and how MSCP is represented throughout the project.

This is not a traditional supervisory role. It is a leadership position focused on alignment, accountability, and delivering strong outcomes through others.

Position Summary

The Superintendent is MSCP’s senior field leader on the turnaround. You are responsible for how MSCP shows up, how the work is experienced, and how the field team performs.

You operate between leadership and field execution. You do not solve day to day problems directly. You ensure the right people, structure, and communication are in place so problems are solved effectively and consistently.

This role requires strong judgment, clear communication, and the ability to lead through planning, coaching, and accountability.

• Ability to operate under pressure while maintaining structure and clarity
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes

Preferred

• Background in electrical, heat trace, or heat management
• Experience with digital work packages or inspection systems
