Safety & Compliance:

• Work in accordance with company health and safety protocols and legal guidelines.
• Ensure all on-site activities strictly follow operational procedures and quality benchmarks for each installation.

SECONDARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Client and Cross-Functional Communication:

• Serve as the go-to contact for client inquiries and technical concerns, ensuring a seamless link between field operations and corporate support teams in Ontario.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders (including the Project Management team in Ontario and Director of Operations) to relay project progress, resolve issues swiftly, and plan adaptations as the program scales.

Operational & Inventory Oversight:

• Monitor and manage necessary tools, equipment, and spares required for effective field operation.
• Take responsibility for ordering, maintaining, and tracking inventory while liaising with vendors and part suppliers.
• Documentation & Reporting:
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for each phase of installation, ongoing maintenance schedules, and troubleshooting outcomes.
• Participate in regular project meetings and contribute forward-thinking ideas to improve processes, policies, and technical strategies.

Growth & Transition to Management:

• Embrace learning and training opportunities that prepare you for a potential transition into a managerial role, where you will oversee a dedicated team as the project portfolio expands.
• Mentor junior technicians and offer technical guidance during field deployments as needed.
