Reporting to the Supervisor, Maintenance, the Maintenance Lead is responsible for supporting the management of maintenance of the surface and underground facilities of the reclaimed Sullivan Mine in Kimberley, BC in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally compliant manner.

The Maintenance Lead will also support efforts associated with implementing a preventative maintenance software program for the Sullivan Mine, growing the program to other Legacy sites.

The Maintenance Lead will be responsible for ensuring contractor consistency with the BC Mines Code and Teck's Health or equivalent experience and Safety policies and procedures and conducting regular job site inspections and audits.

Leadership forms the basis of a safe and balanced workplace and involves both making a dedication to putting health and safety into action and proactively leading it.
