Electrical Maintenance Lead

Electrical Lead

Terminal Commissioning — Operations

This position is hired under the Operations department and carries a dual mandate. From day

one through terminal handover, you will be fully dedicated to electrical commissioning activities,

embedded alongside the Projects team to bring all systems online safely and on schedule.

Once commissioning is complete and the terminal transitions to full operations, you will shift

into your permanent role as Electrical Lead for the Operations team — building and leading the

maintenance crew responsible for keeping all electrical systems running at a bulk cement

import terminal.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This is a long-term career role, not just a commissioning contract. We need someone who can get

this terminal across the finish line electrically and then own the results for years to come. You're a

self-starter who takes ownership without being told what's next, thrives in the organized chaos of a

startup, and has the leadership ability to build a team from the ground up once the dust settles. If

you've commissioned a facility and then stayed to run it, you're exactly who we're looking for.
