Role Purpose

The Construction Director / Site Manager is the most senior PMC representative at site and is responsible for the leadership, coordination, oversight, and assurance of all site execution activities associated with the expansion of an operating nickel smelter through the addition of a second Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) production train.

Working independently from both the Owner and EPC Contractor(s), the Construction Director / Site Manager acts as the PMC's "eyes and ears" on site, ensuring that engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, and handover activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project objectives.

A key feature of the role is management of a complex brownfield environment where major construction activities must be integrated with ongoing production from the existing RKEF train. The role requires strong leadership in SIMOPS (Simultaneous Operations), contractor coordination, interface management, shutdown planning, construction quality, and operational readiness.

The Construction Director / Site Manager is accountable for ensuring that EPC contractors execute the work safely and effectively while protecting the Owner's interests and supporting successful project delivery.

Key Objectives

• Deliver safe execution with zero fatalities and serious incidents.
• Achieve Mechanical Completion in accordance with approved milestones.
• Maintain uninterrupted operation of the existing production train.
• Ensure EPC contractor performance aligns with project requirements.
• Achieve quality installation and first-time commissioning success.
• Minimize disruption during tie-ins and plant shutdowns.
• Facilitate efficient transition from construction to commissioning and operations.
