A key mandate of this role is strengthening leadership capability and succession planning across the site, an area identified as a critical need.
On a day‑to‑day basis, the General Manager monitors site performance, safety culture, and operational risk by being “boots on the ground,” ensuring alignment between corporate priorities and site execution. They establish performance standards, optimize organizational culture, and progress maturity across maintenance, planning and scheduling, asset integrity, and operating discipline. The role requires calm, composed leadership during periods of operational or organizational stress, with the ability to stabilize situations and guide teams through change.
In accomplishing this work, the General Manager builds trust between corporate and operations, brings people together across functions, and creates an environment where leaders are developed, teams are engaged, and results are delivered safely and sustainably.
