If you're driven by purpose, thrive in dynamic environments, and want to be part of something bigger, read on.

The role in a nutshell:

Reporting to the Director of Projects and Technical Services, the Manager of Projects will lead a team of Project Managers responsible for overseeing technical studies and projects of varying scopes and sizes related to the operation, maintenance, and progressive closure of Glencore’s Legacy Assets in North America.

In this role, you will provide technical expertise on environmental aspects of projects and support Project Managers in developing project strategies and planning. Your responsibilities will include managing consultants and contractors, scheduling, cost estimation, monitoring and forecasting project progress, and conducting quality control reviews for management reporting.

More specifically, you will be expected to:

  • Manage and mentor PMs in project management and stakeholder/contractor relations.
  • Develop project charters, scopes of work, plans and budgets according to the Glencore Capital Management Framework (CMF).
  • Monitor and track projects for progress, accuracy and confirmation of progress payments and invoice payments submitted.
  • Oversee and monitor project deliverables, including schedules, constructability reviews, risk assessments, earthworks construction, and operability, as applicable. Collaborate with Project Controls to ensure the timely preparation of monthly reports.
  • Develop strong communication plans, establish and report on key project metrics and key control documents that will engage and motivate team members.
  • Undertake site visits and provide remote assistance to legacy sites in North America as it applies to technical advice and assistance on potential projects.
  • Develop and implement project controls for the project (i.e. capital expenditure recommendations related to technical recommendations).
  • Support the Director, Projects & Technical services with the annual Life of Asset (LoA) process.
  • Manage engineering and other consultants through execution of projects. Develop and maintain trending registers, project change registers and/or any other developed monitoring and control tools.
  • The successful candidate will be expected to familiarize themselves with Glencore’s Fatal Hazard Protocols and SafeWork principles to ensure their effective implementation and adherence, thereby safeguarding the health and safety of all stakeholders involved in the projects.
  • Report to Management on the progress of projects in alignment with the agreed upon budget, scope and schedule.
