JOB SUMMARY

The Ice Road Construction Supervisor is responsible for the planning, evaluation, and execution oversight of ice roads and ice bridge infrastructure required to support the exploration drilling campaign. This role leads the assessment of access strategies, including tundra travel, ice road construction, evaluates routing options, costs, risks, and logistics dependencies, and supervises field execution to ensure safe, timely, and cost-effective delivery of winter access infrastructure.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES

• Analyze and develop ice road routing options, including alignment alternatives, river crossings, ice bridge locations, and staging areas.
• Evaluate access strategies, including tundra travel versus full or partial ice road construction, considering environmental, regulatory, schedule, cost, and operational constraints.
• Prepare comparative cost estimates and risk assessments for each access option and support management decision-making.
• Define access execution philosophy aligned with drilling schedule, logistics requirements, and permitting constraints.
• Assess the need for fall stranding of equipment to facilitate river crossings and enable early winter mobilization.
• Coordinate with logistics, drilling, and construction teams to identify critical equipment requiring early placement.
• Develop contingency strategies to minimize schedule risk related to freeze-up timing and ice thickness development.
• Analyze and plan ice bridge construction requirements, including load cases, construction methods, monitoring requirements, and operational limitations.
• Coordinate with engineering, HSE, and contractors to ensure ice bridges are designed and constructed in accordance with applicable standards and best practices.
• Monitor ice conditions, load limits, and seasonal constraints throughout operations.
• Supervise ice road and ice bridge construction progress, ensuring activities are executed safely and in line with the approved plan.
• Track daily construction productivity, weather impacts, ice growth, and quality of road structure.
• Conduct regular site visits for progress verification, technical audits, and construction inspections.
• Provide strong safety leadership and field visibility, promoting safe work practices and immediate resolution of unsafe conditions.
• Establish and maintain construction progress tracking and cost control mechanisms.
• Identify early schedule deviations or cost overruns, investigate root causes, and escalate issues appropriately.
• Provide timely reporting on progress, risks, and forecast impacts to the overall campaign schedule.
• Support optimization of construction sequencing and resource allocation to protect critical path milestones.
• Proactively identify risks related to weather variability, ice development, river conditions, equipment availability, and contractor performance.
• Develop and propose mitigation measures and contingency plans, including alternate routes, sequencing changes, or execution methods.
• Support decision-making during dynamic field conditions with practical, experience-based recommendations.
• Liaise closely with ice road construction contractors and subcontractors, ensuring alignment on scope, schedule, safety, and quality expectations.
