Document Control Lead

Job Summary

Reporting to the Project Controls Manager, or any other individual designated by the Company, the Document Control Lead is responsible for establishing and administering the document control processes required to support project studies, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and close-out activities. The role will also support the selection and lead the day-to-day implementation and administration of a fit-for-purpose electronic document management system (EDMS), in coordination with Project Controls, IT, and key users.

This role ensures that drawings, specifications, technical reports, contracts, correspondence, vendor data, and other controlled records are accurate, traceable, secure, and available to authorized users throughout the document lifecycle.

The Document Control Lead maintains the official project record, administers review and approval workflows, coordinates transmittals with internal teams and external parties, and supports the auditable turnover of complete records to operations. The role applies document requirements consistently and escalates overdue, incomplete, or noncompliant submissions.

All roles at New Range serve as a courageous safety leader, leading by example and fostering a proactive safety and sustainability culture based on the common values of health, safety, environment, and communities.
