On-site

Red Dog Operations is both the largest critical minerals mine in the United States and one of the largest zinc mines in the world. In 1982, Red Dog was developed through a partnership between Teck and the land‑owner NANA, an Alaska Native corporation owned by the Iñupiat of northwest Alaska. The partnership between Teck and NANA ensures real benefits for the local Iñupiat community, while recognizing there is still more to do as we advance our commitment to sustainable practices and meaningful engagement.

Reporting to the Construction Manager, the Construction Superintendent is accountable for creating value and mitigating risks associated with construction work scopes of the RDO MLE Project. The Construction Superintendent is accountable for the activities required to move the major capital project through execution in accordance with Teck Projects Framework. The key focus area for this role is to deliver the construction scope to meet the project goals in accordance with the agreed construction execution strategy and construction management plan, generally, by overseeing the service provider’s scope, and the scope managed directly by Teck.

This role provides on‑site leadership to all disciplines but with a focus on Mechanical, Piping and Electrical Infrastructure, ensuring work is completed in accordance with project schedules, specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements.

The Construction Superintendent collaborates with members of the project, functional and operational leadership teams in reviewing and supervising quality management plans, HSEC plans, estimates, budgets, schedules, procurement plans, contracting plans and provides specific expertise in construction strategizing and site management. The scope of this role includes participation in design and constructability reviews as well as risk assessments. Incorporation of innovation and technology to reduce hazard exposure to people and the environment through safety in design and sustainability practices throughout the construction and operational phases is also an essential component of the role.

There are two positions available, and the ideal candidates would be either a Construction Superintendent Electrical focused and another Mechanical/Piping focused.
