This Lead Electrician role requires a Red Seal certification in Construction Electrician, with over 5 years of experience maintaining and repairing electrical equipment in production and mining environments. The candidate must demonstrate expertise in installing, troubleshooting, and maintaining fixed plant electrical infrastructure, including performing inspections, testing, and diagnosing faults to ensure compliance with safety standards and manufacturer specifications. Experience working independently with minimal supervision in challenging conditions such as underground mines—characterized by temperature fluctuations, dampness, confined spaces, and low light—is essential. Strong practical skills in routine maintenance tasks like cleaning, lubrication, and adjustments are required, along with the ability to document work accurately through reports and provide constructive feedback for continuous improvement. The role demands adaptability to diverse tasks, innovation, and initiative, as well as the ability to make sound decisions in fast-paced, equipment-intensive environments. Candidates should have a proven track record of thriving in multidisciplinary, team-oriented settings and a commitment to workplace safety, environmental programs, and regulatory compliance. While not mandatory, first aid and fall protection training are advantageous. The position involves remote, outdoor work in northern climates with extended hours during a condensed construction season. Overall, the ideal candidate combines vocational training and extensive field experience with strong safety awareness, technical proficiency, and collaborative work ethic suitable for demanding industrial and mining operations.
