Responsibilities

T he Materials & Yard Operations Technician manages materials, equipment, and consumables within a rugged, outdoor laydown yard, serving the Blackwater Gold mine construction project in Northern BC. This role requires an expert operator to safely operate mobile equipment, especially a telehandler (zoom boom) and skid steer across unpaved, uneven terrain in variable weather conditions.

Regarding Mobilization Readiness: The successful candidate must have the availability and capacity to deploy to the remote mine-site on short notice to assist with rotational coverage, volume surges, or field logistics demands.

Key Responsibilities

Equipment Operation & Material Handling

  • Operate variable-reach telehandlers (Zoom Booms up to 12K+ capacity), skid steers and other mobile equipment safely, in tight, unpaved, and occasionally muddy or snow and ice covered outdoor laydown yards.
  • Unload incoming freight, flatbeds, and step-deck transport trailers containing heavy earthworks parts, pipe, structural steel, and ground engagement tools.
  • Stage, stack, and organize materials systematically to optimize yard space and ensure fast, safe retrieval for construction crews.
  • Perform mandatory daily pre-shift equipment inspections and report mechanical issues immediately.

Rigging & Load Securement

  • Inspect, select, and utilize appropriate rigging hardware (slags, shackles, chains, spreader bars) based on weight and center of gravity.
  • Act as the primary rigger/swamper, executing safe lifting plans for complex, awkward, or heavy loads.
  • Secure materials onto site haul trucks, flatbeds, and off-road utility vehicles using straps, chains, and binders to ensure zero movement during transport over rough mine haul roads.

Yard Inventory & Safety Compliance

  • Verify incoming shipments against packing slips, manifests, and purchase orders; report discrepancies or damaged goods immediately.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free laydown yard, ensuring clear emergency access and proper segregation of materials.
  • Adhere strictly to the BC Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines, WorkSafeBC standards, and site-specific zero-harm policies.
  • May be required to maintain a clean-shaven appearance (i.e. no facial hair) to ensure the safe and effective use of required personal protective equipment (PPE) associated with assigned duties.

Site Maintenance

  • Assist with general site maintenance activities to ensure a safe, clean, and operational work environment. Responsibilities include snow removal, groundskeeping & housekeeping (as required), and the safe operation of mobile equipment.

  • Rigging Certification: Confirmed Hoisting & Rigging / Slinger certification from an accredited provider.
  • Driver's License: Valid Class 5 BC Driver’s License (or provincial equivalent) with a clean driving record.
  • Skid Steer Certification: Valid operating license with proven experience using industrial attachments (pallet forks, buckets) in a commercial setting.

Required Experience

  • Industrial Setting: Minimum of 2-3 years of experience running telehandlers and managing a laydown yard on a major heavy civil, industrial construction, or mining project.
  • Outdoor Environments: Proven capability working 12-hour shifts outdoors in extreme BC weather conditions (mud, snow, ice, dust).
  • Earthworks Familiarity: Experience handling large-scale earthworks construction supplies (HDPE piping, geotextiles, culverts, heavy equipment parts).

Required Skills & Attributes

  • Physical Stamina: Ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and walk long distances over uneven, rocky ground.
  • Communication: Clear, assertive radio communication skills to coordinate safely with transport drivers, crane operators, and heavy equipment traffic.
  • Autonomy: Highly self-motivated; capable of managing yard logistics independently in a fast-paced, non-unionized environment.
  • Site Readiness: Ability to pass a comprehensive pre-employment medical, fitness-to-work test, and drug & alcohol screening.

Benefits

  • Extended Health, Dental & Vision Care
  • Life Insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Programs
