Superintendent

Location: Fort McMurray / Northern Alberta (Camp-Based, Rotational)

Project: Major Industrial Turnaround (Electrical Scope)

Employment Type: Contract Field with High Potential for Permanent Employment

Company: MSCP Heat Management Solutions

About MSCP

MSCP Heat Management Solutions is an integrated industrial services company based in Sherwood Park, Alberta. We specialize in heat tracing, insulation, rope access, fireproofing, and electrical services across Canada’s industrial sector.

We operate as a fully integrated heat management provider. Our focus is on aligning people, planning, and execution to deliver consistent, measurable results. We are not just executing scopes, we are building long term partnerships through strong performance and professional leadership.

The Opportunity

MSCP has been awarded a major electrical scope for an upcoming industrial turnaround.

We are looking for a Superintendent to take on a senior field leadership role as the primary representative for MSCP on site. This role carries full accountability for overall performance, leadership of the field team, and how MSCP is represented throughout the project.

This is not a traditional supervisory role. It is a leadership position focused on alignment, accountability, and delivering strong outcomes through others.

Position Summary

The Superintendent is MSCP’s senior field leader on the turnaround. You are responsible for how MSCP shows up, how the work is experienced, and how the field team performs.

You operate between leadership and field execution. You do not solve day to day problems directly. You ensure the right people, structure, and communication are in place so problems are solved effectively and consistently.

This role requires strong judgment, clear communication, and the ability to lead through planning, coaching, and accountability.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership and Accountability

You are the senior representative for MSCP on site and set the tone for performance.

  • Establish a strong and professional presence from the outset
  • Represent MSCP in all pre-turnaround and on-site leadership meetings
  • Provide consistent, proactive communication on progress, risks, and performance
  • Ensure incidents and key updates are communicated clearly and immediately
  • Maintain visibility on performance and ensure readiness for post-event review

Planning and Project Readiness

Strong outcomes start before mobilization. You ensure the project is properly set up.

  • Confirm all field leadership roles are clearly defined and filled
  • Lead planning discussions with the General Foreman to align schedule with field reality
  • Ensure safety, quality, and execution plans are complete and submitted in advance
  • Support equipment planning and approvals ahead of mobilization

Field Leadership and Team Development

You lead through people by developing strong field leadership around you.

  • Coach and support the General Foreman to own execution
  • Build trust through clear expectations, communication, and consistency
  • Encourage accountability and ownership at the Foreman and GF level
  • Create an environment where leaders grow and take responsibility for outcomes

Coordination and Oversight

You ensure the system around the work is functioning properly.

  • Maintain awareness of progress, risks, and operational challenges
  • Ensure communication between field teams and MSCP leadership is clear and consistent
  • Support alignment across planning, execution, safety, and quality
  • Focus on keeping work flowing without unnecessary disruption

Continuous Improvement and Performance

You are responsible for learning from the work and improving future performance.

  • Lead post-event reviews with the field team shortly after demobilization
  • Capture lessons learned and provide structured feedback to leadership
  • Monitor performance throughout the turnaround and adjust in real time
  • Contribute to improving how MSCP delivers future projects

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a leader who is comfortable operating at a high level while staying grounded in field reality.

Required

  • Proven experience leading industrial turnarounds
  • Strong leadership and communication ability
  • Experience managing or developing field leadership teams
  • Ability to operate under pressure while maintaining structure and clarity
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes

Preferred

  • Background in electrical, heat trace, or heat management
  • Experience with digital work packages or inspection systems
  • Familiarity with contractor scorecards or performance tracking systems

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is reflected in both performance and leadership impact.

  • MSCP is seen as professional, prepared, and reliable
  • Field leadership operates with clarity, ownership, and accountability
  • Communication is proactive, not reactive
  • Issues are identified early and managed effectively
  • The project delivers a strong outcome and positions MSCP for future work

Why Join MSCP

MSCP is building a company focused on alignment, leadership, and continuous improvement.

You Will Be Supported With

  • Clear expectations and role definition
  • Strong internal communication and leadership access
  • A structured approach to planning and execution
  • A culture focused on learning and improvement

This is an opportunity to take on a key leadership role in a major turnaround and contribute to how MSCP continues to grow and improve.
