ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is a pivotal time for IntermodeX Prince Rupert.

LInX is a 30‑acre import transload and logistics park and represents a major evolution in how IntermodeX delivers integrated logistics solutions. The Regional Operations Manager will lead the organisation through one of the most significant operational transformations in our history—balancing day‑to‑day operational excellence with strategic readiness for this next phase of growth.

As Regional Operations Manager, you are accountable for the safe, efficient, and profitable operation of our Prince Rupert business unit. You will provide senior operational leadership across all site activities, including import/export operations, transload services, customs exams, equipment, labour, maintenance, and customer service.

This role is responsible for driving operational performance, financial results, safety culture, and regulatory compliance, while supporting growth initiatives and maintaining strong relationships with customers, labour partners, port authorities, and regulatory agencies.

You will act as the senior company representative in Prince Rupert, setting the tone for leadership, accountability, and safety.

Health, Safety, Quality & Environment (HSQE) – 20%

Lead and champion a safety‑first culture across all Prince Rupert operations. Ensure compliance with company HSQE standards and all applicable regulations, including WorkSafeBC, Transport Canada, and port authority requirements. Work closely with HSQE teams to implement, monitor, and continuously improve safety programs. Lead incident investigations, ensure effective corrective actions, and proactively address trends to prevent recurrence. Promote environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance across all sites.

Financial & Business Performance – 15%

Manage operating expenses, labour costs, maintenance spend, and capital utilization. Support annual budgeting, forecasting, and long‑range operating plans. Identify and implement opportunities to improve margins, efficiency, and return on assets. Provide clear performance reporting and insights to senior leadership.
