Operations Manager

Location : Iqaluit, NU

Type : Full-time, Onsite

Compensation : $145,000 – $160,000 + bonus + northern incentives

Relocation : Required (non-rotational)

About the Company

This opportunity is with a well-established, northern-based real estate owner and operator with a long-standing presence in Nunavut. The organization owns and manages a diverse mixed-use portfolio, including residential, hospitality, and essential commercial assets that support day-to-day life in northern communities.

The company is deeply invested in the long-term stability, infrastructure, and growth of the North. With significant projects underway and more planned, they offer a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where your decisions and expertise have real, visible impact.

About the Role

This role is designed for someone who is energized by responsibility, autonomy, and adventure — and who is ready to fully immerse themselves in a northern environment.

This is a full-time, onsite leadership role based in Iqaluit and is not rotational. The successful candidate will relocate to the North and become an integral part of the local operation and community. In return, the role offers meaningful incentives, including a quarterly travel allowance, five weeks of paid vacation, and a comprehensive relocation package to support the move.

As the Operations Manager, you will oversee building operations across a mixed-use portfolio in Nunavut and Yellowknife. You’ll lead complex building systems, manage and support on-site teams, and ensure operational continuity in a remote setting where strong decision-making and hands-on leadership truly matter.

This position goes well beyond technical operations. It requires a leader who can manage people, budgets, vendors, and infrastructure — and who sees operations as a long-term commitment to stability, safety, and community impact in the North.

Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day operations across residential, hotel, and commercial assets
• Manage and maintain central and district heating plants (primary operational focus)
• Lead, mentor, and support a team of approximately 10 on-site staff
• Ensure compliance with power engineering, safety, and regulatory standards
• Oversee preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, and capital planning
• Contribute to financial reporting, budgeting, and cost controls
• Manage vendor relationships and service contracts
• Handle tenant, operational, and conflict-management issues
• Lead emergency response and ensure operational continuity in a remote environment
• Act as a senior operational leader reporting to the Director of Property Management
