Site Manager
Location: Northern British Columbia
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead day-to-day performance at a high-availability facility supporting large-scale compute infrastructure. This role is ideal for a leader who understands how complex electrical, mechanical, and facility systems work together and who can guide technical teams to operate them safely, reliably, and to standard.
This is not a tools-in-hand engineering role. It's a leadership and oversight position requiring strong operational judgment, the ability to challenge technical teams, and the confidence to lead incident response, risk management, and site-level decision-making.

This is a full time position based at site in Northern British Columbia. Local candidates are preferred, however we will also consider strong candidates across thcountry that are open to relocating for the position. Relocation assistance will be provided.
