Location: Regional Role – Travel Required Across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Maine

Type: Full-Time | Strategic Leadership Position

About the Role:

Are you a strategic leader with deep expertise in mobile heavy equipment maintenance and a passion for driving reliability across large, regional operations? We're seeking a Mobile Asset Reliability Manager to lead our client's regional reliability and asset management strategy across multiple sawmill and woodlands operations in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Maine.

In this high-impact role, you'll guide a team of mobile equipment reliability experts, oversee asset performance, and lead the development of budgets, business cases, and continuous improvement plans for the mobile heavy equipment fleet.

This is not a hands-on maintenance role — it's a strategic leadership opportunity ideal for experienced professionals ready to influence operational excellence at scale and grow into senior executive roles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead a regional team of mobile equipment reliability and maintenance experts supporting sawmills and woodlands operations.
• Develop and implement asset reliability strategies that reduce downtime, improve safety, and increase equipment lifecycle performance.
• Create and present reliability-focused business cases to senior leadership, including cost-benefit analysis, performance KPIs, and ROI.
• Build and manage annual budgets for heavy equipment assets, capital planning, and maintenance forecasting.
• Oversee asset utilization, maintenance history, and long-term lifecycle planning across the region.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, procurement, and finance to align strategy with business goals.
• Drive standardization of maintenance practices and systems across operations.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for mobile heavy machinery performance and investment decisions.
• Travel regularly across sites in NB, NS, and ME to ensure alignment and support site-level execution.

What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in mobile heavy equipment maintenance, asset reliability, or fleet management, ideally in the forestry, mining, or industrial sector.
• 5+ years in a leadership or regional oversight role managing teams and large-scale equipment strategies.
• Strong business acumen, with experience building and presenting strategic plans, capital requests, and operational budgets.
• Proven success in influencing senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Knowledge of forestry, sawmill, or woodlands operations is considered a strong asset.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Willingness to travel regionally (NB, NS, ME) as part of a hybrid work structure.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Asset Management, or a related field; certifications in reliability, asset management (e.g. CMRP, CRL) are a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to shape a region-wide equipment strategy in a values-driven, growth-focused company.
• High visibility role with succession potential into executive leadership positions within 5 years.
• Work with a seasoned leadership team in an industry with deep roots and forward momentum.
• Play a critical role in operational transformation and innovation.
