Operations Coordinator - Remote Camp Operations Nunavut

📋 Description

• • Own the day-to-day heartbeat of Dexterra’s remote fly-in camps across Nunavut, ensuring 500+ workers have safe, comfortable, and fully supplied accommodations in some of Canada’s most challenging environments.
• • Coordinate the seamless movement of people, food, fuel, and critical supplies via chartered aircraft, sealift barges, and winter ice-roads—balancing weather windows, regulatory restrictions, and last-minute client changes without ever compromising safety or schedule.
• • Serve as the single point of contact between site supervisors, logistics partners, Indigenous community liaisons, and Dexterra’s head office, translating real-time field data into concise action plans that keep operations running 24/7 in temperatures that can plunge below –40 °C.
• • Build and maintain a rolling 90-day master schedule that integrates flight manifests, catering orders, waste-removal rotations, equipment maintenance windows, and emergency evacuation protocols, ensuring every camp can operate autonomously for up to 14 days if weather or geopolitical events isolate the site.
• • Leverage Dexterra’s ERP and camp-management platforms to track inventory levels down to the last roll of paper towel, flagging low-stock alerts and triggering purchase orders so crews never run out of fresh produce, medical supplies, or PPE.
• • Champion rigorous health, safety, and environmental standards by conducting virtual toolbox talks, reviewing daily hazard assessments, and coordinating third-party audits that keep our COR and ISO certifications intact while respecting Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (traditional knowledge).
• • Lead the onboarding and deployment of 100+ seasonal workers, arranging security clearances, medical fitness tests, cultural orientation, and travel itineraries so new hires arrive ready to contribute from day one.
• • Negotiate with airlines, marine carriers, and local outfitters to secure capacity and pricing that stays within budget—even when sudden demand spikes or Arctic storms force re-routing—while maintaining Dexterra’s commitment to 30 % Inuit employment on every contract.
• • Produce executive dashboards that translate field KPIs (bed-nights sold, meal wastage %, fuel burn per degree-day, TRIF) into clear narratives for senior leadership, enabling data-driven decisions that improve margin and guest satisfaction simultaneously.
• • Spearhead continuous-improvement projects such as digitizing paper-based inspection forms, piloting composting programs to reduce landfill waste, or introducing modular kitchen units that cut setup time by 40 %.
• • Foster a culture of respect and inclusion by organizing weekly virtual “campfires” where workers share stories, celebrate milestones, and surface concerns before they escalate—turning isolated sites into tight-knit communities.
• • Respond to after-hours emergencies—medical evacuations, power outages, wildlife encounters—with calm precision, activating contingency plans and communicating updates to families, regulators, and clients until the all-clear is given.
• • Travel to site up to 25 % of the year (rotational, 3-weeks-in / 3-weeks-out) to conduct on-the-ground audits, train local operators, and experience firsthand the conditions your decisions impact, ensuring empathy and accuracy in every directive you issue from headquarters.
