Manager, Health, Safety & Security
Trigon Pacific Terminals Limited (“Trigon”), formerly Ridley Terminals Inc., is a modern, deep-sea marine terminal located in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, on the northwest coast of Canada. Established in 1983, Trigon provides an export point for natural resources from North America to Asia and other global markets. With an annual shipping capacity of 18.5 million tonnes, Trigon is a year-round, 24-hour operation, offering high-quality, high-performance services, safely and efficiently, and delivered by a highly skilled local team, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, Local 523. Their focus is on the handling and export of natural resources produced in Western Canada — products which continue to be in high demand around the world for their superior quality.
In April 2022, the terminal rebranded as Trigon Pacific Terminals Limited (Trigon). Inspired by Coast Tsimshian artistic traditions and Indigenous ownership, the new name and identity reflects the significant recent and future planned changes at the terminal, and its accelerating progression towards a more diversified and sustainable future. With over 35 years of lasting legacies to build on, Trigon’s new name reflects the opening of the next chapter for their company. It’s a story that began in 2019 when they became a privately held entity and restructured their ownership to include two private equity firms with extensive expertise in industrial operations, as well as the Lax Kw’alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nation.
Going forward, Trigon’s focus is on executing a longer-term commodity diversification strategy. A strategy which will see them continue to deliver unsurpassed service quality and performance outcomes to their existing customers, while expanding the range of the commodities they handle with a renewable energy focus and building out their infrastructure accordingly. With safety being at the forefront of Trigon’s expansion and operations, there exists an opportunity for a seasoned Health, Safety and Security professional to join them at the leadership level and continue to evolve their culture to achieve their objective of one million hours accident-free. The new Manager will enhance Health and Safety programs, drive cultural change with the unionized workforce, mentor line managers to support best-in-class safe work practices, and provide consistent safety leadership by example across the facility. There is also a minor security management element to this role.
You will bring Health and Safety leadership experience in a heavy industrial, unionized setting such as a waterfront terminal, rail yard, mine/mill/plant, or similar industrial organization. You are self-confident, accustomed to working within the parameters of a collective agreement and have the demonstrated ability to exercise good judgment in handling personnel issues and incident investigations. Re-writing policies to reinforce cultural change management with the unions will be critical. You have a demonstrated track record of successfully developing health and safety strategies, implementing best-in-class safety programs and positively transforming the safety culture of an organization are core competencies to ensure success in this role.
Based in Prince Rupert, a Northern BC coastal community with outstanding outdoor activity opportunities, this is an opportunity for a capable Manager of Health, Safety and Security to join an organization whose mission is to operate as an open-access, commercially sustainable enterprise with a safe and rewarding work environment.
