Vice President of People | Global Field Operations | Privately Owned Leader

Are you an HR executive whos just as comfortable in the boardroom as you are on a mine site, at a drill camp, or on a shop floor? Do you thrive in fast-moving, safety-critical, multi-country operations where your decisions directly shape how work gets done?

Were looking for a Vice President of People to lead the people function for a privately owned company operating across six countries with a workforce of 1,000+ people. This isnt a desk-bound HR role — its a chance to build the leadership capability, culture, and people infrastructure behind a growing, field-based operation where reliability, safety, and execution matter every single day.

What youll own:

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to the President, CFO, and executive team


• Lead workforce planning, succession, and talent strategy across a geographically dispersed workforce


• Champion a culture of safety, accountability, engagement, and performance across corporate and field teams


• Build and scale HR systems, compensation, compliance, and reporting across multiple jurisdictions


• Drive the people side of growth, change, and organizational effectiveness

What you bring:

• Progressive senior HR leadership experience — VP People, VP HR, Head of People, or equivalent


• Experience in mining, drilling, energy services, industrial, manufacturing, or other field-based/operational environments


• A track record of leading a full people portfolio: talent, employee relations, comp & perks, performance, culture, and HR ops


• Comfort operating in a privately owned or entrepreneurial company, with sound judgment, discretion, and a bias for practical execution over theory


• Multi-country or multi-jurisdiction experience is a strong asset


• Spanish and/or Portuguese fluency is an asset given the international footprint

Why this role:

This is an opportunity to build something that lasts — to shape the people strategy behind an organization where leadership stays close to the operation, decisions move fast, and the impact of your work is visible on the ground, not just in a slide deck.

If youre a hands-on, credible, field-tested HR leader ready for your next challenge — wed love to hear from you.
