The Role
GrizzlyTrek is seeking one Industrial Tank Cleaning Supervisor to join our valued client's team, a leading environmental and industrial services provider, on a short-term project in Calgary, Alberta. This is a hands‑on field leadership role overseeing the cleaning of industrial floc tanks using chemical injection, triplex and high-pressure pumping equipment, and vacuum trucks.

We want a supervisor who leads from the field, not from a truck or office, and who has actually run industrial tank, vessel or chemical‑cleaning work. Proven experience supervising crews around high-pressure pumps, vacuum equipment, confined spaces and chemical‑cleaning systems matters more than having worked on this exact tank configuration.

What You'll Do

Lead the safe execution of industrial floc tank cleaning and supervise operators,



technicians and labour crews

Coordinate chemical injection, high-pressure (triplex) pumping and vacuum truck operations

Plan daily work, crew assignments and equipment, and run pre-job meetings, FLHAs/JHAs, toolbox talks and inspections

Confirm hoses, pumps, fittings and safety systems are ready before work begins

Coordinate tank isolation, access, ventilation and confined-space requirements, including atmospheric testing, breathing air and rescue

Oversee removal of sludge, slurry, liquids and accumulated solids, and coordinate waste and material transfer

Troubleshoot pumps, valves, hoses, manifolds and related cleaning equipment

Keep client site representatives informed, identify hazards, and stop work when conditions cannot be controlled safely

Complete safety documentation, field tickets, daily reports and crew records, and support mobilization through demobilization

What You Bring

Minimum 5 years of industrial cleaning, tank cleaning, chemical cleaning, vacuum/hydrovac, hydroblasting or related field experience

Previous experience supervising or leading industrial field crews

Hands‑on understanding of vacuum truck operations

Experience with high‑pressure pumps, triplex pumps, hydroblasting or pressure‑pumping equipment

Experience working around tanks, vessels or confined‑space cleaning operations

Solid mechanical aptitude and the ability to troubleshoot field equipment

Experience completing hazard assessments, permits,



safety documentation and daily field reports

Strong communication and crew‑leadership skills

Ability to work extended shifts for the full 2 to 4 week project

Valid driver's licence

Preferred Qualifications

Floc tanks, flocculation or solids‑control systems

Drilling‑fluid or drilling‑mud systems, mud tanks or shale tanks

Polymer or chemical injection, chemical circulation units, centrifuges and dewatering systems

High‑pressure water jetting, hydroblasting, vacuum trucks or combo units

Supplied‑air or SCBA operations

Industrial shutdowns and turnarounds in oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical or environmental services

Safety Training
Current or recent industrial safety training applicable to the work. Depending on final site requirements, this may include Confined Space Entry / Monitor, First Aid / CPR, H2S Alive, WHMIS, CSO or equivalent site orientation, Lockout/Tagout awareness, respiratory protection and fit testing, and high-pressure water or hydroblasting training. Additional client or site‑specific training may be required before mobilization.

What We Offer
