Dedicated to sustainable employment, we emphasize career opportunities and empowerment for Indigenous communities across Canada. Join us and contribute to building a more inclusive future.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

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
Strong 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
