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
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

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

Competitive compensation of $38.00 to $45.00 per hour, based on experience
Opportunities for overtime based on operational requirements
Life insurance: $100,000 employee / $10,000 spouse / $5,000 per child
AD&D insurance with critical illness and cancer coverage
Extended health care: drugs, hospital, hearing, orthotics, nursing
Paramedical services: chiro, physio, massage, mental health (annual coverage)
Vision care: glasses, contacts, laser surgery, and exams
Dental care: 80% basic ($2,500), 50% major ($2,500), $2,500 ortho for children
Travel insurance: up to $5,000,000 per incident (trips up to 90 days)
