Reporting to the Operations Supervisor, the Operations Shift Supervisor plays a critical leadership role in the safe, efficient, and compliant day-to-day operation of the Moose Jaw Refinery.

This role is responsible for ensuring Gibson Energy standards, programs, and processes are followed while providing steady, credible leadership within a unionized operations environment. The successful candidate will be someone who can build trust on the floor, communicate clearly, and balance operational discipline with collaboration and respect.

The Operations Shift Supervisor provides hands-on leadership, mentoring, and coaching to operations staff and contractors while supporting Gibson Energy’s commitment to operational excellence, safety leadership, and continuous improvement.

About the Facility & Team

The Moose Jaw Refinery includes the Crude Unit, Utilities, Rail Car Loading, and Tank Farms/Logistics. Many members of the operations team bring decades of experience and take pride in the facility and its performance.

This role includes responsibility for staffing and scheduling a unionized workforce, addressing day-to-day operational issues in alignment with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), and coordinating closely with maintenance and logistics teams to ensure safe, reliable execution of work.

This is a role for a leader who understands the importance of labour relations, credibility, and communication, and who can confidently navigate both ground-level operational issues and broader leadership expectations with support from senior management and HR.

Leadership Opportunity

This position is well-suited to:

• An experienced operations or maintenance leader ready to step into a broader supervisory role, or
• A technically strong, emerging leader who is ready to be coached, developed, and supported in a formal leadership position.
