Description

The Director of IM/IT and Digitization reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and is a core member of the Woodfibre LNG team.

• Drive OT‑IT convergence to provide real‑time data visibility and operational decision support.
• Support future initiatives such as enterprise data warehouse, digital twin, predictive analytics and advanced asset management.
• Ensure all technology projects meet schedule, scope and operational readiness criteria.
• Design and oversee deployment of telecom and network infrastructure (fiber, microwave, satellite, LTE/5G, radio, VPN) for plant operations.
• Coordinate vendors, contractors and internal teams to achieve telecom readiness from construction through commissioning.
• Manage global shared‑services model, aligning centralized IT services with local site support.
• Define, monitor and enforce SLAs and KPIs for IM/IT operations and third‑party services.
• Implement cybersecurity policies, controls and monitoring per NIST, ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 standards.
