Location: Tamarack

Reports to: VP, Health, Safety & Human resources

Company Overview
The Company is a TSX-listed junior mining company with one operating mine and a significant 
exploration and development portfolio. The Company is focused on disciplined capital allocation, 
operational transparency, and responsible growth while delivering long-term value to shareholders 
and stakeholders.

Role Purpose
The Health & Safety Superintendent at Tamarack plays a critical role in building the foundation for 
a strong, sustainable safety culture before operations begin. This is a unique opportunity to shape 
how safety shows up from day one, establishing the systems, standards, and expectations that will

safety oversight in Minnesota, with seasonal expansion into Michigan. This role is highly visible 
and hands-on, partnering closely with exploration teams, contractors, and leadership to ensure safe 
execution in dynamic field environments.

Success in this role means balancing building for the future with managing the present, embedding 
our values of Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Excellence into both the systems we
create and the work happening today.
