We are a global mining company dedicated to safely delivering nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum group metals essential for the world’s energy transition. Our mission is to improve lives and shape a better future together. Our metals are integral to life-saving medical equipment and the electric vehicles driving the fight against climate change. We have a diverse team of 15,000 talented individuals committed to transforming critical minerals into prosperity and sustainable development in countries like Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Japan. We are seeking a Specialist, Technology Planning and Strategy to join our Information Technology team in St. John’s, Newfoundland. This is a permanent, full-time position, working Monday to Friday in a hybrid model. As a Specialist, you will strategically align technology capabilities with business objectives across production, maintenance, and technical services. You will play a critical role in driving digital transformation, improving operational efficiency, and enabling seamless technology integration. The position also supports governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring technology investments deliver maximum value for Vale Newfoundland & Labrador operations. This role favors candidates with an operations-first mindset and direct exposure to asset-intensive environments. You are excited by the opportunity to help build and shape a function from the ground up in an asset-intensive environment. You are an operations and process expert who understands how physical assets run, how they fail, and how they are repaired—and how technology should support that reality. You are deeply technology-curious and value practical, fit-for-purpose technology that improves reliability, uptime, and maintenance outcomes. You are comfortable working close to the assets, bridging operations, maintenance, and technology to enable better decisions across the full asset lifecycle. Reliability matters to you, understanding its criticality in asset-heavy environments for value creation.

  • Experience working within complex, asset-intensive environments such as mines, refineries, and process-heavy industrial facilities.
  • Strong appreciation for operational contexts where reliability, availability, and uptime are critical to business performance and value creation.
  • Hands-on experience designing and supporting reliability and maintenance strategies, including predictive maintenance, asset monitoring, and maintenance planning and execution.
  • Background is aligned to roles such as Maintenance Planner or Reliability Engineer, with a practical, operations-first perspective.
  • Deep exposure to rotating equipment, pumps, and core plant infrastructure, particularly in refinery-based or process-intensive operations.
  • Proven ability to drive process optimization, analyzing current-state ways of working and designing more reliable, efficient future-state processes.
  • Strong technology and systems acumen, including understanding of plant and operating hierarchies, real-world maintenance execution, and SAP or equivalent EAM systems, with clear judgment on where technology genuinely adds operational value.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Deep understanding of mining and metals industry operations.
  • Project management experience.
  • Ability to influence strategic decisions and engage with stakeholders.
  • Experience with SAP Fiori and S/4HANA.
  • Knowledge of agile methodologies.
  • Proficiency in Lean or problem-solving methods.
  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office and Power BI.
  • Experience working with multidisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities

  • Ensuring technology initiatives are aligned with business strategies to maximize operational and financial value.
  • Planning, managing, and executing OPEX and CAPEX budgets.
  • Acting as a bridge between technology teams and operations by developing a strong understanding of production, maintenance, and technical services.
  • Ensuring alignment with technology architecture standards, governance frameworks, and strategic plans; identifying risks and implementing preventive actions.
  • Driving the adoption of technology solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and generate data-driven insights.
  • Supporting the development, optimization, and transformation of business processes enabled by technology solutions.
  • Building strong relationships with operational and technical stakeholders by embedding within the business to understand strategies, priorities, and challenges.
