Reporting to the Site Manager, Closure, the Contracts Specialist is accountable for executing full lifecycle contract management activities for the Pend Oreille Mine and Dormant Properties, supporting operational, project, and closure activities. While organizationally reporting to the Site Manager, Closure, the position maintains a functional relationship with the Lead, Contracts & Procurement to ensure alignment with company contracting standards, practices, governance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
The Contracts Specialist manages the planning, set‑up, execution, and close‑out of contracts across their full lifecycle, including developing and recommending contract strategies (such as compensation models and market approaches), planning and executing Request for Proposal (RFP) processes, assisting in the evaluation of proposals, negotiating agreements, recommending contract awards, conforming contracts for execution, administering contracts (including payment and commercial claims), implementing change management, and closing contracts.
This role requires close collaboration with the Teck American Incorporated’s Lands and Legal departments, Site Manager, Closure and Site Manager, U.S. Dormant Properties, operations and maintenance teams, technical teams, and corporate shared services (legal, risk, customs and trade compliance, etc.). While the role interfaces with multiple stakeholders, the Contracts Specialist serves as the single point of accountability for contract management execution.
The Contracts Specialist will work closely with internal teams, legal, risk, external stakeholders, and legacy team members to ensure Teck’s contracts clearly define and manage the legal, commercial, financial, and technical obligations of all parties while protecting and advancing Teck’s interests.
This position may be based out of Spokane, WA, with monthly travel to the Pend Oreille Mine and other legacy properties, as required. This position also requires regular business travel between the United States and Canada. The successful candidate must be able to obtain and maintain authorization for international travel.
