ABOUT INUVIALUIT REGIONAL CORPORATION (IRC)

IRC was created in 1984 to represent the Inuvialuit and their rights and benefits obtained under one of Canada's oldest comprehensive land claim agreements. With assets over $1 billion, not including vast land holdings, IRC is responsible for corporate investment, land management, and a broad range of social, cultural, and economic programs and services benefiting Inuvialuit. Its subsidiaries have interests in grocery, manufacturing, property management, transportation, and significant dealings in the oil and gas industry.

Since its inception, IRC has experienced considerable growth, and its structure and operations have become increasingly complex. Combining local government and service delivery, community development, investment, and operating business divisions, all managed by a single back office, the organization has an array of complexities for the executive staff to navigate. There is an emphasis on fostering understanding, healing, and resilience in a region brimming with unique social challenges and immense potential for transformative change.

JOB SUMMARY

The Director, Infrastructure is accountable for the strategic leadership, governance, and oversight of IRC’s infrastructure portfolio, including Housing Programs, the Elders’ Home Repair Program, and the Major Projects Department.

This role is senior and advisory in nature. The Director provides executive‑level direction, oversight, and assurance rather than day‑to‑day operational project management. The position ensures that infrastructure initiatives are well‑designed, appropriately funded, risk‑managed, compliant with funding agreements, and aligned with IRC’s strategic priorities, community needs, and the long‑term interests of Inuvialuit Beneficiaries.

The role is based in the ISR and requires regular engagement with communities, contractors, partners, and internal teams.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Housing and major infrastructure initiatives consistently meet governance, financial, and quality standards.
Funding agreements and regulatory requirements are fully met with no compliance gaps.
Infrastructure programs are risk-managed and align with both IRC priorities and community expectations.
Effective partnerships are sustained with governments, funders, contractors, and communities.
The department is viewed as a trusted center of excellence, leading to improved housing access and resilient infrastructure in the ISR.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum Education / Designations

Post‑secondary education in engineering, construction management, project management, planning, business, or a related field.

Minimum Experience

Senior leadership experience overseeing infrastructure, housing, or capital programs of similar scale and complexity.

Experience That Prepares You for This Role

Proven track record in governance and strategic oversight of complex, multi‑million‑dollar infrastructure or capital programs.
Senior-level experience integrating project management principles to establish effective governance frameworks, risk controls, and assurance processes for large-scale initiatives.
Demonstrated ability to provide high-level advice and assurance to senior executives and Boards on priorities, timelines, and delivery confidence.
Extensive experience operating in northern, remote, and/or Indigenous contexts, with a deep understanding of logistical challenges, cultural considerations, and stakeholder engagement practices required for successful program delivery.

Assets

Lived experience within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region or demonstrated experience working in Northern Indigenous governance contexts
Professional designation (e.g., P.Eng., PMP) or advanced education in infrastructure or governance fields.

Please refer to the job description for a full list of duties and qualifications.
