SSS

Over the past week, Paul Haines (Managing Director) and Jeff Rozak (Operations Manager) have been visiting sites across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, connecting with new client prospects, and continuing to expand the reach of SSS services across Canada.

While visiting a new site in Exshaw, they stopped to capture this incredible Rocky Mountains backdrop — what a view! ⛰️

After a successful shutdown at Fortescue’s Iron Bridge site, the SSS Ex*****on and MLO teams came together to celebrate one of our own — Jerry Benjamin (Material Logistics Officer).

The smiles say it all. Congratulations to the crew on a job well done, and please join us in wishing Jerry a very happy birthday! 🎉

The SSS MLO team is ready for action!

Our team is currently preparing resources and supporting mobilisation activities ahead of an upcoming shutdown at a Tier 1 client site in the Pilbara.

From planning and coordination through to on-site ex*****on, our crews work together to help ensure every shutdown is delivered safely, efficiently, and smoothly.

A big thank you to everyone involved for their commitment, teamwork, and focus as preparations continue. We look forward to another successful project delivery.

🚀 We’re excited to announce the launch of our new global website: https://sssgroup.global/

Built to support both our Australian and Canadian operations, the new site features the same SSS design and experience you know — now with dedicated access to our Canadian site in both English and French.

This marks an important step forward in our marketing and growth strategy as we continue expanding our presence across regions while maintaining the high-quality experience our clients and partners expect.

We’re proud of what this launch represents for the future of SSS and look forward to continuing to support our teams, clients, and projects both locally and internationally.

We hope you enjoy exploring the new website.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

We’re pleased to welcome James Sullivan into the role of Senior MLO Supervisor.

With a career spanning mining, military service, and business ownership, James brings a wealth of experience and a practical, well-rounded leadership style. From managing over 3,600 assets at Roy Hill to contributing to offshore Oil & Gas operations and supporting project delivery at SSS, he has developed strong expertise across planning, scheduling, safety, and ex*****on.

James’s strengths lie in his ability to adapt in dynamic environments, quickly implement effective solutions, and lead with a high level of emotional intelligence—particularly in high-pressure settings.

Looking ahead, he is focused on continuing to grow SSS by building a highly capable, specialised MLO team recognised for its expertise across the industry.

Please join us in congratulating James on his new role 👏

We’re pleased to welcome Nina Thomson to the SSS team as our new Safety Coordinator!

Nina brings several years of experience across the mining industry in both operational and safety roles with companies such as BHP and WesTrac. Having also worked shutdowns herself, she understands firsthand the long shifts, demanding work, and time away from home that many crews experience.

While her career has evolved, Nina says she hasn’t hung up her steel caps entirely and is looking forward to getting out on site to meet the crews she’ll be supporting across SSS operations.

Nina believes that while processes and terminology may differ from site to site, the core of safety remains the same — it’s about people. No one is just a number, and everyone plays a part in keeping themselves and their teammates safe.

She’s excited to be joining a team known for its high standards and practical approach to supporting shutdown operations, and looks forward to contributing to the continued growth of the business while helping strengthen the safety culture at SSS.

Please join us in welcoming Nina to the team. 👏

Between shutdowns in Kamloops, Paul Haines and Luke Archer made the most of their RNR this week with two days on the slopes at Sun Peaks Resort. 🏂❄️

Just a 45-minute drive from town — and from New Afton Gold Mine — it’s a pretty incredible way to spend a day off between projects.

From underground shutdowns to mountain runs… not a bad office view!

We’re excited to welcome Jeff Rozak to the SSS team as our new Canada Operations Manager!

Jeff brings 20+ years of industry experience, including nearly 10 years in field service management. Starting his career as a millwright with Weir Oil & Gas (now Caterpillar), Jeff built strong hands-on expertise before progressing into chargehand and supervisory roles, including Field Service Manager, where he led all field projects out of the Weir Edmonton facility.

Known for his practical, ground-up approach, Jeff excels at solving complex operational challenges and working closely with customers to deliver tailored solutions.

Jeff will play a key role in building our Canadian operations and supporting SSS’s continued global growth.

Please join us in welcoming Jeff to the team—we’re excited to have him on board! 👏
