Hughes Collective is pleased to present an exciting opportunity on behalf of our client.
Role: Change Management (Project Controls) Coordinator
Location: Saskatoon, SK

Our Client
Denison Mines is redefining what uranium mining can be. Their projects fuel the world’s demand for clean energy while proving that resource development can be innovative, responsible, and deeply connected to community.
Denison will be the first in Canada to adopt ISR mining for uranium; demonstrating that mining can be cleaner, lower-impact, and more sustainable. They continue to pioneer new technologies, minimize environmental impact and build Indigenous partnerships regarded among the strongest in the industry.
What sets Denison apart is its culture: human, hands-on, hard-working, and high-performing. Leaders know their people, check in often, and roll up their sleeves alongside the team. Employees describe the workplace as welcoming and energetic, with a shared pride in doing things better.
Above all, Denison’s people know their work matters. They are driving climate solutions, advancing projects with integrity, and proving that mining can deliver not just energy; but a better future.
This is your chance to be part of building something new and at the forefront of Canada’s uranium industry; are you ready to lead?
The Opportunity
As Denison advances the Wheeler River Project, effective change management will play a critical role in project success. Every change to scope, schedule, or budget has the potential to impact outcomes, making disciplined decision-making essential.
As Change Management Coordinator, you will be at the center of that process. Working closely with project leaders, EPCM partners, and project controls teams, you will help evaluate, track, and manage project changes while ensuring decisions are supported by sound analysis and aligned with project objectives.
This role is ideal for someone who understands project controls and enjoys asking questions, challenging assumptions, and finding practical solutions. You’ll help protect project value, support informed decision-making, and contribute to the successful delivery of one of Canada’s most innovative uranium mining projects.
If you're looking for an opportunity to influence outcomes, work with a collaborative team, and play a meaningful role in a major development project, this is your chance to make an impact.

- Assess how proposed scope changes affect project budgets, schedules, and risk profiles.
- Support project leadership by providing clear analysis and recommendations regarding change implications.
- Challenge assumptions and investigate alternatives to ensure changes are necessary, justified, and aligned with project objectives.
- Assist in identifying opportunities to mitigate impacts through scope optimization, deferrals, or alternative solutions.
3. Risk Identification & Escalation
- Identify potential risks and issues associated with change requests and communicate concerns proactively.
- Prioritize change requests based on urgency, business impact, and project risk.
- Escalate critical changes that may affect safety, compliance, schedule, or budget performance.
- Support emergency escalation protocols when immediate action is required.
4. Stakeholder Coordination & Communication
- Serve as a key liaison between project teams, EPCM contractors, and internal stakeholders.
- Facilitate communication and alignment among technical, commercial, and project controls teams.
- Build strong working relationships that foster collaboration and accountability across the organization.

5. Project Controls & Reporting Support
- Maintain accurate records and reporting related to project changes.
- Ensure approved changes are properly reflected within SAP WBS structures and project control systems.
