Job description

About Jerritt Canyon
The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies. Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations.
The Opportunity
The Senior Mining Engineer plays a key technical leadership role in supporting underground mine planning, design, and operational optimization at Jerritt Canyon. This position partners closely with Technical Services, Operations, and Geology teams to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective mining plans that support both near-term execution and longer-term strategic objectives.
This role requires a strong safety mindset, advanced technical expertise, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams while driving continuous improvement initiatives in a dynamic and evolving operational environment.
Responsibilities
  • Lead and support underground mine planning activities, including design, sequencing, scheduling, and optimization of mining operations.
  • Partner with the Operations and Geology teams to develop integrated mine plans aligned with production targets and business objectives.
  • Provide technical leadership in drill and blast design, stope design, and underground sequencing to optimize safety, productivity, and cost performance.
  • Support and contribute to life-of-mine (LOM), long-term, and short-term planning processes, including forecasting, budgeting, and progress tracking.
  • Maintain and actively manage a register of mine planning risks and opportunities, identifying mitigation strategies and value improvement initiatives.
  • Lead or contribute to technical studies and projects, including AFE development, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and capital project evaluations.
  • Analyze current mining practices and recommend improvements to enhance operational efficiency, productivity, and cost effectiveness.
  • Develop and implement systems, processes, and best practices to improve planning accuracy, reporting, and operational execution.
  • Support budget development and tracking, including cost forecasting and variance analysis.
  • Prepare and present technical reports, plans, and recommendations to site leadership and stakeholders.
  • Ensure all engineering deliverables meet required standards and are fit for purpose to support safe and effective operations.
  • Foster strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including operations personnel and contractors.
  • Identify and drive continuous improvement opportunities across mine planning, design, and execution.

The above duties and responsibilities are representative of the nature and level of work assigned and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • 5-10+ years of progressive experience in underground mining engineering, with strong exposure to mine planning, design, and operations.
  • Experience in conventional underground hard rock mining, preferably in gold operations.
  • Demonstrated experience in mine design, production scheduling (strategic and tactical), equipment selection, and economic evaluation.
  • Proficiency in mine planning and design software, with experience applying optimization techniques.
  • Knowledge of resource estimation, mineral inventory, and exploration methods is considered an asset.
  • Experience working in complex, multi-mine or multi-process environments preferred.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and 3D visualization skills, with the ability to evaluate technical data and develop sound recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
  • Strong commitment to safety, health, and environmental standards.

Equal Employment Opportunity
The Company is an equal employment opportunity employer committed to providing employment opportunities to employees and applicants in accordance with all applicable laws.
