About Hudbay:

Hudbay (TSX, NYSE: HBM) is a copper-focused mining company with three long-life operations and a world-class pipeline of copper growth projects in tier-one mining-friendly jurisdictions of Canada, Peru, and the United States.

Hudbay’s operating portfolio includes the Constancia mine in Cusco (Peru), the Snow Lake operations in Manitoba (Canada) and the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia (Canada). Copper is the primary metal produced by the company, which is complemented by meaningful gold production. Hudbay’s growth pipeline includes the Copper World project in Arizona, the Mason project in Nevada (United States), the Llaguen project in La Libertad (Peru) and several expansion and exploration opportunities near its existing operations.

The value Hudbay creates and the impact it has is embodied in its purpose statement: “We care about our people, our communities, and our planet. Hudbay provides the metals the world needs. We work sustainably, transform lives, and create better futures for communities.” Hudbay’s mission is to create sustainable value and strong returns by leveraging its core strengths in community relations, focused exploration, mine development and efficient operations.

Mission:

To create sustainable value and strong returns by leveraging our core strengths in community relations, focused exploration, mine development and efficient operations.

Purpose of Role:

The Mine Development Planner (MDP) acts as the primary link between long-term strategic planning and physical site execution. The role is responsible for leading the "pioneering" planning phase, which involves overseeing the critical transition of raw terrain into a functional, large-scale open-pit mining operation.

ROLE ACCOUNTABILITIES:

  • Pioneering & Infrastructure: Oversee early-stage site preparation, including clearing, grubbing, topsoil management, and the strategic sequencing of haul roads, drainage systems, and waste rock dumps.
  • Strategic Alignment: Develop 0–2 year schedules to ensure immediate "boots-on-the-ground" work aligns with Life of Mine (LOM) goals and does not interfere with future pit expansions.
  • Water & Risk Management: Design essential diversion systems and drainage for year-round stability and ensure all initial ramps and catch benches meet strict geotechnical safety requirements.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all early development and earthworks comply with environmental permits and safety standards, such as MSHA or OSHA.
  • Contractor Oversight: Manage specialized earthmoving contractors who are typically utilized during the early stages of mine development.
  • Operational Liaison: Serve as a "translator" between the mine planning office and the field operations team to navigate unexpected geological or hydrological conditions.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION:

  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience: 5–8+ years of experience in large-scale open-pit mining.
  • Technical Proficiency: Expertise in industry-standard mine planning software, specifically Deswik or Hexagon, and Civil 3D.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: A deep understanding of environmental permitting and safety regulations (MSHA/OSHA).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Greenfield Specialization: A proven track record specifically in pioneering, greenfield development, or the start-up and expansion phases of a mine.
  • Advanced Modeling: Proficiency in 4D modeling (integrating 3D space with time evolution).
  • Heavy Earthworks: Specific experience managing heavy earthworks and the contractors associated with these activities.
  • Complex Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to visualize spatial evolution and quickly adjust designs to meet field conditions.
