  • Support tailings and water management systems to ensure proper operation and environmental compliance
  • Lead and support continuous improvement and capital projects related to plant and process upgrades
  • Provide accurate operational data for reporting and planning purposes

Qualifications:
  • 5–10+ years of mining experience, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership role (concentrator experience required, copper preferred)
  • Strong knowledge of mineral processing, including crushers, grinding circuits, flotation, dewatering, and tailings systems
  • Proven leadership ability with experience managing teams, meeting KPIs, and driving performance
  • Experience with SOP development, training programs, and operational standardization
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
  • Effective communicator with the ability to coordinate across departments and levels
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and operational reporting tools
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field is an asset
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to work in physically demanding outdoor environments
