  • Monitor mining activities to ensure compliance with approved mine plans, safety standards, and operational objectives.
  • Prepare and update short- and medium-term mine designs, production schedules, and excavation sequences.
  • Design and coordinate drill and blast programs to support efficient rock fragmentation and mining performance.
  • Develop and maintain ore stockpile, waste dump, and haul road designs to optimize operational efficiency.
  • Monitor ore and waste movement to ensure material is placed according to plan and in compliance with environmental and operational requirements.
  • Analyze production data and key performance indicators to identify opportunities for operational improvement and cost reduction.
  • Collect, review, and report geotechnical monitoring data, identifying potential risks and recommending corrective actions as required.
  • Collaborate with geology and grade control teams to ensure accurate ore delineation and resource utilization.
  • Support survey activities and validate mine designs against field conditions.
  • Conduct field inspections to verify mining progress, identify operational challenges, and ensure adherence to engineering standards.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and engineering documentation for management and regulatory requirements.
  • Participate in safety initiatives, risk assessments, and continuous improvement programs.
  • Work collaboratively with operations, maintenance, environmental, and geology teams to achieve production and business objectives.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in open pit mining operations.
  • Experience with mine planning and design software such as Vulcan, MineSight, or similar 3D CAD platforms.
  • Experience developing mine plans, production schedules, and drill and blast designs.
  • Strong understanding of open pit mining methods, mine design principles, and operational best practices.
  • Experience with geotechnical monitoring, slope management, and mine safety programs is considered an asset.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and data analysis tools.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively across multiple departments.
  • Ability to perform regular field work in an active mining environment while maintaining a strong commitment to safety.
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) status is considered an asset.
