  • Conduct property due diligence, including evaluation of mining plans, reclamation obligations, and land use entitlements  

  • Serve as a liaison between operations teams and regulatory agencies  

  • Support water rights management, including applications, monitoring, and reporting 

Training & Coordination 

  • Provide on-site training related to mining plans, reclamation, and compliance requirements  

  • Support development and delivery of group training programs  

  • Collaborate with operations, environmental teams, and leadership to align mine planning with business goals  

  • Help standardize best practices across multiple operations 

Qualifications:

Required: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Mining Engineering (or closely related field)  

  • 4–8 years of experience in mining, reclamation, land development, or similar civil engineering work  

  • Experience with permitting, regulatory compliance, and site development  

  • Working knowledge of mining operations and reclamation practices 

Preferred: 

  • Experience with surface hard rock and alluvial mining, including permitting, operations, and reclamation planning  

  • Familiarity with federal and state regulatory frameworks (e.g., NEPA, Clean Water Act, BLM 43 CFR 3809, and analogous SMCRA-style requirements)  

  • Experience in the Intermountain West (UT, ID, WY, CO, NV, AZ)  

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, GIS (ArcGIS), Propeller, or similar geospatial and design tools  

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
