MineSpec Resources is seeking an experienced Senior Project Coordinator (Mining Construction - Civil / Earthworks) to lead complex industrial and mining infrastructure projects across Canada and the United States.

This is a field-focused leadership role for construction professionals who thrive in fast-paced industrial environments and have experience managing multidisciplinary scopes in active construction settings.

You will work alongside experienced construction professionals delivering technically challenging mining and industrial projects while benefiting from a rotational schedule designed to support both strong compensation and long-term sustainability.

At MineSpec, we focus on practical construction execution and field-driven leadership. We build experienced, highly capable project teams that solve problems, collaborate effectively, and deliver quality work safely and efficiently.

• $125,000 - $150,000 USD annual compensation, depending on experience and assignment
• 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off rotational schedule
• Opportunity to spend significant time at home between project rotations
• All project-related travel, accommodations, meals, and transportation covered
• Long-term career growth opportunities
• Exposure to large-scale mining and industrial infrastructure projects

MineSpec is focused on building a long-term, high-performance culture. We believe exceptional project leadership should not require sacrificing your entire personal life. This role delivers execution-driven support directly in the field, offering a dynamic environment working alongside high-performing construction professionals. Our work arrangements are designed to support both strong annual compensation and long-term sustainability for our people and their families.

Typical work arrangements for this role include:

Site-focused, rotational field assignments designed to keep project timelines moving seamlessly.

Travel to remote project sites across Canada, with occasional assignments in the United States depending on project needs.

Adaptable rotation schedules (including local site-based, rotational/FIFO, or hybrid) tailored to the specific assignment.

The Senior Project Coordinator supports site execution by driving day-to-day project coordination, tracking, and reporting across mining civil construction scopes. This role works closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, client representatives, and contractor teams to keep field execution organized, constraints removed, and deliverables moving.

Unlike a traditional corporate coordinator role, this position is heavily site-focused and execution-driven, requiring tight interaction across project controls, engineering, procurement, logistics, and field operations. Depending on the project structure, assignments may include both owner's team support and contractor-facing delivery support.

The successful candidate will coordinate and support projects across multiple civil and earthworks areas:

• Tailings Infrastructure: Starter dams, raises, embankments, liner interface coordination, and associated water management works.
• Haul Roads & Access Roads: Clearing/grubbing, earthworks, drainage, aggregate placement, surfacing, and winter roads (where applicable).
• Water Management: Diversions, ditches, culverts, sediment ponds, dewatering coordination, and pumping systems (civil interface).
• Bulk Earthworks: Mass excavation, open-pit development, fill placement, compaction control, pads, laydown areas, and plant/site grading.
• Rock Excavation & Drill-and-Blast Interface: Coordination-level integration with the overall earthworks plan.
• Civil Infrastructure: Foundations prep, concrete interface coordination, and minor structures/temporary works as required.

• Support site execution for mining civil/earthworks scopes by coordinating deliverables, priorities, and short-interval planning.
• Maintain and update look-ahead plans, work packages, constraint logs, and action registers; drive closure with accountable owners.
• Track quantities, production progress, and key milestones; contribute to daily/weekly reporting and client updates.
• Coordinate RFIs, field instructions, technical queries, and document control to ensure field teams have current information.
• Support change management by identifying potential changes, maintaining logs, compiling backup, and assisting with schedule/cost impact inputs.
• Coordinate procurement and logistics activities (materials, equipment, rentals, freight) to maintain field readiness.
• Assist with schedule updates (P6/MS Project inputs), progress measurement, and forecasting under the direction of the PM/Project Controls.
• Support meeting cadence (daily huddles, weekly coordination, subcontractor meetings): agendas, minutes, actions, and follow-up.
• Interface with contractors/subcontractors to align work fronts and ensure requirements are understood (quality, HSE, environmental, sequencing).
• Reinforce site safety and environmental compliance expectations through planning, documentation, and proactive coordination.
• Support turnover/closeout activities including as-builts, completion tracking, and handover documentation (scope-dependent).

Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate extensive experience working on the General Contractor side of heavy civil earthworks or mining construction projects. MineSpec was built around experienced construction professionals from Tier 1 General Contractors, and we place significant value on candidates who bring practical field execution expertise.

• Experience: Typically 3-7 years of overall construction experience with progressive responsibility in project coordination, field/project controls support (mining or heavy civil preferred).
• Sector Exposure: Demonstrated exposure to civil construction scopes in active operations or major capital projects.
• Project Controls: Strong working knowledge of project controls fundamentals: quantity tracking, progress measurement, change management, reporting, schedule inputs, and forecasting support.
• Contract Administration: Working knowledge of contract administration support: RFIs, field instructions, change logs, back-up documentation, and correspondence tracking.
• Software Proficiency: High proficiency with Excel, alongside exposure to scheduling software (Primavera P6 and/or MS Project) and document control systems.
• Digital Tools (Asset): Prior exposure to AI-assisted no-code/low-code platforms used to build internal tools and automations (e.g., Lovable, Retool, Bubble, Airtable, Zapier/Make).
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, follow-through, and stakeholder coordination skills in fast-paced field environments.
• Safety & Compliance: Safety-minded with an understanding of environmental compliance expectations on civil construction sites.
• Travel & Eligibility: Candidates must be legally eligible to work in the United States and willing to travel to remote project sites across the US. Occasional travel to projects sites in Canada may be required depending on project needs.

The following educational and experience backgrounds will be considered:

• Engineering / Tech: Post-secondary education in engineering (mining/civil), construction management, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience-Based Paths: Trade-based leadership backgrounds or progressive field-acquired technical experience gained through successful project delivery.

MineSpec recognizes that exceptional project leaders come from a variety of career paths. We value practical field experience, quantity tracking precision, and execution capability above purely theoretical knowledge.

This role is a site-focused, execution-driven position that requires flexibility and travel based on active project locations.

• Travel Commitments: Travel to project sites and flexibility in work location based on active assignments. Full eligibility to travel for work across Canada and potentially the USA is required.
• Rotational Structure: Rotations, schedules, and travel requirements vary by project (e.g., local site-based, rotational/FIFO, or hybrid assignments).
• Environment: Candidates must be completely comfortable operating within remote locations and demanding field environments typical of mining civil construction.

Please submit your resume outlining:

• Relevant mining civil / earthworks experience.
• Exposure to specific civil scopes such as tailings dam construction and drill & blast coordination.
• Experience with quantity tracking, progress reporting, and handling field deliverables.
• History working in remote, rotational, or FIFO environments.

Only candidates selected for further consideration will be contacted.
