Round One Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

Kinross Round Mountain is a leading mining company dedicated to sustainable and safe mining practices. We are committed to innovation and excellence in all our operations. Join our team to contribute to challenging and rewarding projects in a dynamic and supportive environment. Round Mountain is renowned as one of the most geotechnically challenging mines in Nevada.

Our Round Mountain Technical Services team is seeking a Underground Surveyor Supervisor to lead the Underground Survey group for the Underground Mine at Round Mountain Gold Mine. Reporting to the UG Chief Mine Engineer, you will lead the underground survey department, manage survey standards and quality control, and provide accurate, timely spatial data to engineering, geology, and operations. This role will ensure that all underground workings, long-hole stopes, and infrastructure are surveyed, mapped, and reported to support safe and efficient mining. The underground is currently in its early development stages and now transitioning from exploration development to capital development. This is a great opportunity for a motivated individual to build the foundation for the underground survey group, standards, and procedures that will be used for the life of mine.  Qualified candidates may be eligible for both a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance.
