  • Maintain survey databases, drawings, plans, and spatial records.
  • Produce accurate maps, plans, sections, and 3D models.
  • Prepare volumetric calculations for ore extraction, stockpiles, waste dumps, and tailings facilities.
  • Generate periodic reports for management, regulatory agencies, and technical teams.
  • Ensure data integrity and proper document control.
  • Manage the use of GNSS/GPS equipment, total stations, laser scanners, drones/UAVs, and other survey technologies.
  • Oversee mine surveying software and GIS systems.
  • Evaluate and implement new technologies to improve efficiency, safety, and accuracy.
  • Ensure proper calibration and maintenance of survey equipment.
  • Ensure all survey activities comply with applicable mining laws, regulations, permits, and company policies.
  • Maintain legal mine boundaries and property records.
  • Support permitting, land management, and regulatory reporting requirements.
  • Provide survey documentation required for audits and inspections.

The above responsibilities are representative and may not include all assigned duties.

Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's Degree in Surveying, Geomatics, Geospatial Science, Mining Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 10+ years of progressive surveying experience within mining operations.
  • 5+ years in a supervisory or leadership role managing survey teams.
  • Experience in both surface and underground mining environments.
  • Experience with large-scale open pit, underground, or combined mining operations.
  • Demonstrated experience establishing and maintaining mine control networks.
  • Experience supporting mine planning, resource modeling, and production reconciliation.
  • Proven experience managing survey databases and spatial information systems.
  • Required certifications and licenses include but are not limited to:
    • Professional Land Surveyor (PLS), Professional Surveyor (PS), Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS), or equivalent registration as required by applicable jurisdiction.
    • Valid driver's license.
