Job Title: Civil/Mining Engineer

Job Overview: 

Clyde Companies is seeking a Civil or Mining Engineer with experience in mining operations, reclamation, and permitting to support our hard rock, sand, and gravel operations across the Intermountain West. 

This role integrates civil & mining engineering design applied to mining operations, mine planning, regulatory compliance, water resource considerations, and field-based problem solving to ensure efficient resource extraction, responsible reclamation, and long-term land use sustainability. 

This is a high-impact, highly visible position working closely with operations teams, leadership, and regulatory agencies. The ideal candidate is self-driven, comfortable in both office and field environments, and capable of managing multiple projects across a diverse portfolio of mining operations.

 

Key Responsibilities: 

Mine Planning & Reclamation 

  • Develop, update, and maintain mining and reclamation plans to optimize resource extraction while ensuring compliance with regulatory and operational requirements  

  • Monitor operations for adherence to approved plans (slopes, sequencing, setbacks, boundaries, etc.)  

  • Conduct site visits to evaluate mining activity, verify compliance, and identify improvement opportunities  

  • Plan and oversee reclamation activities to restore mined areas in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner  

  • Perform volumetric analysis, reserve calculations, and resource modeling  

  • Calculate reclamation and mining surety bonds  

  • Participate in regulatory inspections and support compliance efforts  

  • Prepare and submit required annual reports (Large, Small, and Limited Mine Progress Reports and Reclamation Permit Reports) 

Permitting, Land use & Compliance 

  • Manage land use and conditional use permitting (CUP), including annual compliance reviews  

  • Ensure compliance with zoning laws, permit conditions, and regulatory requirements  

  • 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  

  • Effective communicator with the ability to collaborate across technical teams and regulatory agencies 

What Makes This Role Unique: 

  • Work across a diverse portfolio of mining operations throughout the Intermountain West  

  • High level of ownership and autonomy with direct influence on operational success
