What is a lithium mining job?

A Lithium Mining job involves extracting lithium-bearing minerals from the earth, typically from hard rock (spodumene) or brine deposits. Workers in this field may operate heavy machinery, oversee extraction processes, or conduct environmental and safety assessments. Jobs can range from entry-level labor positions to specialized roles such as geologists, engineers, and technicians. Lithium mining is essential for producing batteries used in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and electronic devices. Employees must adhere to environmental regulations and safety measures due to the chemical nature of lithium extraction.

What does a typical workday look like in a lithium mining position?

In a lithium mining role, your day often starts with a safety briefing followed by operation and maintenance of mining equipment, monitoring extraction processes, and sampling materials to ensure quality standards. You’ll work closely with engineers, equipment operators, and environmental specialists to address challenges and optimize production. Shifts may vary depending on the mining site, and the environment can be physically demanding and outdoors, often requiring strict adherence to safety and environmental regulations. Teamwork and communication are central, as coordination is needed for both daily operations and emergency situations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a lithium mining position?

Excelling in a lithium mining role requires knowledge of mining operations, equipment handling, and a background in geology or mining engineering. Familiarity with industry-standard mining machinery, safety protocols, environmental regulations, and relevant certifications such as MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) are often necessary. Strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills help individuals work safely and efficiently in a dynamic, physically demanding environment. These abilities ensure effective extraction of lithium resources while maintaining high safety standards and environmental compliance.

Phoenix, AZ • On-site

$80K - $95K/yr

Full-time

Job description

Civil/Structural Engineer – Mining & Industrial

Location: Phoenix, AZ (Onsite)

Role Type: Direct Hire

The Opportunity

Are you a versatile engineer who excels at both site-wide civil infrastructure and the high-precision world of structural design? We are seeking a Civil/Structural Engineer to join our premier EPCM hub in Phoenix.

In this dual-disciplinary role, you will be responsible for the integrity of the structures that power the mining industry. From massive concrete equipment foundations to complex steel supports and industrial buildings, you will lead the design, analysis, and construction oversight that ensures operational safety and technical excellence across the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advanced Structural Design: Lead the design and analysis of steel structures, equipment supports, and heavy concrete foundations specifically for mining and mineral processing facilities.

  • Civil Infrastructure Oversight: Oversee civil works, including excavation, embankments, road design, and buried services, ensuring seamless integration with structural elements.

  • Contract & Site Leadership: Act as the contractual manager for civil and structural works. Direct site supervisors and contractors to ensure performance meets safety, environmental, and quality standards.

  • Design & Review: Prepare engineering proposals, budgets, and estimates. Produce and sign off on construction drawings and calculations, ensuring they meet industry-specific codes and standards.

  • Technical Interface: Liaise with clients, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams to solve complex technical problems on-site and in the design office.

  • Quality & Compliance: Conduct regular site inspections and audits to ensure construction matches the initial plan and complies with all safety and statutory requirements.

Professional Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (Structural specialization preferred).

  • Licensure: Registered Professional Engineer (PE).

  • Experience: 5+ years in a multi-disciplinary EPCM environment with a specific focus on Mining or Heavy Industrial projects.

  • Technical Mastery: Proven experience in structural design and analysis (concrete foundations, steel structures, and industrial buildings).

  • Software: High proficiency in 3D design for mining infrastructure and structural analysis software.

  • Risk Management: Demonstrated ability to manage high-level engineering risks relating to complex industrial systems and infrastructure.

Why This Role?

This is a rare opportunity for an engineer who doesn't want to be "pigeonholed." You get to own the full civil/structural scope of a project—from the dirt to the steel. Joining this global ECPM group in Phoenix means direct involvement in the massive capital projects currently driving the copper and lithium sectors in North America.
