Who are we looking for?

GHD is seeking an experienced Senior Mining Project Director to provide delivery leadership, governance, and assurance across complex environmental programs supporting the Mining value stream. This role is ideal for a senior professional who thrives in regulated environments and brings a strong track record of compliant, defensible, and repeatable project delivery for owner operators.

As a Senior Project Director, you are a trusted advisor to clients, comfortable operating at the intersection of technical delivery, regulatory compliance, and program governance. You bring deep familiarity with state mining laws, consent orders, and cleanup criteria, and you know how to embed QA/QC, verification, and documentation controls into day-to-day execution, so compliance is achieved by design, not inspection.

Success in this role requires lateral thinking, decisiveness, and the ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams through ambiguity while maintaining schedule, quality, and regulatory certainty.

Hybrid work: Our workplace thrives on a hybrid model, combining in-office collaboration and flexibility. Join us in office, 3 days a week to contribute, connect and excel in our vibrant environment. This role can be based in any of our offices in Greater Toronto area, Mississauga, Markham, Edmonton, Halifax, Fredericton, St. John's, Calgary, or Vancouver.

Working with an energetic and high performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:

• Approve project planning and ensure fit-for-purpose execution plans (scope, schedule, resourcing, risk, and stakeholder communication).
• Lead monthly project health checks to confirm regulatory status, schedule adherence, technical progress, risks, and subcontractor performance; assign corrective actions and document closeout.
• Maintain documentation and traceability: ensure outputs are tracked, issued/received transmittals are recorded, and an audit trail is maintained for key deliverables (plans, analytical packages, reports, submittals, meeting notes, corrective actions).
• Ensure communications, reporting plans, and deadline control are defined during initiation/planning and actively tracked to meet reporting obligations on time.
• Oversee vendor and subcontractor governance, including use of prequalified vendors, review of work plans/procedures, and verification pathways consistent with deliverable requirements.
• Enforce output verification and quality requirements prior to external use; ensure competent check/review and director approval are completed and evidenced in the project workspace.
• Coordinate with the Program Manager on escalations, decision rights, and alignment to program-level governance and performance measures.
• Drive a culture of safety, compliance, and continuous improvement—controls embedded in workflows, not added later.

What you will bring to the team:

• Demonstrated leadership of complex or high-risk projects within regulated environments.
• Strong grasp of project governance, assurance/verification, and documentation controls.
• Experience managing multi-disciplinary teams, vendors, and subcontractors.
• Strong planning, reporting, and stakeholder communication capabilities.
• Experience using PMBOK-aligned tools such as communication/reporting plan templates, WBS-based planning, and structured health checks.
• Experience with integrated data pipelines and dashboards that support compliance and performance visibility.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Geoscience, Geology, Environmental Science or related field
• PG will be highly regarded
• 10+ years of progressive experience delivering environmental or mining projects, including leadership of complex, high-risk, or regulator-driven programs, including environmental remediation and site assessments, report writing, data management & interpretation, project coordination, and managing clients
• OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER certification a plus
• Ability and willingness to travel client meetings is required
• Experience with repeatable, high-volume programs where standardization and automation are used to improve efficiency.
• Familiarity with analytics dashboards and data management practices that support compliance tracking and decision-making.
