  • 10+ years of experience in mining engineering, primarily in operational roles.
  • Experience in underground mining (production engineer, superintendent, or manager roles).
  • Exposure to open-pit operations is an asset.
  • Experience with underground mining methods (longhole stoping, cut and fill, sublevel caving).
  • Experience in ground support design.
  • Exposure to underground automation and tele-remote systems (e.g., LHDs, trucks, drills).
  • Experience with equipment and mining method trade-offs.
  • Experience in ventilation, refrigeration, and mine services design and optimization.
  • Experience in mine planning.
  • Experience across commodities, preferably gold.
  • Continuous improvement experience is an asset.
  • Underground drill and blast experience (development and production).
  • Strong communication skills with a range of stakeholders, including senior management, technical teams, and operations.

Job Conditions

  • Fluency in Spanish is an asset.
  • Self-motivated with track record of successfully working independently.

Certifications

  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng. or equivalent).

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering or related discipline.

The salary range for this position is from $173,100.00 to $207,700.00.
