Job description

Equinox Gold is a growth-focused Canadian mining company with four operating gold mines, and a clear path to achieve more than one million ounces of annual gold production from a pipeline of development and expansion projects.

Job Summary

Reporting to the SVP Technical Services, the Principal Mining Engineer (Underground) supports Equinox Gold’s technical services team by applying operational expertise across the company’s underground and, to a lesser extent, open-pit operations.

  • Provide advice on underground mining best practices.

Required Experience and Skill Set

  • 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.
