    • Mine operations planning;
    • Development of mining infrastructure;
    • Operational management and expansions;
    • Site closure and reclamation.
  • Support climate change adaptation strategies.

Collaboration and influence
  • Work closely with our specialized teams in tailings management, geotechnics, environment, and infrastructure.
  • Coach and mentor intermediate and junior water management engineers.
  • Contribute to the evolution of internal technical practices.
  • Participate, depending on interest, in business development, project leadership, and/or people management.

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Significant experience in surface water management, ideally in a mining context;
  • Demonstrated ability to exercise senior technical judgment and influence decision-making;
