  • Collaborate with Operations, Geology, Survey, Geotechnical, Maintenance, and Ventilation teams to coordinate daily and weekly production activities.
  • Review and optimize mining sequences, stope extraction plans, and development priorities.
  • Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly production reports, forecasts, and performance metrics for site leadership.
  • Identify opportunities to improve mine productivity, equipment utilization, safety, and operating efficiency through continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Mine Engineers and Engineer-in-Training (EIT) personnel.
  • Support budgeting, production forecasting, and life-of-mine planning activities.
  • Ensure engineering work complies with company standards, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.
  • Promote a strong safety culture by integrating safety considerations into all production planning activities.

Requirements

  • Registered as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or eligible for registration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC).
  • 7+ years of mining engineering experience, with experience in underground hard rock mining.

  • Strong knowledge of underground mine planning, production scheduling, and operational optimization.
  • Experience using mine planning software such as Deswik, MineSched, Vulcan, Datamine, or similar.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams while working in a fast-paced operational environment.
  • Valid Class 5 driver's license.
