  • Supporting delivery of projects valued at $50M+
  • Driving cost control, performance tracking, and risk mitigation
  • Working closely with operations, technical teams, and senior stakeholders

You Will Have

  • Degree in Civil or Mining Engineering (preferred) or equivalent experience
  • 8+ years' experience in project delivery within mining or heavy industry

Key Experience:

  • Tailings experience (design, construction, or operations)
  • Exposure to tailings storage facilities, leach pads, or water management systems
  • Experience working with earthmoving equipment and site-based technologies

Additional Strengths:

  • Leadership experience in operational or project environments
  • Strong stakeholder engagement across technical and site teams

This role offers a highly competitive total rewards package, including:

  • Base salary + performance bonus + long-term incentives
  • Employer-funded retirement contributions + 401(k) match
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance
