To create sustainable value and strong returns by leveraging our core strengths in community relations, focused exploration, mine development and efficient operations.

The Hudbay Cactus project is proposing to construct a new copper Crush / Leach operation. This position is intended to own the technical support from ore crushing, stacking, leaching and the SX/EW process to produce LME Grade A copper cathode. The Senior Metallurgist is responsible for leading, supervising, and directing the metallurgical engineering and operational technical support for the Cactus Mine Project, with oversight of key EPCM consultants, metallurgical testwork, and processing design.

Reporting to the Sr. Engineering Manager, this position ensures full technical integrity, process optimization, safety in design, schedule adherence, scope control, and budget management across basic and detailed engineering design, trade‑off studies, pre‑feasibility/feasibility studies (PFS/FS), commissioning, and operational handover.

All work will be done with the mindset and values of Hudbay Minerals:
We care about our people, our communities and our planet. We value dignity and respect, caring, openness and trustworthiness.
