- Optimize reconciliation practices of ore control models against production across operations.
- Identify and address sources of bias or variance between short to medium‑range models, production results, and mill performance, while partnering with the site teams.
- Provide oversight and technical review of long‑range mineral resource models, ensuring alignment with operational data and reconciliation outcomes.
- Support annual and interim mineral resource updates, including assumptions, estimation methodologies, classification, and documentation.
- Act as a Qualified Person (QP) for mineral resource estimates and technical disclosures, as required.
- Ensure mineral resource models are compliant with applicable reporting standards (e.g., S‑K 1300, NI 43‑101, as applicable).
- Lead and review geostatistical analyses, including variography, domaining strategies, estimation methodologies, and model validation.
- Drive continuous improvement in modeling workflows, reconciliation methodologies, and integration of operational data.
- Evaluate and implement best‑practice tools, software, and technologies for ore control and mineral resource modeling.
- Provide functional leadership and mentorship to site‑based and corporate geologists.
- Serve as a key interface between geology, mine planning, metallurgy, and operations.
- Support internal and external technical reviews, audits, and due diligence activities.
- Contribute to long‑term geological strategy and capability development across the organization.
- Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or related discipline.
- 10‑15+ years of progressive experience in mine geology, ore control, and mineral resource modeling.
- Significant operational experience in active mining environments (open pit and/or underground).
- Demonstrated experience with mine‑to‑mill reconciliation and integration of production data.
- Strong geostatistics background, including variography, estimation, and model validation.
- Recognized Qualified Person (QP) status under applicable reporting codes.
- Proven experience working across multiple sites and influencing without direct authority.
- Advanced proficiency with industry‑standard geological and modeling software.
- Experience in precious metals operations.
- Prior accountability for public mineral resource disclosure.
- Experience leading corporate‑level technical initiatives or standards.
- Strong technical judgment combined with practical operational mindset.
- Ability to bridge short‑term operational needs with long‑term mineral resource integrity.
- Clear communicator capable of engaging site teams, executives, and external reviewers.
