Technical Services Manager

About the Opportunity

The Technical Services Manager leads the site’s technical services team and is accountable for all aspects of mine engineering, geology, geotechnical, ventilation, and survey functions. The role ensures the safe and efficient execution of underground mining activities through accurate planning, technical governance, grade control, and risk management.

The Technical Services Manager works closely with operations leadership to optimize mine performance, maximize ore recovery, minimize dilution, and support the achievement of production and business objectives.

You are a strategic and results‑driven technical mining professional with extensive experience leading multidisciplinary teams in underground mining environments. With a strong background in mine engineering, geology, geotechnical engineering, ventilation, and mine planning, you excel at translating Life of Mine strategies into safe, practical, and executable operational plans. You are a collaborative leader who builds high‑performing teams, develops technical talent, and fosters a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Provide leadership and direction to the Mine Engineering, Geology, Geotechnical, Ventilation, and Survey teams.
• Ensure operational priorities are aligned with technical service forecasts, budgets, and Life of Mine objectives.
• Foster a high-performance culture focused on safety, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Mentor and develop technical personnel to build organizational capability and succession strength.
• Promote strong communication and collaboration between technical and operational departments.

• Lead the development and execution of short, medium, and long‑term underground mine plans aligned to budget.
• Translate Life of Mine strategy into executable weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual production plans.
• Ensure mine plans optimize ore recovery, equipment utilization, sequencing, ventilation constraints, and operational efficiency.
• Review and approve mine designs, development plans, stope designs, production schedules, and extraction strategies.
• Monitor plan compliance and adjust schedules to address operational, geotechnical or other constraints.

• Lead the Mine Production Geology team in delivering effective grade control and ore reconciliation practices.
• Alignment to maintain delineation drilling to support confidence in short‑term planning execution.
• Ensure accurate application of resource and reserve models in underground production areas.
• Minimize ore loss and dilution through effective geological interpretation and operational controls.
• Oversee reconciliation processes between resource models, mine production, and mill performance.
• Support exploration and resource development activities where required.

• Oversee geotechnical programs related to underground ground stability and rock mechanics.
• Ensure ground support standards, monitoring programs, and geotechnical controls are effectively implemented and updated regularly.
• Provide technical oversight for stope stability, sequencing, backfill strategies, and underground excavation design.
• Monitor and manage geotechnical risks to ensure safe underground working conditions.
• Lead investigations and mitigation plans related to ground control issues and geotechnical hazards.

• Ensure underground ventilation systems are designed and managed to support safe and efficient mining operations.
• Oversee ventilation planning to meet regulatory requirements and operational demands.
• Ensure compliance with mine design standards, engineering specifications, and Ontario mining regulations.
• Provide technical governance over underground infrastructure and active mining areas.

• Identify and proactively mitigate technical risks that may impact safety, production, or mine economics.
• Evaluate geological, geotechnical, ventilation, and operational risks within the mine plan.
