The Specialist, Mine Engineer - Arthur Gold Project (AGP) provides technical mining engineering expertise across short-, medium-, and long-term mine planning, pit design, drill-and-blast optimization, and production scheduling. This role bridges feasibility study requirements and active operational execution, ensuring that open-pit mine sequences, haulage networks, and waste rock storage facilities are optimized for safety, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and maximum economic value.

As a key technical operational engineer, this position partners closely with Geotechnical, Hydrogeology, Process, Site Maintenance, and Mine Operations teams to align daily material movement with long-term strategic plans across Nevada Projects.

• Develop, maintain, and optimize life-of-mine (LOM), medium-term, and short-range open-pit mine plans, ensuring alignment between strategic business plans and tactical pit operations.

• Deliver detailed phase designs, haul road layouts, ramp alignments, and waste dump / stockpile designs adhering to geotechnical slope stability parameters and equipment operating constraints.

• Design and optimize drill-and-blast patterns, powder factors, tie-in sequences, and wall-control blasting protocols to minimize vibration, prevent wall damage, and optimize fragmentation for downstream processing.

• Direct monthly mine production reconciliation (tonnes, grade, material types) comparing actual fleet production against short-term forecasts and reserve models to identify and correct variances.
• Conduct equipment productivity analyses, cycle time studies, and haulage simulations to optimize fleet allocation, fuel efficiency, and haul road maintenance schedules.

• Partner closely with Geotechnical and Hydrogeology teams to incorporate slope stability monitoring, radar data, depressurization layouts, and in-pit dewatering networks into active mine designs.

• Support mining contractor management, technical scope-of-work development, bid evaluations, and operational readiness activities leading into commercial production as required.

• Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline required.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (or progress toward licensure) and/or Member of SME / AusIMM preferred.
• Minimum 2+ years of progressive mine engineering experience within open-pit hard-rock mining or large-scale civil earthworks operations.
• Proven track record in open-pit design, production scheduling, drill-and-blast optimization, and fleet productivity analysis.
• Demonstrated experience with mining study progression (PFS/FS) through to operational startup and commercial production execution preferred.
• In-depth knowledge of open-pit mining methods, cut-off grade strategies, ore control workflows, mineral reserve calculations, and waste rock storage management.
• Practical understanding of heap leach stacking workflows, crusher feed constraints, and mill/plant blending requirements.
• Strong familiarity with mine safety regulations (MSHA), environmental permit constraints, and state mining compliance frameworks; familiarity with environmental reclamation standards and practices preferred.
• Practical knowledge of heavy equipment capabilities and safe operating procedures in surface mining applications.
• Advanced proficiency with industry-standard mine planning software (e.g., Hexagon Mine…
