Senior Short-Term Planning Engineer

Hudbay (TSX, NYSE: HBM) is a copper-focused mining company with three long-life operations and a world-class pipeline of copper growth projects in tier-one mining-friendly jurisdictions of Canada, Peru, and the United States.

Hudbay's operating portfolio includes the Constancia mine in Cusco (Peru), the Snow Lake operations in Manitoba (Canada) and the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia (Canada). Copper is the primary metal produced by the Company, which is complemented by meaningful gold production and by-product zinc, silver and molybdenum. Hudbay's growth pipeline includes the Copper World project in Arizona (United States), the Cactus project in Arizona (United States), the Mason project in Nevada (United States), the Llaguen project in La Libertad (Peru) and several expansion and exploration opportunities near its existing operations.

The value Hudbay creates and the impact it has is embodied in its purpose statement: “We care about our people, our communities, and our planet. Hudbay provides the metals the world needs. We work sustainably, transform lives, and create better futures for communities.” Hudbay’s mission is to create sustainable value and strong returns by leveraging its core strengths in community relations, focused exploration, mine development and efficient operations.

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

Reporting to the Short-Term Planning Superintendent, the Senior Short-Term Planning Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and implementing daily, weekly, and monthly mine plans that ensure a safe, efficient, and cost-effective extraction of ore and waste in Hudbay Copper World open-pit mining operation. This role focuses on translating long-term strategic goals into actionable operational plans, managing geological and geotechnical constraints, and collaborating closely with mine operations, processing, geology, and other technical teams to maximize production and achieve key performance indicators.

• Mine Plan Development & Optimization:
  • Develop detailed daily, weekly, and monthly production schedules (dig plans, drill and blast plans, haulage plans) that align with the overall mine strategy and budget.
  • Optimize short-term plans to maximize ore recovery, minimize dilution, optimize haulage routes, and ensure efficient equipment utilization (trucks, excavators/shovels, drills).
  • Incorporate geological models, geotechnical parameters, metallurgical recoveries, processing constraints, operating cost and survey data into short-term plans.
  • Generate practical, safe and achievable plans considering operational constraints, equipment availability, as well as Social, Environmental and Permitting regulations.
• Ore Control – Ore/Waste Delineation:
  • Interpret geological and assay data (blast hole assays, chip samples, trench samples) to create daily/weekly ore polygons and dig block boundaries.
  • Develop and update ore control STP models and block models based on incoming data.
  • Define precise ore and waste outlines (polygons) for excavation, ensuring accurate classification of material.
  • Minimize ore dilution and maximize ore recovery through effective boundary management.
  • Implement and manage ore control procedures, including sampling protocols, data management, material routing (Mill Feed / Stockpile /Construction/ Waste), and QA/QC processes for blast holes and other grade control samples.
  • Monitor and reconcile production including Mill feed grades against planned grades and geological models.
  • Management of Stockpiling.
  • Identify discrepancies in grade data, ensuring data integrity.
