Principal, Project Metallurgist

About the Role

Reporting to the VP, Metallurgy & Process Engineering, the Principal, Project Metallurgist serves as the senior technical authority and subject matter expert (SME) for metallurgical and process engineering across Torex Gold’s project portfolio. This role provides technical leadership through the full project lifecycle, from early‑stage studies through engineering, commissioning, and operational readiness.

The Principal, Project Metallurgist ensures metallurgical integrity in process design, oversees metallurgical test work and consultant deliverables, and supports optimization initiatives across the Morelos Complex and future development projects. Working closely with corporate and site teams, the role ensures that metallurgical solutions are technically robust, aligned with project objectives, and ready for successful operational implementation.

Our purpose is to transform finite mineral resources into lasting prosperity by positively impacting all the lives we touch.

We are a Canadian mining company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of gold, copper, and silver from our flagship Morelos Complex in Guerrero, which is currently Mexico’s largest single gold producer. The Company also owns the advanced stage Los Reyes gold‑silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico, and recently acquired a portfolio of early‑stage exploration properties, including the Batopilas and Guigui projects in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Gryphon and Medicine Springs projects in Nevada, USA.

Torex consistently delivers on our commitments guided by our key strategic objectives: optimization of Morelos production and costs; disciplined growth and capital allocation; growth of reserves and resources; excellence in project delivery; retention and attraction of best industry talent; and being an industry leader in responsible mining.

We have proven over the past decade that we can make a positive impact on people’s lives and the environment around us, all while improving safety, achieving operational efficiencies, realizing cost reductions, and generating positive return on investment. This is what makes us strong. This is the Torex way.
