Role Overview/Description:
A Mine Engineer (Mining Engineer) plans and oversees the safe and efficient development of mines and other surface or underground operations where earth materials are extracted. In this role, you will combine principles of engineering, geology, and economics to design mine layouts, determine extraction methods, and optimize production schedules.

• The Mine Engineer evaluates the viability of mineral deposits, prepares technical plans for excavation (including tunnels, pits, haul roads, and support infrastructure), and implements the latest technologies to maximize resource recovery while minimizing cost and environmental impact.
• You will work closely with geologists to understand the deposit, and with operations teams to coordinate drilling, blasting, and material handling. A key part of the role is ensuring that all mining activities meet safety regulations and that the mine is developed in a sustainable manner that addresses environmental and reclamation requirements.
• This is a critical position that serves as the bridge between the mine’s geological information and its day-to-day production practices, ultimately responsible for turning plans on paper into real-world mining operations.

Responsibilities:

• Mine Design & Planning: Create detailed mine designs and layouts for both surface and underground operations, including pit designs, stope layouts, haulage routes, ventilation plans, and ground support systems.
• Operations Management: Oversee and coordinate daily mining operations to ensure adherence to the mine plan. Monitor production metrics and work closely with mine foremen and supervisors to implement plans on the ground and resolve any operational issues.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure all mining activities comply with health and safety regulations as well as environmental standards.
• Resource Evaluation: Collaborate with exploration and geology teams to interpret geological data and model the ore body.
• Technology Implementation: Introduce and utilize advanced mining technologies to improve operations (e.g., automated equipment, mine planning and scheduling software, real-time monitoring systems).
• Budgeting & Scheduling: Prepare project budgets, cost estimates, and production schedules for mine development and operation phases.
• Team Coordination: Work closely with other departments and stakeholders – including geologists, metallurgists, environmental specialists, maintenance, and management.
• Mentoring & Supervision: Depending on seniority, supervise junior engineers, technicians, or mine planning staff.
• Reporting & Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of mine plans, engineering analyses, and design changes. Write technical reports, such as feasibility studies, periodic mine progress reports, and incident investigation reports.
• Environmental and Reclamation Planning: Incorporate environmental considerations into mine planning, such as planning waste dump and tailings storage locations, water management, and eventual mine closure and land reclamation activities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering or a closely related field (required)
• A Master’s degree in Mining Engineering, Mineral Engineering, or Geotechnical Engineering can be an asset for advanced technical roles or advancement.
• Professional Engineer (P Eng or PE) licensure, or the ability to attain such certification, is highly desirable.
• Experience:
