• Help shape and enhance consulting methodologies, tools, and intellectual property within the Mining Advisory practice.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mining, Metallurgy, Economics, Commerce, Finance, Business, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 8-15 years of professional experience within management consulting, strategy consulting, mining advisory, engineering consulting, corporate strategy, or project advisory environments.
• Demonstrated experience supporting mining and resource sector customers on strategic, commercial, or investment-related decisions.
• Strong understanding of the mining industry, including mining operations, processing, metals, critical minerals, and broader resource value chains.
