• Ensure all engineering deliverables are fit-for-purpose and meet client expectations.
• Coach, mentor, and support the professional development of junior engineers and consultants.
• Contribute to project execution, technical reviews, and consulting assignments across multiple mining operations.
• Champion a strong safety culture and promote industry best practice across all activities.
• Undertake site visits and travel as required to support client deliverables and project outcomes.

• 7+ years' experience in technical and operational mining environments across a variety of mining methods.
• Strong experience in mine design, mine planning, scheduling, and mining studies.
• Demonstrated experience supporting Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve reporting.
