• Champion safety by integrating mine safety standards, risk controls, and contractor management into all project activities.
• Manage scope, schedule, and budget, maintaining baselines and controlling changes, risks, and contingencies.
• Plan underground execution including scheduling, access/ventilation constraints, material procurement and logistics, and coordination with production.
• Coordinate multi‑disciplinary engineering to ensure constructability, quality, compliance, and readiness for commissioning.
• Oversee procurement and contracts, including requisitions, contracting strategy, progress verification, and cost tracking.
• Maintain stakeholder alignment through routine communication with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, HSE, and contractors.

• Strong skills in project planning, scheduling (P6/​MS Project), cost control, and risk management.
• Experience coordinating multi‑discipline engineering, contractors, and procurement processes.
• Solid understanding of mine safety regulations, underground work practices, and contractor safety management.
• Proficiency with MS Office/365 and common project controls tools; SAP experience an asset.
• Professional designations such as P.Eng. or PMP considered an advantage.
• Ability to work underground and meet all site access, medical, and safety requirements.
