2. Support the Assurance Manager in delivering and overseeing the annual ICFR audit (SOX and CSOX), including planning, resource mobilization, work paper preparation, quality reviews, reporting to management and auditors, and maintaining audit KPIs.
3. Support and/or lead other compliance audits, strategic risk- assurance reviews, advisory engagements, or special projects related to mining operations or functions such as Commercial, Projects, Finance, IT, Legal, Sustainability, and Human Resources throughout the engagement lifecycle.
4. Document, analyze, communicate, and present observations and root causes of issues related to engagement procedures across organizational levels.
5. Assist management in identifying and assessing risks and controls or process improvements to meet organizational objectives.
6. Develop recommendations to strengthen internal controls or improve efficiency, effectiveness, profitability, or other objectives.
7. Follow up to ensure remediation actions from audits and assurance engagements are properly implemented.
8. Assist A&A leadership with ad-hoc audits, investigations, and lead strategic continuous improvement initiatives as assigned.
9. Continuously develop understanding of Teck's operations, key projects, and the broader mining industry.
