Overview

Job Title: Civil/Mining Engineer

Job Overview:

Clyde Companies is seeking a Civil or Mining Engineer with experience in mining operations, reclamation, and permitting to support our hard rock, sand, and gravel operations across the Intermountain West.

This role integrates civil & mining engineering design applied to mining operations, mine planning, regulatory compliance, water resource considerations, and field-based problem solving to ensure efficient resource extraction, responsible reclamation, and long-term land use sustainability.

This is a high-impact, highly visible position working closely with operations teams, leadership, and regulatory agencies. The ideal candidate is self-driven, comfortable in both office and field environments, and capable of managing multiple projects across a diverse portfolio of mining operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Mine Planning & Reclamation

• Develop, update, and maintain mining and reclamation plans to optimize resource extraction while ensuring compliance with regulatory and operational requirements

• Monitor operations for adherence to approved plans (slopes, sequencing, setbacks, boundaries, etc.)

• Conduct site visits to evaluate mining activity, verify compliance, and identify improvement opportunities

• Plan and oversee reclamation activities to restore mined areas in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner

• Perform volumetric analysis, reserve calculations, and resource modeling

• Calculate reclamation and mining surety bonds

• Participate in regulatory inspections and support compliance efforts

• Prepare and submit required annual reports (Large, Small, and Limited Mine Progress Reports and Reclamation Permit Reports)

Permitting, Land use & Compliance

• Manage land use and conditional use permitting (CUP), including annual compliance reviews

• Ensure compliance with zoning laws, permit conditions, and regulatory requirements

• Conduct property due diligence, including evaluation of mining plans, reclamation obligations, and land use entitlements

• Serve as a liaison between operations teams and regulatory agencies

• Support water rights management, including applications, monitoring, and reporting

• Help standardize best practices across multiple operations

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Mining Engineering (or closely related field)

• 4–8 years of experience in mining, reclamation, land development, or similar civil engineering work

• Experience with permitting, regulatory compliance, and site development

• Working knowledge of mining operations and reclamation practices

Preferred:

• Experience with surface hard rock and alluvial mining, including permitting, operations, and reclamation planning

• Familiarity with federal and state regulatory frameworks (e.g., NEPA, Clean Water Act, BLM 43 CFR 3809, and analogous SMCRA-style requirements)

• Experience in the Intermountain West (UT, ID, WY, CO, NV, AZ)

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, GIS (ArcGIS), Propeller, or similar geospatial and design tools

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills

• Effective communicator with the ability to collaborate across technical teams and regulatory agencies

What Makes This Role Unique:

• Work across a diverse portfolio of mining operations throughout the Intermountain West

• High level of ownership and autonomy with direct influence on operational success

• Balanced mix of engineering design, regulatory work, and field engagement

• Opportunity to shape long-term reclamation and land use strategies

Compensation & Benefits:
