We design the largest, deepest, and most technically challenging mines in the world – doing it sustainably by reducing energy usage, adopting clean energy sources, and implementing digital solutions and automation.

Your Opportunity

Stantec is seeking a construction leader with field experience in the mining sector. This person will oversee construction management activities on mining projects in the Arizona area.

After being onboarded, this person may have the opportunity to work on more than one site, collaborating with a mining team that provides oversight of a construction contractor’s execution.

Most of your time will be on site; however, you may occasionally be required to visit the Stantec offices. Qualified candidates will have relevant field experience and have worked on projects that included above‑ground, below‑ground, and shaft, headframe, and hoist house related construction activity.

This is a leadership role, including daily interaction with the client, the Stantec team, workers, general contractors, and subcontractors.

We are seeking candidates that reside in or near Arizona or are willing to relocate or can travel to remote site locations and the PMO offices.

• Ensure contractor compliance with plans, specifications, and safety requirements.
• Act as the primary interface between client, contractor, oversight representatives, regulatory agencies, and utility stakeholders.
• Monitor progress and delays of contractor’s project schedule.
• Review daily inspection reports for completeness and accuracy; review material test reports for compliance with specifications.
• Coordinate document control and construction records management.
• Review plans, specifications, requests for information, submittals, construction schedules, shop drawings, change orders, pay applications, and quality assurance.
• Coordinate project outage integration plans with multiple stakeholders.
• Support testing, commissioning, and start‑up activities performed by others.
• Manage the post‑construction phase, preparing and submitting final deliverables, reviewing final pay requests and punch lists, recommending final completion, tracking warranties, and preparing final invoicing.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Experience with safety procedures in SIMOPs project conditions.

• Experience with safety procedures in a mining environment (MSHA).
• Experience managing Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and Inspection Services.
