Reporting directly to the Head of Infrastructure, you will hold a dual-impact role: lead technical civil design for major mining projects while serving as the contractual manager for civil works on-site.

Multidisciplinary Coordination: Liaise with Project Managers and other engineering disciplines to ensure civil infrastructure integrates perfectly with mechanical and process plant requirements.
Site Leadership: Advise and monitor site staff and contractors; oversee the initial site establishment, conduct regular inspections, and solve technical hurdles in real-time during construction.
Technical Documentation: Prepare engineering proposals, cost estimates, and scopes of work. Review, mark up, and sign off on construction drawings with a keen eye for constructability.
Agency Liaison: Navigate interactions with municipalities, regulatory agencies, and owners to ensure all work complies with statutory and safety requirements.
Professional Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
Licensure: Registered Professional Engineer (PE).
Experience: 5+ years in a similar role within a multi-disciplinary EPCM environment.
Sector Expertise: Proven experience on Mining projects (Plant operations or infrastructure).
Technical Skills: Proficiency in 3D design of infrastructure (AutoCAD Civil 3D or similar) and the ability to accurately mark up designs for drafting teams.
Project Acumen: Experience managing time schedules, costs, and quality for civil/structural contracts.
Communication: Strong ability to advise site supervisors and manage relationships with external consultants and contractors.
