- Contributing to underground development and production planning, including backfill and stope design
- Supporting ventilation planning and performance monitoring
- Engaging with multiple stakeholders across operations, safety, HR, and supply chain
- Promoting and maintaining high safety and quality standards in all engineering practices
- Participating in ongoing initiatives focused on continuous improvement and operational efficiency
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering (or equivalent)
- 2+ years of mining experience, ideally in underground operations
- Experience with mine planning and scheduling software — Deswik highly preferred
- Familiarity with MSHA and environmental, health, and safety standards
