This role bridges feasibility study requirements and active operational execution, ensuring that open-pit mine sequences, haulage networks, and waste rock storage facilities are optimized for safety, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and maximum economic value. As a key technical operational engineer, this position partners closely with Geotechnical, Hydrogeology, Process, Site Maintenance, and Mine Operations teams to align daily material movement with long-term strategic plans across Nevada Projects. Key Responsibilities Mine Planning & Production Scheduling Develop, maintain, and optimize life-of-mine (LOM), medium-term, and short-range open-pit mine plans, ensuring alignment between strategic business plans and tactical pit operations. Pit, Ramp & Phase Design Deliver detailed phase designs, haul road layouts, ramp alignments, and waste dump / stockpile designs adhering to geotechnical slope stability parameters and equipment operating constraints. Drill & Blast Engineering Design and optimize drill-and-blast patterns, powder factors, tie-in sequences, and wall-control blasting protocols to minimize vibration, prevent wall damage, and optimize fragmentation for downstream processing. Production Reconciliation & Fleet Analytics Direct monthly mine production reconciliation (tonnes, grade, material types) comparing actual fleet production against short-term forecasts and reserve models to identify and correct variances. Conduct equipment productivity analyses, cycle time studies, and haulage simulations to optimize fleet allocation, fuel efficiency, and haul road maintenance schedules. Geotechnical & Hydrotechnical Integration Partner closely with Geotechnical and Hydrogeology teams to incorporate slope stability monitoring, radar data, depressurization layouts, and in-pit dewatering networks into active mine designs. Operational Readiness & Contractor Support Support mining contractor management, technical scope-of-work development, bid evaluations, and operational readiness activities leading into commercial production as required. Requirements Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline required. Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (or progress toward licensure) and/or Member of SME / AusIMM preferred. Minimum 2+ years of progressive mine engineering experience within open-pit hard-rock mining or large-scale civil earthworks operations. Proven track record in open-pit design, production scheduling, drill-and-blast optimization, and fleet productivity analysis. Demonstrated experience with mining study progression (PFS/FS) through to operational startup and commercial production execution preferred. In-depth knowledge of open-pit mining methods, cut-off grade strategies, ore control workflows, mineral reserve calculations, and waste rock storage management. Practical understanding of heap leach stacking workflows, crusher feed constraints, and mill/plant blending requirements. Strong familiarity with mine safety regulations (MSHA), environmental permit constraints, and state mining compliance frameworks; familiarity with environmental reclamation standards and practices preferred. Practical knowledge of heavy equipment capabilities and safe operating procedures in surface mining applications. Advanced proficiency with industry-standard mine planning software (e.g., Hexagon MinePlan/MineSight, Deswik, Vulcan, or Whittle) and haulage simulation tools. Preferred experience with Autodesk/AutoCAD and ESRI ArcGIS (ArcView/ArcMap) for surveying, GIS, land, and permitting support. Strong analytical acumen in production reconciliation, cost-benefit trade-off studies, and material movement tracking. Excellent verbal and technical communication skills to present complex mine plans clearly to site crews, technical leads, and project leadership. Valid driver's license required with the ability to operate company vehicles safely. Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
