Job Description

As a Field Engineer – Construction, you will play a key role in the technical delivery and execution of major industrial projects. Deployed to a mining environment in Northern Ontario on a Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO) schedule, you will be directly responsible for on-site execution.

Serving as a pivotal bridge between engineering and the construction team, you will act as the technical subject matter expert on-site across multiple projects. You will work in close collaboration with the construction team, plant operations, and contractors, providing continuous support to field supervisors. Your mission is to ensure smooth site operations, overcome project financial challenges (budget control), and strictly maintain project schedules, all while strictly adhering to administrative procedures and safety standards.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Technical Focal Point & Execution: Take ownership of field execution and serve as the main technical point of contact across assigned projects.
  • Budget & Schedule Management: Drive tight cost control and schedule adherence, proactively identifying potential overruns and proposing optimized solutions to meet financial targets and deadlines.
  • Engineering–Field Interface: Bridge the gap between engineering design teams and field crews to clarify specifications, resolve technical issues rapidly, and adapt plans to real-world site conditions.
  • Supervision Support: Work hand-in-hand with the construction team and provide direct technical backing to site supervisors during daily planning and execution.
  • Multi-Stakeholder Coordination: Liaise continuously between site operations and contractors to ensure smooth workflow handoffs while maintaining full compliance with administrative and project controls procedures.
  • Quality & Safety Compliance: Enforce top-tier quality control, Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) requirements, and industry best practices on-site.

Required Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree (B.Sc. / B.Eng.) in Mining Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Language Requirements: Fluency in English (both written and spoken) is strictly required to interact effectively with site management, operations, and contractors in Northern Ontario.
  • Cost & Schedule Control: Strong foundation in project controls, demonstrated budget tracking skills (cost control), and rigorous schedule management experience (project scheduling).
  • Field Leadership & Technical Expertise: Proven track record acting as a technical reference, supporting site supervisors, and maintaining strong execution momentum.
  • Industry Experience: Solid background in mining or heavy industrial sectors (construction capital projects, sustaining capital, or plant shutdowns/turnarounds).
  • Contractor & Administrative Management: Ability to balance strict administrative/contractual compliance with field agility and contractor relations.
  • Working Conditions & Engagement Status:
  • Willingness and ability to work on a Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO) rotation in a remote Northern Ontario location.
  • Flexible Hiring Options: Open to both direct employment (permanent role) and independent contractor / consultant arrangements.
