- Report progress, risks and recommendations to site and senior leadership
- Work closely with operations, maintenance and reliability to identify and prioritize the right projects
- Set the standard for safety on every project
- Mentor junior engineers (more senior levels)
- Bring lessons learned and better ways of working into every project
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering
- Hiring at three levels: Engineer II (2+ years), Engineer III (4+ years) or Senior (8+ years)
- Project delivery experience in mining, heavy industry, manufacturing or process plants
- Leadership skills to coordinate contractors, multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders
- Clear communication with everyone from frontline crews to senior leadership
- Strong planning, organization and decision-making in a fast-paced operating environment
Nice to Have
- Sustaining capital or improvement projects in an operating or brownfield facility
- Working knowledge across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and process disciplines
- Stage-gate delivery, risk management, and cost and schedule controls
- PMP designation
What’s Offered
- Permanent, full-time role with a global industry leader
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision benefits
- Paid vacation, holidays and sick time
- Tuition reimbursement, savings and financial security programs
- Long-term career growth across a large North American operation
