About Highland Valley Copper

Highland Valley Copper (HVC) Operations is Canada’s largest open-pit copper mine and molybdenum operation. HVC produces both copper and molybdenum concentrate through autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding and flotation.

Role Overview

Teck is a leading Canadian resource company focused on responsibly providing the metals essential for global development and the energy transition while caring for the people, communities and land that we love.

Embrace Courageous Safety Leadership (CSL): At Teck, safety is a core value, central to our work culture. Through programs like CSL, we empower every employee to be a safety leader, fostering a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks. As part of our team, you will contribute to sustaining this safety-first environment, where speaking up and driving positive change are not just encouraged but expected.

Reporting to the Chief Engineer, Dam Safety, the Senior Engineer, Dam Safety (Tailings) supports the safe and responsible stewardship of tailings and water storage facilities at the Highland Valley Copper operations (HVC), the largest Canadian open pit copper mine. There are more than thirty dams at HVC, including one of the largest cyclone sand dams in North America, making this position exciting and of critical importance for Teck!

The Highland Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) is undergoing a major expansion for the Mine Life Extension project, and this key role will support the Dam Safety team to ensure that capacity is maintained to support operations. The Senior Engineer, Dam Safety will liaise closely with the Engineer of Record team, Dam Construction and Operations personnel and other key internal and external stakeholders, community members and consultants to drive high performance and maintain the HVC Dam Safety team as a recognized center of excellence.

To be successful, we are looking for a motivated self-starter with strong interpersonal and communication skills who thrives in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

This role provides the opportunity to contribute to a range of geotechnical engineering, dam safety, tailings management, and project initiatives within a world-class operation.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain strong working relationships with management, technical, and operational teams. Collaborate with the Teck Center to ensure effective communication, site visibility, and implementation of applicable standards and guidance.
Support site compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, including the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia and the Water Sustainability Act Dam Safety Regulation.
Support site conformance with external tailings management standards, including the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Level AAA requirements and the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).
Lead and coordinate internal resources and external engineering consultants, providing technical oversight and ensuring work is completed safely, effectively, and in alignment with site requirements.
Participate in the development of annual and multi-year plans, budgets, schedules, and forecasts aligned with mid- and long-term tailings management objectives, ensuring accurate cost projections and alignment with operational and strategic priorities.
Develop, update, and maintain key tailings management documentation, including Operation, Maintenance and Surveillance (OMS) manuals, Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans, and risk management documentation.
Lead and support project execution across geotechnical engineering, dam safety, dam surveillance and instrumentation, and tailings governance scopes.
Ensure short- and long-term dam safety and tailings management projects meet operational needs and are delivered according to approved plans, specifications, schedules, budgets, applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
Support the implementation and continuous improvement of tailings governance systems and processes.
Plan, coordinate, and execute public engagement and disclosure related to tailings in collaboration with the Community & Indigenous Relations department.
Prepare and communicate technical information, project updates, risks, and recommendations to senior stakeholders, including the Accountable Executive and Tailings Review Board.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil, Geological/Geotechnical, Mining Engineering, or an equivalent discipline.
Registered, or eligible for registration, as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC).

Strong ability to read, interpret, and apply technical engineering principles, documents, specifications, and drawings.
Working knowledge of project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and cost management principles.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience with relevant engineering and asset management software such as Maximo, AutoCAD, Muk3D, and geotechnical applications.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate technical information effectively to a range of stakeholders.

Working Conditions

Location: Highland Valley Copper is a 50-minute drive from Kamloops, which has all of the comforts of city living and is also close to Merritt, Ashcroft, and Logan Lake, which all exude a small town community atmosphere.
