About You

Education:

Professional engineering designation (P.Eng) required.

Experience:

8-10 years of relevant experience preferred.
Experience managing FEL studies, as well as supporting or leading pre-feasibility, feasibility, and large-scale project execution within mining, extractive, or infrastructure industries.

Experience working on brownfield projects, operations, or maintenance activities, with knowledge of project delivery systems and associated deliverables.
Broad industry experience and networks across mining and geotechnical disciplines, with exposure to multiple commodities considered an asset.

Skills:

Strong commitment to safety, technical excellence, and delivering results.
Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts and work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
Proven ability to analyze alternatives, assess risks and opportunities, and recommend practical solutions.

Why Sudbury

Greater Sudbury is a vibrant city in northeastern Ontario, renowned for its rich mining history and significant role in Canada's mineral production. The city sits atop one of the world's largest and oldest meteorite impact sites, the Sudbury Basin, which is exceptionally rich in nickel, copper, and other critical minerals that are required for modern technologies such as AI and defence. The mining sector is a cornerstone of Sudbury's economy, driving both employment and economic growth, and Vale Base Metals plays a pivotal role in this regard. Our commitment to the community is as deep as our mines.
