Who We Are

We are a global mining company dedicated to safely delivering nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum group metals essential for the world’s energy transition.

Our mission is to improve lives and shape a better future together.

From utensils to cellphones to satellites, our operations simplify daily life and enhance connectivity. Our metals are integral to life-saving medical equipment and the electric vehicles driving the fight against climate change – our work truly matters.

Join our diverse team of 15,000 talented individuals committed to transforming critical minerals into prosperity and sustainable development in countries like Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Japan. We invite you to use your skills with us and contribute to something meaningful and enduring.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Sr Specialist – Project Estimating & Cost Control to join our VBM / CTO / Studies / Project Controls team in Toronto, Ontario.

This is a permanent position reporting to the Sr. Manager, Project Controls - Canada and supporting Vale Base Metals' Canadian studies portfolio. The role serves as the technical leader for the estimating and cost control discipline in Canada and is accountable for the methodologies, standards, governance, quality, and consistency of capital and operating cost estimates, cost baselines, forecasts, and performance reporting across studies ranging from Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEA) through Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) and Feasibility Studies (FS). The successful candidate will ensure the integration of estimating, cost control, planning, risk management, and performance management disciplines, enabling informed investment decisions and supporting the successful delivery of Vale's capital portfolio.

About You

You are a highly experienced cost engineering and project controls professional with a strong background in capital project estimating, cost control, forecasting, and governance. You possess deep technical expertise in developing and validating project estimates while ensuring alignment with industry-leading standards and best practices.

You thrive in complex project environments where cost, schedule, risk, and performance must work together as an integrated system. Your ability to challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, and provide objective analysis enables project teams and leadership to make confident investment and execution decisions.

Lead the preparation, review, validation, and reconciliation of capital and operating cost estimates throughout all study phases, including PEA, PFS, and FS.
Ensure estimates achieve the required AACE estimate classification and meet project and governance requirements at each stage gate.
Define estimate execution plans, including methodology, work breakdown structure, cost breakdown structure, basis of estimate development, estimate deliverables, and review processes.

Conduct benchmark reviews, independent estimate validations, reconciliations, and variance analyses between study phases.
Lead estimate review workshops and provide recommendations supporting project and investment decisions.

Cost Control and forecasting

Establish and operate comprehensive cost control processes for the Canadian studies portfolio.
Manage project budgets, commitments, actual costs, accruals, forecasts, cost trends, and estimate-at-completion (EAC) processes.
Lead cost forecasting activities and provide analysis regarding cost performance, variance drivers, and emerging risks.
Support implementation and management of project change control processes and ensure approved changes are reflected within project baselines.
Develop monthly cost reports, dashboards, and performance analyses for Study Managers, functional leadership, and governance teams.
Apply earned value management and performance measurement techniques where appropriate.

Integrated of Project Controls disciplines

Ensure close integration between estimating, scheduling, risk management, change management, and performance management functions.
Partner with Planning and Project Risk Management specialists to develop integrated project baselines.
Support quantitative risk analysis and contingency determination activities through collaboration with project risk management teams.
Ensure cost assumptions, schedule assumptions, and project risks are aligned and reflected consistently across project controls deliverables.
Provide cost inputs supporting economic evaluations, business cases, and project investment submissions.

Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain Canadian estimating benchmarks, historical cost databases, productivity metrics, and cost intelligence.
Benchmark project estimates against internal and external sources to improve estimate accuracy and competitiveness.
Identify opportunities to enhance project controls tools, systems, automation, digital solutions, and applied AI capabilities.
Collaborate with global project controls teams to share best practices, lessons learned, and standardized methodologies.

Experience

Minimum 15 years of progressive experience in estimating, project controls, cost control, or capital project delivery.
Extensive experience supporting large-scale capital projects within mining, metals, energy, infrastructure, industrial, or other asset-intensive industries.
Demonstrated experience developing and reviewing AACE Class 5 through Class 3 capital cost estimates.
Significant experience with cost control, forecasting, earned value management, change management, and project performance reporting.
Experience supporting project governance reviews, investment decisions, and stage-gate processes.
Experience working collaboratively with engineering consultants, EPCM contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams.
Experience supporting multiple complex studies and projects simultaneously.
