• Support the early identification, specification, and procurement of long-lead equipment and materials.
• Monitor contractor performance and ensure engineering deliverables are completed to the required quality and schedule.
• Support development of the project execution strategy for detailed engineering and implementation.
• Ensure decisions, actions, changes, and technical requirements are appropriately documented and communicated.
• Provide regular reporting on engineering progress, risks, issues, and upcoming milestones.

Compensation Range: $130,000–$165,000 CAD annually, depending on experience and qualifications.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation.
• 8+ years of project engineering experience within industrial, mining, mineral processing, energy, or other heavy industrial environments.
• Demonstrated experience managing Pre-FEED and/or FEED engineering scopes.
• Experience working with and managing external engineering consultants or EPC/EPCM contractors.
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering, design development, equipment procurement, and project execution.
• Experience identifying and managing long-lead equipment requirements is an asset.
• Strong project management, coordination, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to effectively manage competing priorities and drive decisions in a fast-paced project environment.

• Health and Dental Benefits
