If you’re like us, you don’t have much time for the way things are.

Ausenco is a global company redefining what’s possible. Our team is based across 22 offices in 9 countries, with projects in over 80 locations worldwide. Combining our deep technical expertise with a 30-year track record, we deliver innovative, value-add consulting studies, project delivery, asset operations and maintenance solutions to the mining & metals, oil & gas, and industrial sectors.

Join our team and be part of an exciting execution-phase project in the North American mining industry. You'll play a key role in critical project phases, from Basic Engineering and Detailed Engineering to Construction, gaining hands‑on experience across a variety of commodities. This is your opportunity to make a real impact in a dynamic and quick‑paced environment.

The Study Manager will be responsible for leading and managing multidisciplinary studies for mining and minerals projects from early‑stage concept development through Scoping Studies, Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEA), Pre‑Feasibility Studies (PFS), Definitive/Bankable Feasibility Studies (DFS/BFS), and project execution readiness.

The Study Manager will provide overall leadership, coordination, technical integration, schedule and cost control, risk management, and quality assurance across all study disciplines. The role will coordinate internal technical teams, external engineering consultants, specialist advisors, Qualified Persons (QPs), contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure that studies are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the required technical and commercial standards.

A key responsibility will be ensuring that study deliverables contain the appropriate level of technical information,



supporting documentation, assumptions, data quality, cost estimates, production forecasts, economic evaluations, and risk assessments required to support investment decisions and, where applicable, NI 43‑101 Technical reports.

About The Role

- Lead the planning, execution, and completion of multidisciplinary mining and minerals studies.
- Manage studies through various project development stages, including:
- Conceptual Studies
- Scoping Studies
- Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEA)
- Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS)
- Feasibility Studies (FS)
- Bankable Feasibility Studies (BFS)
- Project execution and development readiness studies.
- Establish study objectives, scope, deliverables, execution strategies, schedules, budgets, and resource requirements.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive Study Execution Plans.
- Establish study governance, reporting structures, review processes, and decision‑making protocols.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary teams across mining, geology, metallurgy, process engineering, infrastructure, environmental, permitting, tailings, water, geotechnical, electrical, mechanical, civil, and other disciplines.
- Ensure interfaces between disciplines are clearly defined and effectively managed.
- Drive timely resolution of technical, commercial, and project issues.




- Ensure study assumptions and design criteria are documented, reviewed, and controlled.
- Coordinate the integration of geological, mining, metallurgical, engineering, infrastructure, environmental, and economic inputs into a coherent project development strategy.
- Ensure that technical assumptions are consistent across all study disciplines.
- Challenge study assumptions and identify gaps, inconsistencies, opportunities, and potential project risks.
- Facilitate technical workshops, design reviews, value engineering sessions, risk workshops, and study review meetings.
- Ensure that the selected development options are technically viable and aligned with project objectives.
- Coordinate trade‑off studies and option evaluations to identify the preferred project development solution.
- Review key technical deliverables and ensure that appropriate quality assurance and quality control processes are applied.
- Work closely with engineering and technical leads to establish appropriate design criteria and levels of study accuracy.
- Coordinate closely with geology, resource modelling, mine planning, and mineral reserve teams.
- Ensure that Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve information used within studies is appropriately documented and traceable.
- Understand the relationship between geological models, resource estimates, mine plans, production schedules, processing assumptions, and economic outcomes.
- Ensure that mining methods, production rates, cut‑off assumptions, recovery factors, dilution, mining losses, and other relevant parameters are appropriately incorporated into the study.
- Coordinate with Qualified Persons responsible for Mineral Resources and M
