This is a senior, hands on role for a civil engineer with deep mining experience who still wants to be doing the engineering, not just managing it.
My client is a privately owned consultancy where engineering comes first and the business is built around it, not the other way round. They’re coming off a record year for growth, the structure is very flat, and they hire for the long term rather than project to project.
You’d work across mining, power, renewables and other markets, so you’ll collaborate with teams throughout the business rather than sitting in one silo.
They’re a technical bunch and set the bar high. You’ll stay billable while also helping to win work and develop the junior engineers.

Leading civil design on mining and power projects, from concept and detailed design through to construction support
Acting as Technical Lead or Engineer of Record on selected projects
Overseeing site infrastructure design, including earthworks, drainage, water management, haul roads and mine facilities

with a focus on quality, code compliance and constructability
Managing scope, budget and schedule, and coordinating with clients, contractors and multidisciplinary teams
Supporting business development through proposals, scoping, cost estimates and client presentations
Mentoring junior engineers and helping the team develop
Qualifications
Civil engineering degree and P. Eng. with EGBC, or eligible for registration in BC
20 years or more in civil engineering, with substantial mining project experience
Proven design experience across earthworks, water management, drainage and roads
Experience as Technical Lead, Project Engineer or EOR on complex projects
Robust knowledge of Canadian codes, standards and regulatory frameworks
A track record in project management, business development and client engagement
Auto CAD and Civil 3 D
Strong site experience and happy to split time between office and field
Dam safety, tailings, hydraulic structures or hydro experience is a real bonus
