This is an initially Vancouver office-based role supporting project engineering, coordination, and technical deliverable management throughout the development of a major mining project. During the early project phases, the successful candidate will work closely with engineering, procurement, and project teams from the Vancouver office, with occasional travel to site as required.
As the project advances into execution and construction phases, the role is expected to become increasingly site-focused, with the potential for a longer-term site assignment in a couple of years' time.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer who enjoys working in a collaborative project environment and is interested in gaining exposure to engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and project execution activities.
The successful candidate will assist in coordinating project activities through all phases of the project lifecycle, from scope development and planning through execution and closeout.
