• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
• Valid driver’s license required; willingness to travel to project sites if necessary.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with or strong interest in mine planning software platforms (e.g., Vulcan, Deswik, Hexagon) is a plus.
• Strong technical writing, reporting, and presentation skills.
• Ability to analyze datasets, draw logical conclusions, and present findings clearly.
• A collaborative mindset with an eagerness to learn and proactively ask questions.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of a dedicated 12-week project, managing timelines, and delivering a final technical report and presentation.
• Learn to review and develop mine engineering deliverables, including short-range or long-range mine plans, scheduling, and drill & blast designs.
• Assist the team in technical trade-off studies, haulage optimizations, or equipment sizing evaluations to support operational efficiency.
• Support the design, execution, and data analysis of mine production tracking and continuous improvement programs alongside the engineering team.
