10h•Hybrid

About The Position

We are a U.S.-based, well-diversified, growing precious metals producer with seven wholly-owned operations across British Columbia, Ontario, Sonora, Chihuahua, Nevada, Alaska, and South Dakota. Coeur is the only mining company with headquarters in Chicago, offering a flexible, hybrid work model and a culture that prioritizes health and safety, teamwork, career development, and growth. The office is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Chicago, near public transportation. The Process Safety Management (PSM) Engineer is a high-impact, strategic role reporting directly to the Corporate PSM Director. The primary mission is to support the design, deployment, and long-term sustainability of the Corporate PSM Framework across seven diverse mine sites. We are seeking a top-tier learner, a resilient, flexible professional capable of navigating complex change management environments. The successful candidate will act as a bridge between Corporate standards and Site operations, enthusiastically engaging local leaders and multidisciplinary teams to transform "Risk on Paper" into "Risk in the Field". This role requires a unique "Soft-Technical" blend, meaning the PSM Engineer must be technically competent enough to earn the respect of Site Engineers, yet empathetic enough to manage the friction that naturally occurs during a multi-site system rollout. This role is only on a consulting/professional services agreement (PSA) basis for a period of approximately 6 months.

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in high-hazard environments, specifically processing plants, chemical facilities, or heavy industrial operations.
Proven exposure to the engineering lifecycle, including the design, construction, and commissioning (PSSR) of capital projects and "Operational Readiness" phases.
Broad understanding of industrial equipment (Mechanical, E&I, and Structural) and the ability to interpret Process Safety Information (PSI), such as P&IDs and PFDs.
Demonstrated experience facilitating risk assessment workshops (HAZOP, What-If, FMEA) involving cross-functional teams and frontline workers.
Experience in incident investigation and Root Cause Analysis (RCA), with the ability to categorize severity and translate findings into actionable system improvements.
Full professional proficiency in English.
Ability to travel to mine sites 50%–60% of the time.

Develop and deliver high-energy training modules to Site Champions and Custodians to ensure the mechanical "Rules of the System" are understood and respected.
Lead the on-site "Mechanical Expansion" (Year 2), coaching site teams through the first wave of Baseline PHAs, P&ID updates, and the population of the Critical Spares and MOC registries.
Conduct data analytics on site-level performance, monitoring leading and lagging indicators via Corporate Dashboards to ensure consistency across the company.
Actively listen to site-specific challenges to adapt Corporate guidelines into practical, field-executable procedures without compromising safety integrity.
Oversee the Centralized Action Tracking system, ensuring that high-risk recommendations from HIRA and Incident Investigations are funded, tracked, and closed on time.
