- Significant operational experience in active mining environments (open pit and/or underground).
- Demonstrated experience with mine-to-mill reconciliation and integration of production data.
- Strong geostatistics background, including variography, estimation, and model validation.
- Recognized Qualified Person (QP) status under applicable reporting codes.
- Proven experience working across multiple sites and influencing without direct authority.
- Advanced proficiency with industry-standard geological and modeling software.
Preferred- Experience in precious metals operations.
- Prior accountability for public mineral resource disclosure.
- Experience leading corporate-level technical initiatives or standards.
Key Attributes for Success- Strong technical judgment combined with practical operational mindset.
- Ability to bridge short-term operational needs with long-term mineral resource integrity.
- Clear communicator capable of engaging site teams, executives, and external reviewers.
