This position focuses on the design, management, and delivery of integrated tailings, mine waste, and mine water solutions. You will lead and contribute to multidisciplinary teams, support project execution and strategy, and provide senior technical oversight across a diverse portfolio of work.

You bring well-rounded expertise across tailings design, operations support, and closure planning, with a strong understanding of project delivery from pre-feasibility through to execution. You are a confident communicator with proven leadership capability, able to mentor and develop engineers, designers, and technicians while building strong client relationships. You demonstrate sound judgement, strong safety leadership, and the ability to manage competing priorities in complex environments. Experience in integrated tailings facilities, mine water management, or mine closure is essential, along with a willingness to travel as required to support project delivery. You are aligned with Hatch’s values, with a visible commitment to inclusion, diversity, and delivering high-quality outcomes.
