• Provide engineering support for waste rock facilities, heap leach pads, tailings storage facilities, and stormwater management systems.
• Design and review foundations and structural supports for crushers, mills, ADR plants, conveyors, and other heavy process equipment.
• Integrate safety‑in‑design principles into all civil and structural solutions.

Project Support & Execution

• Provide engineering support during construction, commissioning, and start‑up activities.
• Support feasibility‑level studies (PEA, PFS, FS) with civil and structural input.
• Support infrastructure expansions and modifications, including investigation and resolution of civil or structural deficiencies.
• Ensure civil and structural designs are practical, constructible, and aligned with project execution strategy.
