This unique opportunity allows you to lead the transformation of mine closure and reclamation practices across Canada’s most complex resource projects. You will bring together multidisciplinary expertise to deliver innovative, end-to-end reclamation and closure solutions, spanning from early-stage planning through to implementation and long-term monitoring. This role is pivotal in influencing sustainable land outcomes and actively shaping the future of responsible resource development. As a technical leader and trusted advisor, you will guide the development and review of reclamation and closure strategies for oil sands and large-scale mining projects, ensuring the integration of diverse inputs to deliver cohesive, risk-informed closure plans across the full project lifecycle.
