Infrastructure Engineering Manager

The Infrastructure Engineering Manager will support Project Managers to conceptualize, scope, estimate costs and implement surface infrastructure on mining projects and studies. Surface infrastructure includes overall site arrangement and plot plans, roadworks, airstrips, surface water management, conventional and dry-stack tailings facilities, processing plants, power supply and distribution systems, accommodation complexes, domestic water and sewer systems, administration buildings, warehouses and maintenance facilities, and communication systems.

The Infrastructure Engineering Manager will be assigned to a multitude of projects, including technical studies ranging from desktop studies to NI 43-101 compliant technical reports, and engineering, procurement, and construction management projects where JDS is responsible for all aspects of project development, engineering, cost estimation, construction, and commissioning.
