The role is responsible for managing assigned study workstreams, coordinating multi\-discipline technical inputs, maintaining study progress tracking systems, and ensuring consultant deliverables meet COMPANY's quality, governance, and schedule requirements. Operating under the technical direction of the Technical Studies Lead, the Senior Project Engineer serves as a key day\-to\-day interface with study consultants and specialist technical firms, resolves technical integration issues across disciplines, and prepares study documentation for gate reviews. The role contributes to the preparation of investment\-quality study outputs from Scoping through to Gate 3 FID. **Study Workstream Execution \& Coordination** * Manage and coordinate assigned study workstreams across all FEL phases — Scoping (G0–G1\), Pre\-Feasibility Study (G2\), Definitive Feasibility Study (G3\), and FEED — ensuring each workstream is delivered to agreed scope, schedule, and budget under the direction of the Technical Studies Lead. * Prepare and maintain study workstream schedules, deliverable registers, action logs, and milestone trackers for each assigned study phase, providing regular status updates to the Technical Studies Lead. * Identify deviations from approved study plans early and escalate to the Technical Studies Lead with proposed corrective actions. * Maintain the study document register for assigned workstreams, ensuring version control, document traceability, and alignment with COMPANY's governance framework from concept through to Gate 3\. * Coordinate the collection, consolidation, and review of technical inputs from consultants and internal COMPANY functions at each study milestone. Apply lessons learned from previous studies and projects to the design of study scopes and management plans. * **Consultant Interface \& Deliverable Management** * Serve as the day\-to\-day owner\-side interface with assigned study consultants and specialist technical firms on behalf of the Technical Studies Lead, ensuring deliverable quality, schedule adherence, and alignment with COMPANY's terms of reference. * Review and comment on consultant draft deliverables — including technical reports, study inputs, engineering calculations, cost estimates, and discipline outputs — providing structured, evidence\-based feedback in accordance with COMPANY's quality standards. * Maintain consultant deliverable registers and KPI tracking systems, monitoring consultant progress, flagging performance issues, and reporting to the Technical Studies Lead. * Coordinate RFI processes, technical queries, and clarification requests between COMPANY and study consultants, ensuring timely resolution and documentation. * Support the Technical Studies Lead in the procurement and onboarding of study consultants, including scope of work development, terms of reference preparation, and technical bid evaluation support. Ensure all consultant deliverables are archived systematically in COMPANY's document management system with appropriate version control and traceability. * **Multi\-Discipline Technical Integration** * Coordinate multi\-discipline technical inputs across geology, mining, metallurgy, process engineering, infrastructure, utilities, and environmental disciplines for assigned study workstreams, identifying and resolving integration gaps and inconsistencies. * evaluation documentation as directed by the Technical Studies Lead. * Participate in value engineering workshops and contribute technical inputs, identifying opportunities to reduce CAPEX, improve schedule, enhance operability, or reduce technical risk. * Maintain value engineering registers, documenting findings, decision rationale, and the carry\-through of VE outcomes into subsequent study phases. Support the preparation of trade\-off study summaries and value engineering reports for presentation by the Technical Studies Lead to the Director Studies \& Delivery. * **Study Controls \& Reporting** * Prepare regular study progress reports for the Technical Studies Lead covering workstream status, deliverable tracking, schedule performance, consultant performance, and key risks. * Maintain the study budget tracking register for assigned workstreams, monitoring consultant fee expenditure against approved budgets and flagging variances to the Technical Studies Lead. * Coordinate study risk registers, identifying, documenting, and monitoring study\-phase technical and delivery risks, and escalating material risks with proposed mitigations. * Support the Technical Studies Lead in preparing study progress updates and gate review presentations for internal stakeholders including the Director – Studies \& Delivery and Project Controls team. Prepare and maintain study cost estimate summaries, AACEI classification records, and cost basis documentation for each study phase. * ### **Requirements** * Bachelor's degree in Mining, Process, Metallurgical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. * PMP or equivalent project management qualification is an advantage. * **Minimum 8 years of progressive experience in mining or industrial project development, with demonstrated involvement in FEL study phases (Scoping, PFS, DFS or FEED) in an owner's team or EPCM environment.** * Proven experience coordinating multi\-discipline technical inputs across geology, mining, metallurgy, process engineering, and infrastructure disciplines in a study or engineering environment. * Experience reviewing and commenting on consultant technical deliverables, engineering reports, and study outputs, with demonstrated ability to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and technical deficiencies. * Familiarity with AACEI cost estimation classifications (Class 1 through Class 5\) and their application to study\-phase cost estimates. * Working knowledge of JORC Code and NI 43\-101 reporting standards and their application in feasibility study documentation. * Experience preparing and maintaining study schedules, deliverable registers, budget trackers, and risk registers in a structured project management environment. * Familiarity with Stage\-Gate governance frameworks and FEL lifecycle management principles in a mining or heavy industrial project context. * Demonstrated ability to prepare clear, well\-structured technical reports, meeting minutes, action registers, and study progress summaries for senior management audiences. * Experience in the management of metallurgical testwork programmes and validation of process design criteria against testwork outcomes is preferred. * Exposure to value engineering facilitation and technical\-economic trade\-off analysis across study phases is preferred. * Prior experience working on copper, gold, chromite or industrial mineral projects is an advantage.
