Management Consultant - Mining

The Work

• Assess client functions and performance across the mining value chain -from exploration, mine design and planning, extraction, maintenance, processing, and logistics - and identify where performance, cost, capital efficiency, and enterprise value can be improved across both corporate and operating assets

• Structure opportunities in business terms, including cost per tonne, throughput, asset utilisation, capital recovery, and broader enterprise impact across metrics such as EBITDA, AISC, cash flow, and return on invested capital

• Develop and pressure-test strategic recommendations for senior client stakeholders - including business cases, investment rationale, portfolio prioritization, and growth or cost strategy - translating operational insight into boardroom-ready positions

• Design solutions that span process, people, and technology, with sound judgment on when each lever will create the greatest value

• Support technology-enabled transformation work - including platform reinvention, intelligent enterprise programs, and digital initiatives - by grounding solutions in operational reality and ensuring they deliver measurable business outcomes

• Lead and deliver implementation workstreams alongside client teams, moving beyond recommendation into execution and sustained value delivery

• Build credibility with operational and technical counterparts at site level while creating executive-ready communications and engaging confidently with project sponsors and senior corporate stakeholders

• Contribute to CNR practice development through proposals, thought leadership, and internal knowledge building

• Support the development of junior team members through active coaching, collaboration, and apprenticeship

What You Bring

• A working knowledge of the mining value chain and how decisions at each stage affect the bottom line

• The ability to diagnose operational problems with structure, and not just describe symptoms

• Comfort at every interface: site technical teams, project offices, corporate leadership

• Quantitative grounding to build and stress-test a business case

• Pragmatism: you know what can be realistically implemented, not just what looks good on a PowerPoint slide

• Willingness to be on-site with clients, as and when the project requires

What Makes This Role Different

• This is not a performance strategy or process improvement rotation. We are building a practice with deep industry roots and a distinctive point of view on how mining companies generate value across the full chain from resource to revenue. The work is integrative by design — spanning strategy, operations, technology, and commercial outcomes.

• You will work with clients on problems that matter. Mine design decisions ahead of major capital investment. Operational performance programs at scale. Maintenance transformations that change the cost structure of a site. Digital programs that need operational context to deliver business results — not just data.

• If you want to go deep in an industry you already know, and build a body of work that compounds over time, this is that role

What We Are Looking For

• 4 to 8 years of direct industry experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Mine design, planning, and scheduling across open pit or underground environments, including exploration through feasibility stages of ore body development

  • Mine or plant operations and maintenance, including work management and process safety supervision

  • In-house business improvement or continuous improvement programs, including CI teams, BI functions, and internally led transformation initiatives

  • Sustaining or growth projects, capital programs, or portfolio-related work, particularly focused on investment optimisation, value assurance, or performance improvement rather than engineering delivery

  • Digital or data programs embedded within mining operations

• Domain experience in any of the following is valuable:

  • Open pit operations & underground mining, hard or soft rock

  • Mills, concentration plants and other processing facilities

  • Operational data and digital transformation

  • Continuous improvement and Lean programs

  • Business intelligence and performance management

  • Strategy development and execution

• English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with stakeholders acrossCanada, US and other countries across our Global footprint where English is the commonlanguage. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speakingstakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company'sactivities to avoid this requirement.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Consulting experience, in conjunction with industry knowledge and experience

• Exposure to cross-functional or enterprise-level transformation programs is a plus, particularly where operational excellence was linked to broader business performance and enterprise outcomes

• Strong preference for degrees in one of the following areas:

  • Engineering: Mining, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Metallurgical, Chemical, or Civil

  • Metallurgy or Process Engineering

  • Geology or other science-based disciplines

  • Business, Commerce, or Strategy

• Additional qualifications that could strengthen a profile:

  • Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt, Black Belt, or equivalent)

  • Project Management Professional (PMP)

  • Continuous improvement or operational excellence credentials
