Senior Engineer, Mechanical

Description

About the Role

Reporting to the Manager, Engineering, the Senior Engineer, Mechanical provides technical oversight and coordination of mechanical engineering activities across Torex's capital projects and studies, from early-stage studies through detailed engineering. The role provides technical assurance over mechanical deliverables, works closely with Engineering Contractors to resolve issues and guide design development, and supports project and site teams as required.

For the next couple of years, the role's main focus will be supporting the Los Reyes project (greenfield project, new company asset), while also supporting sustaining capital projects and operational improvements at the Morelos Complex.

This is a Canada-based position, preferably located in the Greater Toronto Area to support regular in-person collaboration with Engineering Contractors. Travel to Mexico is expected depending on project needs.
