About the Role

A well-established raw materials organization is seeking a Senior Structural Designer with hands-on experience in surface mining structures — specifically processing plants, conveyors, crushers, and material handling systems. This role plays a critical part in designing infrastructure that directly impacts production efficiency and safety.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop structural layouts for mining surface facilities and processing plants

• Produce detailed drawings for steel, concrete, foundations, and support structures

• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and operations teams to ensure constructability

• Support field teams during installation, modifications, and upgrades

• Ensure compliance with MSHA, OSHA, and industry standards

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of structural design experience in mining, aggregates, or heavy industrial environments

• Strong background in surface structures (plants, conveyors, bins, crushers)

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Tekla, or similar design software

• Practical, field-aware mindset — designs that work in real conditions

Why This Role Is Exciting

• Designs directly affect real-world production, not just paper projects

• Stable, long-term operation with ongoing capital projects

• Minimal red tape — practical engineering culture

• Strong internal respect for engineering and design teams
