About the Role
Reporting to the Manager, Engineering, the Senior Engineer, Mechanical provides technical oversight and coordination of mechanical engineering activities across Torex Gold’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.
About Torex Gold
“Our purpose is to transform finite mineral resources into lasting prosperity
by positively impacting all the lives we touch.”
We are a Canadian mining company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of gold, copper, and silver from our flagship Morelos Complex in Guerrero, which is currently Mexico’s largest single gold producer. The Company also owns the advanced-stage Los Reyes gold-silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico, and a portfolio of early-stage exploration properties, including the Batopilas and Guigui projects in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Medicine Springs project in Nevada, USA, as well as an option to acquire the Gryphon project in Nevada, USA.
Torex consistently delivers on our commitments guided by our key strategic objectives: optimize Morelos production and costs; disciplined growth and capital allocation; grow reserves and resources; project delivery excellence; retain and attract best industry talent; and be an industry leader in responsible mining. In addition to realizing the full potential of the Morelos Property, the Company continues to seek opportunities to acquire assets that enable diversification and deliver value to shareholders.
We have proven over the past decade that we can make a positive impact on people’s lives and the environment around us, all while improving safety, achieving operational efficiencies, realizing cost reductions, and generating positive return on investment. This is what makes us strong. This is the Torex way.
