Your opportunity

As an Engineer of Record (EoR) at Boliden, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding our tailings storage facilities (TSF) throughout their entire lifecycle—from design and construction to operation, closure, and post-closure.

Who you will work with

You will be responsible for ensuring that the Aitik TSF remains in compliance with regulatory and internal standards including the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and other applicable regulations.

You will ensure that all engineering decisions are documented and traceable. This includes facilitating the risk management programme implementation, reviewing and approving engineering designs, construction and as-built reports, and ensuring that monitoring and surveillance programs are in place and effective.

You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders such as site operations, environmental teams, and senior leadership, as well as external consultants including Designer of Record, third party reviewers, Independent Tailings Review Board (ITRB) and regulatory bodies. You will participate in site-wide efforts for example permitting and Life of Mine planning.

Additionally, as a member of the sustainability staff, you will lead the development and implementation of governance frameworks, provide technical guidance and ensure that all documentation and reporting meet the highest standards of quality and transparency.

This role is critical to ensuring the safe and sustainable management of tailings facilities and contributes directly to Boliden’s commitment to responsible mining.
