THE OPPORTUNITY:

Lead with insight. Build with purpose. At WSP, we don’t just design infrastructure — we shape the future of mining. We’re seeking a Senior Mechanical Designer with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for mentorship to help drive our innovative work in underground backfill systems, tailings disposal, ore handling, dewatering, and beyond.
This is a role for professionals who are ready to lead projects, guide junior designers, and be the technical cornerstone on complex mechanical systems — locally and globally.

As a Senior Designer, you’ll bring your technical expertise and leadership mindset to high-impact mining infrastructure projects. You’ll:

• Develop and review 3D models and detailed mechanical layouts using AutoCAD, Plant3D, and other design platforms
• Establish and refine drafting standards and QA/QC procedures for consistently excellent deliverables
• Check and validate drawings created by junior team members — and ensure every pixel and pipe meets the mark
• Own time management across design phases, ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and effectively
• Mentor junior staff, providing guidance, support, and technical development
• Contribute to feasibility and detailed mechanical design — from shaft infrastructure to ventilation and processing systems
• Visit mine sites to validate designs and stay connected to real-world applications
• Collaborate with clients, cross-functional teams, and other WSP disciplines to deliver integrated solutions
• Assist with cost estimating for proposals, bringing your practical insights to the front end of project development
• Uphold WSP’s core values, especially our Safety First culture
