Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Mining Project Managers who deliver mine development capital programs — feasibility through execution across FEL gates, EPCM and owner’s-team interfaces, bulk earthworks and underground development, concentrator and process plant construction, and TSF scopes on MSHA-regulated sites. Delivery history verified by reference.
A structured process for the mine development hire — where a missed gate surfaces as a board reforecast, a stranded EPCM team, or a concentrator that slips first ore.
30-minute call. Align on commodity and mining method, project stage — scoping, feasibility, execution — delivery model, site logistics, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Mining Project Managers with commissioned mine-site scopes behind them, not adjacent industrial backgrounds. References from owners, EPCM leads, and operations included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn’t stick, we replace them — that’s true across every engagement model we offer.
A PM who has taken a concentrator from bulk earthworks to first ore reads a schedule differently than one who has built factories on flat ground. We shortlist PMs who have carried mine development scopes — underground development, process plant construction, TSF embankments and raises — and verify it by reference.
Owner’s team, EPCM, EPC, and self-perform structures run on different rhythms. As part of our mining and critical minerals recruiting practice, we match candidates to your contract structure and your stage — FEL study deliverables through execution and ramp-up.
Mine projects are won or lost at the gates. We ask references how stage-gate estimates actually held — FEL2 and FEL3 deliverables, execution readiness, schedule and capex performance against the feasibility study — so the PM on your shortlist has carried projects through sanction, not just studies.
Named projects and scopes carried end to end — earthworks, underground development, concentrator and process plant construction — with capacities and contract values.
Direct history managing EPCM engineers, mining contractors, and vendor packages — and holding schedule and budget accountability across those interfaces.
Stage-gate deliverables owned — scoping through feasibility — with capex estimates, execution plans, and board sanction packages behind them.
Working fluency in tailings storage facility construction, dam-safety review cadence, and site water management — and where the engineer of record sits in each.
MSHA training current for the site type — Part 46 or Part 48 — plus contractor-management and workplace-examination practice on regulated sites.
Camp and rotation planning, long-lead freight to remote sites, seasonal construction windows, and workforce ramp plans that survive them.
Board calendars don’t wait on hiring. Tell us the gate — we’ll shortlist PMs who have carried projects through it before.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Narrow asks — say, underground development history on a specific commodity in a specific district — can add a week of targeted sourcing.
Direct-hire search is a 20% success fee with no upfront fee on single roles — you pay when the hire starts. For multi-hire programs, embedded recruiting and RPO price as a monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee — typically well below stacked contingency fees at volume. Leadership and executive searches route through executive search.
Most US markets run $140,000–$180,000 base. PMs carrying major capital programs — concentrator builds and underground developments above $250M — typically run $175,000–$220,000, with site premiums and rotation uplifts on top at remote projects.
A Construction Project Manager owns schedule, budget, and coordination on vertical or commercial work. A Mining Project Manager adds the mine-site layer: FEL gate discipline, EPCM interfaces, ground conditions and TSF scopes, MSHA-regulated site rules, and remote logistics. On mine development, that layer is the job.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model. If a placement doesn’t work out inside the guarantee window, we rerun the search and replace them at no additional placement fee.
Yes. PMs plus construction managers, mine superintendents, process plant leadership, and project controls route through embedded recruiting or RPO — one accountable recruiting team across the program.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll map your commodity, project stage, delivery model, and gate calendar — then start sourcing Mining Project Managers with verified history in them.
