Are you a hands-on project leader who values safety, teamwork, and meaningful impact?

DNDC is seeking an experienced and motivated Project Manager to join our team during an exciting period of growth and project delivery. This position has been created to support a cross-shift with the current Project Manager, providing the opportunity for knowledge transfer, relationship building, and a seamless transition of responsibilities across DNDC's diverse and dynamic project portfolio.

This is more than a project management role. It is an opportunity to lead projects that support community priorities, create local opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to the long-term success of DNDC and the Ross River community.

This role is based on-site at the Faro Mine during shift rotations and includes attending meetings in Whitehorse and Ross River, YT when required.

Who You Are:

• 5+ years experience managing environmental, construction, infrastructure, mining, or related projects from planning to close-out.

• Experience working with Indigenous communities and organizations, with a respectful approach to engagement, community priorities, and partnerships.
• Proactive and solutions-focused, with sound judgment to resolve issues independently and escalate when needed.
• Willing and able to work rotational schedules, travel to remote project sites, including construction and mine sites, and work in northern environments as required.
• Hold a valid driver’s license and have a clean driver’s abstract.
