You’ll work directly with mine operators, brokers, and insurers, conducting site-based risk assessments and producing high-quality insurance risk engineering reports that inform underwriting and risk transfer decisions for some of the world’s most significant mining assets.
About Hawcroft
Founded in 1992, Hawcroft is an independent global consultancy specialising in mining risk engineering. We operate across all aspects of mining, processing, materials handling, power, refining, ports, and rail, supporting owners, operators, insurers, and reinsurers worldwide.

- Assess operational risks, loss scenarios, and the adequacy of risk control and protection systems.
- Apply strong operational judgement to complex technical and risk scenarios.
- Prepare clear, well-structured insurance risk engineering reports for underwriters.
- Present findings to mine management, brokers, and insurers with authority and clarity.
- Travel within Canada and internationally as required.
What We’re Looking For
- Degree in Mining Engineering (essential).
- 15+ years of operational mining experience.
- Strong background in hard rock mining (underground and/or open pit).
- Coal experience considered where supported by broader operational exposure.
- Broad understanding of mining and processing operations and asset protection.
- Experience working directly with owners, operators, or clients in senior technical or operational roles.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex risks clearly.
- Spanish and/or French language skills preferred (supporting work across Latin America).
- International experience and insurer-facing exposure highly regarded.
Compensation
CAD $160,000 – $200,000 base salary, plus benefits. Final compensation will be dependent on experience, background, and qualifications.
Why Hawcroft
- Work on complex, high-value mining risks in Canada and globally.
- Apply your operational experience in a respected, independent consulting environment.
- Influence underwriting and risk outcomes at a senior level.
- Competitive senior-level compensation.
- Meaningful domestic and international travel and long-term career progression.
