Management Consultant - Mining

We Are

Accenture's Canada Natural Resources (CNR) practice works where strategy meets the working face. We help the world's largest mining companies close the gap between investment and outcomes, across planning, operations, maintenance, processing, and the commercial decisions that tie it all together. Our work spans the full Mine-to-Market chain: from resource to revenue, from site-level performance to boardroom strategy.

We are a team of practitioners. Most of us have spent years inside mining companies before joining Accenture. That operational credibility is how we earn trust with clients, and how we deliver work that actually holds up once we leave the site.

About Accenture's Mining Practice

Accenture's global mining practice works with leading mining companies to apply innovation, transformational strategies, and digital enablement to improve operations, drive growth, and reduce risk. With decades of experience, we bring an unmatched combination of industry knowledge, technology expertise, and strategic vision to deliver comprehensive, integrated solutions at speed and scale.

Our skilled consulting professionals engage with mining executives to reach new levels of performance and sustainability across the full mining value chain - from pit to port, and from sensor to boardroom.

Canada's Natural Resources practice is Accenture's mining centre of gravity in North America. Our differentiating position is Mine-to-Market transformation: integrating across the value chain to close the gap between digital investment and balance sheet outcomes. We work at the operational core of our clients' businesses, not from the outside looking in.

You Are

You understand the industry, how value is created, and how to connect the dots. You are equally comfortable exploring the big questions with senior leaders and working alongside teams to make change real. You listen, connect ideas across the organization, and bring together the right people to move from ambition to action. You know that the best strategies are shaped with, and delivered by, the people closest to the work

Now you want to use that experience at greater scale. Not because you want to escape the industry. Because you want to shape it.

You move comfortably between a technical conversation with an engineer and a business case in front of a sponsor. You can identify where value is leaking before anyone has told you to look. And you're comfortable to function in an imperfect and fast paced environment

The Work

• Assess client functions and performance across the mining value chain -from exploration, mine design and planning, extraction, maintenance, processing, and logistics - and identify where performance, cost, capital efficiency, and enterprise value can be improved across both corporate and operating assets

• Structure opportunities in business terms, including cost per tonne, throughput, asset utilisation, capital recovery, and broader enterprise impact across metrics such as EBITDA, AISC, cash flow, and return on invested capital

• Develop and pressure-test strategic recommendations for senior client stakeholders - including business cases, investment rationale, portfolio prioritization, and growth or cost strategy - translating operational insight into boardroom-ready positions

• Design solutions that span process, people, and technology, with sound judgment on when each lever will create the greatest value

• Support technology-enabled transformation work - including platform reinvention, intelligent enterprise programs, and digital initiatives - by grounding solutions in operational reality and ensuring they deliver measurable business outcomes

• Lead and deliver implementation workstreams alongside client teams, moving beyond recommendation into execution and sustained value delivery

• Build credibility with operational and technical counterparts at site level while creating executive-ready communications and engaging confidently with project sponsors and senior corporate stakeholders

• Contribute to CNR practice development through proposals, thought leadership, and internal knowledge building

• Support the development of junior team members through active coaching, collaboration, and apprenticeship

What You Bring

• A working knowledge of the mining value chain and how decisions at each stage affect the bottom line

• The ability to diagnose operational problems with structure, and not just describe symptoms

• Comfort at every interface: site technical teams, project offices, corporate leadership

• Quantitative grounding to build and stress-test a business case

• Pragmatism: you know what can be realistically implemented, not just what looks good on a PowerPoint slide

• Willingness to be on-site with clients, as and when the project requires

What Makes This Role Different

• This is not a performance strategy or process improvement rotation. We are building a practice with deep industry roots and a distinctive point of view on how mining companies generate value across the full chain from resource to revenue. The work is integrative by design - spanning strategy, operations, technology, and commercial outcomes.

• You will work with clients on problems that matter. Mine design decisions ahead of major capital investment. Operational performance programs at scale. Maintenance transformations that change the cost structure of a site. Digital programs that need operational context to deliver business results - not just data.

• If you want to go deep in an industry you already know, and build a body of work that compounds over time, this is that role
