At Boliden, we know that the metals we mine and make available will continue to play a crucial role in the future – what matters is how we produce them.

Are you driven by the challenge of ensuring safety, sustainability, and technical excellence in tailings management? Do you identify with our core values of care, courage and responsibility? If so, this is for you.

Your opportunity

As an Engineer Of Record (EoR) at Boliden, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding our tailings storage facilities (TSF) throughout their entire lifecycle—from design and construction to operation, closure, and post-closure.

Who you will work with

The role of EoR sits with the department of Dam Safety and Geotechnics, within the Sustainability staff function at Boliden Mines. You will be part of a knowledgeable and dynamic team of dedicated professionals responsible for ensuring the integrity and safety of Boliden Mines TSF. As an EoR, you will collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to uphold the highest standards of engineering practice and regulatory compliance.

What you will do

As EoR for the Boliden Finnish TSF including Kevitsa as an operating site and Luikonlahti as a closed site, you will be overseeing the design, construction, operation, and closure. You will be responsible for ensuring that both TSF:s remains in compliance with regulatory and internal standards, including the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and other applicable regulations.

You will ensure that all engineering decisions are documented and traceable. This includes facilitating the risk management programme implementation, reviewing and approving engineering designs, construction and as-built reports, and ensuring that monitoring and surveillance programs are in place and effective.

You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders such as site operations, environmental teams, and senior leadership, as well as external consultants (including Designer of Record, third party reviewers and ITRB) and regulatory bodies. You will participate in site-wide efforts for e.g. permitting and Life of Mine planning.

Additionally, as a member of the sustainability staff, you will lead the development and implementation of governance frameworks, provide technical guidance, and ensure that all documentation and reporting meet the highest standards of quality and transparency.

This role is critical to ensuring the safe and sustainable management of tailings facilities and contributes directly to Boliden's commitment to responsible mining.

• A geotechnical or civil engineer with extensive demonstrated experience in tailings and mine waste management or dam engineering.

About Kevitsa

The Kevitsa Mine is located near Sodankylä, 170 km north of Rovaniemi in Finland's Lapland's region. The minerals extracted are Copper, Nickel, Gold, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals. Kevitsa mine operations were started in 2012. The TSF has been externally audited under 2025 and found in full conformance with the GISTM.

About Luikonlahti

The Kylylahti operations in Eastern Finland comprises two locations; the Kylylahti mine site in Polvijärvi municipality and the Luikonlahti mill site in Kaavi municipality. The mine was closed at the end of 2020 and has undergone remediation work that will continue into 2026 and beyond. The mill operated until December 2020 and has since been in a Care & Maintenance phase. The TSF used for storing tailings from the milling process is located at the Luikonlahti mill site and is thus called Luikonlahti TSF. The TSF was in operation between 1968–2020 (with a hiatus between 2006–2011), storing tailings from multiple operators and concentration processes.

A self-assessment of the conformance to GISTM, based on the guidance in the ICMM Conformance Protocols, has been conducted by the personnel at site together with other sites in Boliden. The results show that Luikonlahti is in partial conformance with the Standard.

Apply today to be part of something truly meaningful! At Boliden, diversity and inclusion are drivers of innovation. We know that different perspectives and experiences strengthen us and help us stay at the forefront of an important and exciting industry. Therefore, we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. Together, we have built a workplace where everyone can feel safe and inspired to reach their full potential.
