At SXGC, we've just reached a milestone moment—the approval of the decline. We're now stepping into one of the most critical phases of our development pathway, where underground planning, sequencing and execution set the foundation for our long‑term success.
We're seeking an Underground Development Manager who brings technical depth, forward planning discipline and operational leadership. Someone who thrives in a high‑growth exploration‑to‑development environment where decisions matter and accountability is real.
If you're ready to help build a world‑class underground operation from the ground up, this is your moment.

You'll be joining a team that moves with pace, values technical excellence, and empowers its leaders to make meaningful, high‑impact decisions. Here, your work won't sit on a shelf. It will directly influence the safety, design, sequencing and performance of our underground future.
If you thrive in dynamic environments, want genuine ownership, and are energized by establishing high standards from day one—SXGC is where you'll excel.
