Put the right people where the work happens
A mine does not stop because a role is vacant. It runs worse, and it keeps running worse for as long as the seat is empty. A project without a director slips in ways that are hard to recover, and a general manager’s absence shows up in production and culture long before it shows up in a report.
The people who fill these roles are hard to reach because they are already doing the job somewhere else, often somewhere that takes two flights and a truck to get to.
This is the work Lincoln Strategic was created for. We place operational, technical and project leadership into producing mines, development projects and exploration programmes, including the jurisdictions most firms find hardest to reach.
What it covers
We cover site-based and technical leadership across the life of an asset:
- General managers and mine managers for producing operations
- Project directors and project managers for high-value capex builds
- Mining engineers, geologists, metallurgists and processing managers
- Maintenance, engineering and asset management leadership
- Environmental, social and governance leadership, including tailings and water
- Technology and transformation leadership for automation and digital programmes
- Whole project operations teams, sequenced so that the first appointment helps shape the next
How it works
challenging deliverables and remote locations. That combination is what narrows a market from thousands to a handful. And knowing which of that handful will actually move is what makes us different.
We talk to these people continuously, not only when a mandate lands, so a search usually starts with a live view of who is coming to the end of a build, who is ready for a bigger asset, and who would consider a rotation into an unfamiliar country.
Assessment runs alongside the search, because a technical appointment into a remote operation depends as much on how someone works as on what they know.
Getting them there, and keeping them there
Moving a specialist across a border is half the job. For appointments into Canada, our Immigration into Canada and Community and workplace integration services, delivered through our partnership with IVEY Group, a licensed Canadian immigration firm, handle work permits, family reunification and permanent residency, then arrival, banking, healthcare and accommodation once people land.
Replacing a specialist mid-project is expensive, and the reasons people leave early often have nothing to do with the work itself.
