Employer: Terracad Geoscience Services Ltd. (primary work supporting Doubleview Gold Corp.)
Location: Vancouver, BC with regular travel to site(s), regulators and Indigenous communities. Not a remote role. Must be able to work from the office when in town and be on‑site as required.
Reports to: President & CEO
Type: Full‑time
The Opportunity
Terracad Geoscience Services and Doubleview Gold Corp. are advancing a flagship polymetallic discovery in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. This role is for a hands‑on permitting and regulatory practitioner who will personally drive the day‑to‑day work forward, building and managing permits, maintaining regulatory discipline, coordinating baseline studies, and keeping the team aligned and compliant.
The Hat Project (HAT) is the priority. You will also support the advancement of other projects by moving them forward through disciplined tenure, permitting, and compliance execution.
Role Purpose (Ground‑Up / “Doer” Mandate)
The Vice President, Permitting & Regulatory Affairs is the execution lead for permitting, regulatory submissions, and compliance tracking, ensuring exploration and project activities progress smoothly and defensibly.
This is not a “direct from above” role. It is built for someone who:
- jumps in, owns the work, and closes loops,
- is loyal, reliable, and steady under pressure,
- brings rigorous recordkeeping and submission discipline, and
- thrives in a practical, fast‑moving exploration environment.
Key Accountabilities (Hands‑On Execution)
1) Permitting & Regulatory Submissions (Primary)
- Personally prepare and submit BC exploration permitting, including Notice of Work (NoW) applications and supporting materials.
- Coordinate and complete supporting authorizations as required (e.g., water use, stream crossing, timber cutting) and manage follow‑ups with reviewers to drive approvals.
- Maintain a practical permitting roadmap and renewal calendar, ensuring deadlines are met and submissions are complete, accurate, and defensible.
2) Mineral Tenure & Claims Management
- Verify and maintain mineral tenure records and standing; track annual requirements, maintenance fees, renewals, and assessment obligations.
- Prepare and file required documentation and maintain a disciplined, centralized tenure database and document repository.
3) Baseline Studies & Compliance (Field‑Practical)
- Identify baseline needs (wildlife, vegetation, archaeology, hydrology, meteorology) and coordinate the work with external consultants.
- Track deliverables, maintain QA/QC discipline on files, and ensure baseline outputs are properly archived and ready to support permitting and future studies.
- Ensure compliance tracking is current and audit‑ready (permits, conditions, commitments, correspondence, and submissions).
4) Indigenous & Community Coordination (Execution Support)
- Support consultation processes by tracking requirements, maintaining records, and coordinating communications and documentation as needed.
- Contribute to drafting and recordkeeping for agreements and protocols where applicable (e.g., exploration agreements, MOUs, capacity funding).
5) Internal Coordination (Get Things Done)
- Work directly with package owners, project leads, and technical teams to gather inputs, resolve gaps, and keep permitting moving.
- Maintain disciplined document control and ensure work products are complete, consistent, and defensible for regulatory review.
6) Nice‑to‑Have: U.S. / Arizona Familiarity (Not Required)
- Familiarity with U.S. permitting systems—particularly Arizona MEP and GFOP—is considered an asset, but not a requirement.
What We’re Looking For (Style & Character Fit)
This role requires a loyal, practical operator—someone who takes pride in being dependable and finishing what they start.
You likely have:
- A track record as a hands‑on permitting / tenure / regulatory practitioner in exploration or mining.
- Strong personal discipline in recordkeeping, document control, and deadline management.
- The ability to work directly with regulators, consultants, and internal stakeholders—calmly and effectively—without needing layers of structure.
- Comfort being on‑site when required, and in the office when in town (this is not a remote role).
Experience & Qualifications
- Experience managing mineral tenure portfolios and/or exploration permitting in BC (Notice of Work, Mines Act pathways).
- Experience coordinating baseline studies and regulatory submissions; ability to produce clear, accurate documentation.
- Post‑secondary education in environmental science, geoscience, engineering, land management, or related field (P.Geo./P.Eng./R.P.Bio. an asset).
