Are you passionate about developing winning proposals and looking to make a meaningful impact in the mining industry?
Okane has an exciting opportunity for a Proposal Coordinator to join our growing proposals team. In this role, you will play a key part in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Okane's proposal process by coordinating, developing, and managing competitive proposals, bids, and prequalification submissions for qualified opportunities.

At Okane, we believe that integrated mine closure planning is just the starting point to ‘Help Create a Better Tomorrow’. We work with mining companies to return land responsibly and safely, enabling what comes next to serve both people and the planet. Our work challenges the status quo — we advocate for meaningful partnerships with communities, including Indigenous rightsholders, and design solutions that create lasting financial, environmental, and social value. From early-stage planning through to relinquishment, we’re helping reshape the future of mining — and we’re looking for people who want to be part of that transformation.
