Gabriel Lemos, PMP®
Senior Project Engineer @ Kinross Gold Corporation
About
Civil Engineer (Geotechnical) and Senior Project Engineer with extensive experience leading and managing industrial projects across the Mining, Metallurgy, and Seed Industry sectors. With 9 years of experience in mining and 11 years in civil construction, I specialize in delivering CapEx and OpEx projects using FEL and AWP methodologies. I have supported and led initiatives starting in FEL 1, including feasibility assessments, scope definition, cost estimating, and business case development, progressing through FEL 2 and FEL 3 and into detailed engineering and construction. I have successfully delivered multidisciplinary projects with a strong focus on efficiency, quality, safety, and governance, with proven expertise in managing engineering and construction contracts. Currently, I lead strategic Long-Term projects connected to corporate planning and Life of Mine (LoM) extension, while also supporting and delivering initiatives related to tailings management and mine closure. I bring a solid track record in project definition (assumptions, requirements, feasibility), risk and opportunity management, and stakeholder alignment to enable sound decision-making and execution readiness. I have experience leading engineering teams across capital and sustaining projects, with strong capabilities in planning, delegation, performance tracking, and executive reporting. My leadership is grounded in trust, integrity, and discipline: I create clarity and transparency to surface issues early and unblock decisions, uphold technical criteria and compliance over personal preferences, and keep simple, consistent routines that drive predictability and delivery. I balance deep technical expertise with management rigor and interpersonal skills to build high-performance teams and consistent results. Technically, I am proficient in assessments, sizing and calculations, and multidisciplinary design delivery covering civil, mechanical, and electrical interfaces. Skilled in 3D modeling and in the design and calculation of concrete, steel, and composite structures. I also have strong expertise in workplace safety management and team development. Committed to continuous improvement of products, projects, processes, and technologies, ensuring delivery within scope, schedule, and budget while meeting legal and technical EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) requirements.
