FDA Ingenieros is a Chilean engineering firm serving mid-market and large mining operators with integrated project delivery across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic disciplines. The stack is heavy on CAD and simulation tools (AutoCAD, Tekla, SolidWorks, Revit, DIgSILENT, ETAP) with minimal cloud adoption—signaling a traditional, on-premise engineering culture. Hiring is overwhelmingly senior-weighted (63 of 98 active roles) and concentrated in engineering, reflecting both a mature technical organization and a challenge to scale junior talent in specialized mining disciplines.

FDA Ingenieros delivers multidisciplinary engineering projects for the mining, industrial, and energy sectors across Chile and internationally. The firm focuses on CAPEX/OPEX planning, structural and mechanical design, electrical and instrumentation systems, hydraulic engineering, and regulatory documentation (SIC, ADS, SPCI standards). Active project work spans mining plan development, production planning, piping engineering for pumping systems, and sustaining-mine portfolio execution. The organization emphasizes technical quality and long-term client relationships, with particular depth in metallurgical process innovation and extraction optimization.
Primary tools include AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla Structures, SolidWorks, Civil 3D, Navisworks, DIgSILENT, ETAP, and Plant 3D for design and simulation. Infrastructure runs Windows, Active Directory, and Microsoft Office ecosystem, with Fortinet and Ubiquiti for networking.
Current focus includes mining plan development, production planning optimization, pumping equipment piping engineering, sustaining-mine portfolio execution, and metallurgical process innovation. Gap analysis of extraction and mining technical documentation are also active areas.
