Position Overview
The Opportunity
The Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for evaluating soil, rock, effects of
groundwater, and geologic conditions to ensure the safe and efficient design,
construction, and operation of mining projects. This role supports open-pit mines,
underground mines, tailings storage facilities, waste dumps, haul roads, and related
infrastructure by assessing ground stability and geotechnical risks.
Geotechnical Engineers work closely with mine planning, geology, operations,
environmental, and civil engineering teams to optimize mine safety, production, and
long-term stability.
Responsibilities
Conduct geotechnical investigations including drilling programs, rock and soil
sampling, laboratory testing, and field mapping.
Analyze rock mass behavior, slope stability, ground support requirements, and
soil mechanics.
Develop geotechnical models for op...
