Job Description
Our client, a leading innovator in the mining sector, is seeking a highly experienced Senior Geotechnical Mining Engineer to join their dynamic and geographically dispersed team. This is a fully remote position, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere. The successful candidate will be instrumental in providing expert geotechnical analysis, advice, and support for a variety of mining projects, primarily focusing on subsurface exploration and resource extraction operations. You will be responsible for conducting detailed site investigations, assessing geological conditions, and developing robust geotechnical models to mitigate risks associated with mining activities. This includes the design and implementation of ground support systems, slope stability analyses, and mine dewatering strategies. Your role will involve close collaboration with exploration geologists, mine planners, and operations teams to ensure the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of our client's mining endeavors. You will also play a key role in the preparation of technical reports, feasibility studies, and proposals, communicating complex technical information to both internal stakeholders and external clients. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of rock mechanics, soil mechanics, and hydrogeology as they pertain to open-pit and underground mining environments. Proficiency in industry-standard geotechnical modeling software is essential. This role demands excellent analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving geotechnical challenges. The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines is crucial. You will contribute to the continuous improvement of geotechnical engineering practices and standards within the organization, fostering a culture of safety and technical excellence. While this role is fully remote, occasional travel to project sites may be required for critical assessments or team meetings, but the core work is performed remotely. We are looking for an individual with a strong academic background and several years of practical experience in a similar capacity within the mining industry. A passion for innovation and a commitment to sustainable mining practices are highly valued. If you are a results-oriented geoscientist with a proven track record in complex mining environments, we encourage you to apply.
