About this role
Perform geomechanics analyses and excavation designs supporting Life‑of‑Mine (LOM) plans, studies, and operational decision‑making. Develop and maintain geomechanical models, domains, and design parameters. Provide geomechanics input to mining method selection, excavation and slope design, sequencing, and layout optimization. Collaborate with Technical Services, Planning, Geology, Hydrogeology, and Operations to address slope stability, ground control, and seismic hazards. Support the development and implementation of Ground Control Management Plans, Seismic Risk Management Plans, and Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs). Participate in geotechnical investigations, audits, and reviews. Prepare clear technical reports and presentations to communicate findings to operational teams and senior stakeholders. Provide operational and on‑call technical support as required. The ideal candidate will possess a bachelor degree in Geotechnical, Geomechanics, Mining/Rock Engineering, or related field. Must be either registered or eligible to register as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada 5-7 years of minimum work experience (4+ post P.Eng.) in relevant geotechnical fields. Strong experience with numerical modelling tools (e.g., FLAC3D, 3DEC, Rocscience Suite, Map3D) applied to mining geomechanics, programming and scripting related to these tools considered an asset. Solid understanding of mine design, ground control, geology, hydrogeology, and mining operations. Knowledge of industry‑standard software related to mine planning, geological modelling, and geotechnical monitoring systems considered an asset. Strong analytical judgment and decision‑making capability in complex, risk‑based mining environments. Knowledge of hydrogeological concepts as applied to geotechnical analysis Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce concise, high‑quality technical documents and presentations. Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills, with demonstrated experience mentoring junior professionals and building relationships across multidisciplinary teams. Self‑starter with strong time‑management skills and the ability to prioritize competing technical and operational demands.
