About this role
Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, Engineers of Record (EoR), site operations, external consultants, and regulatory stakeholders, you will contribute to ensuring the integrity, reliability, and long-term performance of geotechnical infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Geotechnical Engineering & Dam Safety Conduct advanced geotechnical assessments related to dam safety, stability, seepage, deformation, and risk management. Review and validate geotechnical investigations, engineering designs, stability analyses, liquefaction assessments, and numerical modelling studies. Evaluate monitoring, instrumentation, hydrogeological, geodetic, and inspection data to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities. Support dam safety inspections, independent technical reviews, audits, and regulatory assessments. Participate in the review and approval of dam projects, facility raises, modifications, and closure plans. Contribute to Dam Safety Plans, Emergency Action Plans, risk assessments, and regulatory submissions. Support compliance with applicable regulations, industry standards, and global best practices, including GISTM principles. Coordinate and review work completed by specialized geotechnical consultants and engineering service providers. Develop and maintain technical standards, procedures, guidelines, and best practices. Prepare technical reports, engineering opinions, and presentations for management and governance committees. Provide independent engineering judgment to support strategic and operational decision-making. Share technical knowledge and mentor colleagues to advance geotechnical excellence across the business. Manage geotechnical databases and ensure the integrity, accessibility, and quality of critical geotechnical information. Prepare technical reports, monitoring summaries, engineering assessments, and presentations for stakeholders. Communicate technical findings and recommendations to both operational and technical audiences. Mentor and develop junior geotechnical professionals through training, coaching, and technical guidance. Promote innovation through advanced modelling approaches, data analytics, AI applications, and emerging technologies. Minimum 11 years of geotechnical engineering experience. Proven experience within the mining industry. Significant experience supporting Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) and dam safety programs. Experience with waste rock facilities, filtered tailings facilities, and mine infrastructure. Demonstrated expertise in geotechnical risk management and geotechnical investigations. Experience delivering conceptual, prefeasibility, feasibility, and detailed engineering studies. Experience working with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders. Undergraduate Degree in Civil Engineering with specialization in Geotechnical Engineering or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, geotechnical investigations, and site characterization. Expertise in slope stability, seepage analysis, liquefaction assessment, and numerical modelling. Knowledge of dam safety management, risk assessment methodologies, and tailings behaviour. Familiarity with industry standards and guidelines, including GISTM, CDA, and ICOLD. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical review capabilities. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and communicate complex technical concepts effectively. Strong ownership, accountability, and risk-based decision-making mindset. Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering or related discipline. PhD is considered a strong asset. Experience supporting global mining operations and major capital projects. Advanced proficiency in English; additional languages are an asset.
