Job Summary: A professional responsible for ensuring the safety and stability of underground excavations through advanced geotechnical engineering, strategic planning, and risk mitigation. Key Highlights: 1. Strategic involvement in mine planning and operations with a geotechnical focus 2. Responsibility for structural integrity and safety of excavations 3. Safety transformation agent focused on excellence and innovation **Purpose** The purpose of this position is to ensure the safety and stability of underground excavations by applying advanced geotechnical engineering principles. The professional will be responsible for providing strategic support to mine planning, operations, geology, and exploration—assessing rock mass behavior, designing effective reinforcement solutions, and implementing practices that guarantee the structural integrity of excavations while mitigating risks associated with geotechnical instability. Additionally, the professional will act as a safety transformation agent, promoting strategic alignment, technical excellence, and innovation within their area of expertise. **Responsibilities:** * Responsible for logging core samples into the geotechnical database. * Conduct geotechnical mapping to produce support/reinforcement damage maps and interpretations. * Develop geotechnical models based on regional and persistent structures and provide related information. * Analyze and interpret rock mass behavior and associated failure mechanisms. * Manage geotechnical liabilities (backlog). * Validate geotechnical development methodologies using monthly, annual, and multi-year plans. * Ensure geotechnical assumptions comply with NR 22 and other applicable technical standards. * Produce and maintain updated geotechnical risk maps for mines (underground and open-pit). * Manage geotechnical risk control based on the effectiveness of support standards and excavation design parameter specifications. * Perform back-analyses and simulation models for numerical geotechnical analysis. * Interpret monitoring data and propose site-specific TARP’s (Technical Action Response Plans). * Conduct field audits to ensure quality control and compliance with excavation layout. * Ensure knowledge transfer through mentoring of field operational teams. * Monitor the process of risk assessment and review related to rock mechanics. * Conduct field inspections to ensure improved quality control, including tests for: anchor pull-out, cable installation, concrete thickness and quality, and adherence to cable installation designs. * Analyze quality and information from rock mechanics laboratory testing. * Implement proactive safety tools. * Implement proposals for continuous improvement and innovation. **Requirements:** * Bachelor’s degree in Mining Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Geology. * Active CREA registration. * Postgraduate studies or master’s degree in the field preferred.
