With us, you’ll get the opportunity to...
- Provide early-stage technical review and risk management for tailings, dam and mine-infrastructure projects
- Lead geotechnical engineering evaluations and assessments
- Prepare and manage site investigation plans
- Manage geotechnical projects, from proposal through to delivery
- Perform terrain hazard assessments
- Perform dam and tailings facility design
- Perform seepage and slope stability analyses for rock and soil
- Perform underground design and provide construction supervision
- Design and oversee geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring programs
- Provide expertise in geotechnical and subsurface infrastructure solutions
- Lead the production of geotechnical reports, specifications and drawings
- Manage clients, contractors and subcontractors
