Original job description

Your Opportunity

Stantec is seeking a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our Energy and Resources business group within Western Canada. This position will work collaboratively with other Stantec offices across Canada, the United States, South America and Australia, to support the service needs of our clients on local and international projects, primarily on metal, coal and large oil sands mining projects.

The focus of the position will be to engage our highly skilled team of engineers and scientists in the technical planning, design, and execution of a variety of projects in soils and bedrock environments, within one or more of our core areas of expertise as follows:

Pitwall engineering

Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF)
Waste Storage Facilities (WSF)
Civil foundations and infrastructure design
Closure and reclamation
Field investigations and laboratory testing
Geotechnical instrumentation and performance monitoring

This position has strong emphasis on communication and interaction with Stantec’s technical, professional and management personnel and clients. While the initial primary focus will be on mining projects managed out of the Vancouver, Calgary or Ontario offices, it is expected that the candidate will have opportunities to also interact with mining teams in other Stantec’s offices.

Other responsibilities and essential job tasks include, but are not limited to the following:

Lead comprehensive geomechanics studies, numerical modelling and stress analysis for surface and underground mine structures.
Lead rock mass assessments and stability analysis designs.
Execute seismic monitoring and hazard assessments.
Lead the completion of ground support and ground response monitoring designs.
Lead the planning and completion of geotechnical site investigations. This may include instrumentation, logging, sampling, and field testing.
Lead the installation, monitoring and interpretation of data from geotechnical instrumentation.
Lead analyses and design of complex earth and rock structures.
Support mine and tailings planning groups in the development and design of large mining and closure projects.
Lead the preparation of technical design documents.
Lead the development of technical drawings, figures and models.
Lead the preparation of project technical proposals.
Provide peer/senior review of technical deliverables and designs.
Comply with and actively participate in Stantec and client safety programs.
Lead work in line with Stantec Core Values and in accordance with Stantec’s Quality, Safety & Environment Systems and Project Quality Procedures
