• Ground Control & Risk Management: Identify, assess, and manage geotechnical hazards, ensuring effective controls are implemented to maintain safety and operational continuity.

• Monitoring & Data Interpretation: Oversee geotechnical monitoring systems (mapping, instrumentation, seismic data where applicable), interpret results, and provide clear recommendations to operations.

• Operational Support: Deliver practical, site-based geotechnical guidance to underground crews, ensuring designs are executable.

• Technical Reviews & Assurance: Contribute to geotechnical investigations, design reviews, and periodic audits, ensuring compliance with site standards and regulatory requirements.

• Collaboration & Leadership: Work collaboratively across disciplines, mentoring junior engineers and contributing to continuous improvement of geotechnical practices.

About you

• Degree qualified in Geotechnical Engineering, Mining Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 6+ years’ experience in underground geotechnical roles, ideally within hard rock mining.
• Demonstrated experience supporting stoping operations and underground development.
• Strong understanding of ground support systems, failure mechanisms, and risk-based design.
