Geotechnical InSAR Analyst - Mining

We are Sky Geo
, a company that provides our clients with essential geotechnical insights
. Every day, we help them understand, at a very early stage, how ground movement will impact their valuable assets. We have built an excellent and divers team to treat InSAR increasingly as a professional service. To continue enhancing our ability to provide these insights at scale, we require the best people to work with us. We are seeking colleagues who want to help build the business and grow professionally by discovering a wide range of applications

We are seeking a highly skilled engineer or geoscientist, ideally with a strong background in geotechnical engineering or geology in the mining industry.

you will:

• Analyze SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and InSAR (Interferometric SAR) products, focusing specifically on mines and mining customers.

• Dive deep into InSAR outputs and other remote sensing data.

• Apply your expertise in geotechnical analysis to optimize mining operations, detect geohazards, and support client decision‑making processes.

Engage with mining industry stakeholders (mining companies and geotechnical teams) to understand their specific requirements and challenges.

Identify and monitor ground deformation, slope instability, subsidence, and other geological phenomena related to mining activities. Interpret InSAR results using the Sky Geo interactive platform and provide technical expertise, support, insightful presentations, and reports.

Ingest and analyze GIS data to put processing outputs into the context of the mining operation. Identify and assess potential geohazards, such as slope or dam instability and ground subsidence, using InSAR data.

Generate clear and concise reports, maps, and visualizations to communicate InSAR results effectively to mining clients. Present findings in a comprehensible manner, including technical documentation and presentations.

You will also have Project Management responsibilities for your projects, which cover approximately 10-15% of your time and are crucial to the project success:

• Ensure internal and external coordination between the Sky Geo and client teams.

• Oversee recurring monitoring activities. This includes coordinating timelines, tracking deliverable status, and ensuring timely delivery of reports and clear customer communication.

• Organize structured internal project check‑ins and external client meetings.

• Support continuous improvement by keeping track of open action items, flagging risks to the project team, and ensuring follow‑up and project documentation.

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in geomatics, remote sensing, geophysics, geology, engineering, or a related field.
• Engineering/Geology: Understanding of geology, mining engineering, and rock mechanics principles.
• Experience: At least two years of experience working in mining operations in a geotechnical or adjacent role.
• Analytical
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities to interpret complex geospatial data. The ability to synthesize information from multiple sources is also required.
• Communication: Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present technical information to diverse audiences. Full Professional Proficiency in English is required.
• Organizational & Project Management: Strong organizational and timeline‑management skills, including experience with project tracking tools. Proven ability to manage recurring deliverables (e.g., bi‑weekly or monthly reports) with consistent on‑time completion is essential.
• Work Style: Ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams and manage multiple projects simultaneously. Attention to detail is required, with a focus on quality control and data validation.

• Geospatial Tools: Experience with GIS environments (QGIS, ArcGIS, etc.).
• Monitoring Systems: Experience working with ground‑based monitoring systems (Ground based radar, prism/survey data, GNSS).
• InSAR/Remote Sensing: K…
