We Pursue a Higher Standard

We are a U.S.

-based, well-diversified, growing precious metals producer with seven wholly owned operations: the New Afton gold-copper mine in British Columbia, Canada, the Rainy River gold-silver mine in Ontario, Canada, the Las Chispas silver-gold mine in Sonora, Mexico, the Palmarejo gold-silver mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, the Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada, the Kensington gold mine in Alaska and the Wharf gold mine in South Dakota.

In addition, the Company wholly-owns the Silvertip polymetallic critical minerals exploration project in British Columbia, Canada.

Coeur Silvertip is one of the highest-grade silver-zinc lead projects in the world. Coeur is focused on targeted exploration of Silvertip’s large, highly prospective land package. Recent drilling results reinforce Silvertip’s growing potential as an emerging tier-one asset for the Company.

Coeur Silvertip prioritizes safety, teamwork, career development and growth.

About The Job

The Underground Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for providing practical and technically sound geotechnical support to underground mining operations king closely with Technical Services, Mine Operations and other technical disciplines, the role ensures the safe and efficient development, extraction, and rehabilitation of underground excavations through effective ground control, geotechnical design, monitoring, and risk management.

This site-based position combines hands-on field engagement with engineering analysis and design, supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of the Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) and other geotechnical risk management systems. The successful candidate will apply rock mechanics principles, monitoring data, and engineering judgment to develop practical solutions that enhance safety, operational performance, and mine value.

Responsibilities Geotechnical Engineering & Ground Control
  • Provide geotechnical and ground control support for underground mine operations, development, production, and rehabilitation activities.
  • Conduct routine underground inspections, damage mapping, field assessments, and condition reviews to identify geotechnical hazards and verify excavation performance.
  • Perform stability assessments using empirical, analytical, observational, and numerical modelling methods to evaluate excavation performance and support ground support design.
  • Develop and review ground support designs, cable bolt layouts, rehabilitation plans, and geotechnical work packages for underground excavations. Review drill and blast designs to minimize overbreak, under break, blast-induced damage, and dilution while optimizing excavation stability.
  • Perform stope stability assessments and support the design of underground mining layouts and extraction sequences.
  • Integrate rock mass characterization, structural geology, geotechnical logging, and mapping data into design and risk assessments.
  • Review mine designs, development layouts, engineering drawings, and operational plans to identify geotechnical risks and recommend mitigation measures.
  • Evaluate groundwater conditions and their influence on excavation stability, recommending mitigation measures where required.
Monitoring, Instrumentation & Risk Management
  • Lead geotechnical hazard identification and risk assessments for underground excavations, major development headings, stopes, and mine infrastructure.
  • Support and maintain geotechnical monitoring programs, including instrumentation, convergence monitoring, seismic monitoring, inspections, and surveillance activities;
  • Assess and monitor the stability of underground infrastructure including ramps, ore passes, crusher chambers, pump stations, ventilation raises, refuge stations, and other permanent…
