  • Provide technical guidance and support to mine planning and operations personnel via digital platforms.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of geotechnical risk management strategies.
Requirements
  • MSc in Geotechnical Engineering, Mining Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant geotechnical engineering experience in the mining industry.
  • Proficiency with geotechnical software such as Rocscience (Phase2, Slide), Maptek, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of rock mechanics, soil mechanics, and slope stability principles.
  • Excellent analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex geological and geotechnical data.
  • Proven ability to work independently and communicate effectively in a remote setting.
Benefits
  • Competitive remote salary with potential for performance bonuses.
  • Flexible working hours and the ability to work from any location.
  • Company-provided equipment and a home office stipend.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
  • Access to online professional development courses and virtual conferences.
