Excellent analytical skills, strong communication capabilities for remote collaboration, and a proven ability to manage complex technical challenges independently are essential for success in this position. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to significant projects and advance your career in a flexible, remote setting.

• Lead the geotechnical design for slope stability and earthworks on diverse international projects, operating remotely.
• Perform advanced geotechnical analyses, including limit equilibrium, finite element, and probabilistic methods for slope stability assessments.
• Design various earthworks, including cuttings, embankments, and engineered fills, ensuring compliance with project requirements and safety standards.
• Develop comprehensive site investigation programs and interpret geological and geotechnical data from global sites.
• Prepare detailed geotechnical investigation reports, design reports, and construction specifications.
• Provide expert technical guidance and mentorship to junior geotechnical engineers and technicians globally.
• Collaborate effectively with clients, project managers, geologists, and other engineering disciplines via digital platforms.
• Review and approve geotechnical designs and reports prepared by team members or external consultants.
• Stay current with advancements in geotechnical engineering software, analysis techniques, and best practices for slope and earthworks design.
• Manage project deliverables, ensuring quality, timeliness, and adherence to budget constraints for assigned tasks.
• Contribute to risk assessment and mitigation strategies for geotechnical hazards related to slopes and earthworks.
• Engage in client communication and support business development efforts through technical expertise.

• Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering or a related field with a strong focus on slope engineering.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng., PE) or equivalent international registration is highly desirable.
• A minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in geotechnical engineering, with significant experience in slope stability and earthworks.
• Expertise in geotechnical software for slope stability analysis (e.g., Geo Studio SLOPE/W, Rocscience Slide) and finite element modeling (e.g., Plaxis, FLAC).
• Thorough understanding of soil and rock mechanics principles relevant to slope and earthworks design.
• Experience with international geotechnical codes and standards is a significant advantage.
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate effectively in a remote setting.
• Self-motivated, highly organized, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
• Experience with large-scale mining projects or major infrastructure developments involving significant earthworks is preferred.
• Commitment to staying updated on industry best practices and new technologies.
