Senior Geotechnical Engineer

## About the role - Establish, review, and update key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the effectiveness of tailings management practices. - Ensure compliance with international and local geotechnical and environmental standards related to tailings storage and disposal. - Perform risk assessments and develop mitigation plans for geotechnical hazards such as pile instability and erosion. - Prepare and maintain detailed technical reports, designs, and documentation related to tailings management. - Provide input for the development of operational procedures and emergency action plans specific to geotechnical risks. - Contribute to the budgeting and planning process by defining geotechnical requirements, constraints, and associated costs. - Provide training and guidance to operational staff to promote awareness and adherence to geotechnical best practices. - Responsible for 5S and housekeeping of the area. - Actively participate in the budgetary cycle and in the strategic planning, defining premises from the key performance indicators and specific consumptions. - Create detailed cost estimates for upcoming tailings projects. - Set and monitor tailings KPIs. - Support and follow implementation of GISTM requirements. - Analyse performance data to identify areas for improvement. - Support safe operation and monitoring of tailings facilities. - Evaluate geotechnical risks associated with tailings storage facilities (TSFs). - Conduct site investigations to determine soil, rock, and tailings properties. - Monitor facility performance and stability. - Analyse data from monitoring systems to detect movement, seepage, or pressure build-up. - Conduct regular inspections and field assessments of embankments and foundations. - Prepare reports on facility performance and recommend corrective actions if needed. - Ensure TSFs meet regulatory geotechnical safety requirements and industry standards. - Contribute to annual reports, safety reviews, and risk assessments. - Contribute to tailings lifecycle planning. - Support long-term planning of tailings storage capacity and closure strategies. - Evaluate options for stack raises, expansions, or new facilities from a geotechnical perspective. - Participate in feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments related to tailings. - Advise on rehabilitation and post-closure stability of TSFs. ## Requirements - Experience: 10 years minimum. - Education: Master's or bachelor's degree in mining engineering /Geotechnical Engineering. - Specific requirement: Proficiency English both written and spoken. - Strong knowledge in Office (Excel, PPT, Word). - Good knowledge and understanding material characteristic and tailing disposal management. - The lead geotechnical engineer needs to be aware of the technologies and instrumentation that are used in tailing area. - Proficiency in geotechnical analysis software, including Slide2D, RS2, GeoStudio (SLOPE/W and SEEP/W), PLAXIS and AutoCAD. ## Nice to have - (None specified in the original text) ## What we offer - (None specified in the original text) ## About us - (None specified in the original text)
