vor 2 Wochen


Brisbane City, Österreich Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. Vollzeit
Overview

Geosyntec is growing in Australia. We now have over 110 practitioners across the country, with offices in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Gold Coast. In 2022, Red Earth Engineering joined the Geosyntec family of companies, bringing with them some of the very best expertise in the mine tailings and water dam sectors.

We are now the tailings and geotechnical consultant of choice for several major mining companies with operations in Australia. As an example of our commitment to leading the industry in innovation and technical excellence, we have recently announced the establishment of an advanced testing facility led by Dr. David Reid. Our expertise, combined with Geosyntec’s world-class reputation in hydrogeology, geochemistry, geotechnical engineering, seismicity and risk allows us to assist our client in meeting their engineering challenges and better understanding their risk. 

We have an opportunity available for a Senior Tailings Engineer to join one of our offices in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Gold Coast. This position is well-suited for a talented, experienced individual who is interested in contributing to and managing innovative and challenging projects including several projects where we are current the designated Engineer or Record.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

This role focuses on support our client’s tailings and mine waste management and operational teams to ensure their facilities are safe.  Compliance to the latest standards (which are evolving) is critical for mining companies to demonstrate their commitment to ESG and for the Social License to Operate. This role forms part of our team to provide the technical and operation support for Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) and Water Storage Facilities (WSF).  As a Senior Tailings Engineer, this role requires the application of the tasks listed below (geotechnical engineer), but also an expanding knowledge of all elements and disciplines required to design these facilities, such as hydrogeology, process, geochemistry, water, civil engineering and social engagement.  The expectation of this role is that the candidate will fullfill the role of a deputy EoR, with future career development to become an EoR.

Some of the key responsibilities may include:

  • Civil/Geotechnical/Tailings dam design; 
  • Geotechnical analyses using various software packages;
