Job description

Studies and interpretations: Mapping and classification assessment of rock mass for foundations, bedrock, open rock faces or underground excavations (tunnels) according to GSI, Q and RMR ratings.
Engineering design solutions: Contribute to the development and implementation of feasibility tests for proposed technical solutions to provide feedback and data to validate the design.
Recommendation of technical developments: Define assumptions and parameters for numerical modeling; prepare Geotechnical Baseline Reports (GBR);
Project management: Perform technical follow-up to ensure the quality of executed works (excavation, drilling, consolidation for stabilization of rock faces, installation of rock bolts and/or anchors, grouting, shotcrete placement, in-situ testing, etc.), coordinate site monitoring activities (geotechnical instrumentation and others) and ensure effective communication with the client. Supervise various excavation works, including installation of temporary or permanent support systems and rock consolidation, grouting, etc.;
Data collection and analysis: Prepare technical notes as well as study, feasibility and design reports for consolidation of rock faces (natural or excavated), tunnels and/or caverns; prepare drawings and specifications related to geotechnical design of temporary or permanent support in rock mechanics; perform numerical analysis using finite element and/or finite difference methods for geostructural designs in rock mechanics;
Knowledge management: Implement policies and processes, collect best practices and case studies, and participate in internal knowledge-sharing sessions to gather and share lessons learned and innovative practices among colleagues on project/program outcomes.
Client management (external): Contribute to client management on behalf of more senior business development staff using existing client management systems.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Geological or Civil Engineering;
Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in rock mass classification and design of underground and/or open-pit excavations in rock;

Team-oriented, performance- and results-driven;
Strong understanding of geomorphology, petrography and structural geology in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks;
Advanced knowledge of modeling concepts and elements related to soil-structure interaction analyses;
Advanced technical report writing skills;
Proficiency with geotechnical modeling/simulation software (RSDATA, Swedge, Unwedge, RocPlane, Slide, RS2, RS3, Plaxis 2D and 3D, FLAC2D, FLAC3D (UDEC and 3DEC are an asset) or others);
Excellent ability to communicate in French (oral and written);
Possession of the ASP Construction card;
Valid driver's license and a vehicle;
Dynamic individual ready to work in a team within a fast-paced environment.
