The successful candidate will consult on projects for North American and international clients, which will require travel. Assignments will include providing expertise and applying rock mechanics principles to predominantly underground and some surface mine design issues. This work will involve full project scopes from conceptual studies to the detailed design and construction stage, operational support, as well as to the mine closure stage, liaising with other technical specialists as required. The position will include preparing proposals, participating in marketing efforts and developing and leading project teams.

• 7-10 years of relevant experience; operating mine and previous consulting experience is beneficial.
• Proficiency in 3D geological modelling software.
• Proficiency in some 2D/3D geotechnical numerical modeling skills.
• Substantial practical experience in geotechnical logging/evaluation, including the development and management of geotechnical field evaluation programs.

• Strong communication and reporting skills.
• Demonstrated team leadership and project management experience.
• Professional registration or eligibility to obtain it.

As a Senior Consultant, the successful candidate will be expected to create and maintain client relationships and work in a team environment. Strong communication skills and interpersonal capabilities are essential.

This position involves working in multi-disciplinary teams on a range of projects both nationally and overseas; international travel may form a significant part of the role.

In return for considering a future with us, we offer:

• An attractive compensation package.
