Geotechnical Project Engineer

Roles:
A) Reporting to the Senior Geotechnical Engineer, you will support and optimise mine designs by
assisting the development of structural geological models and other geotechnical projects. This
role involves working with a mix of office and field based environments on a day roster.

Responsibilities:

Build and maintain suitable engineering models for interim and LOM open pit geotechnical design.
Assist in the coordination and execution of the Open Pit structural model management programme
Oversee the structural geology and engineering geology inputs
Maintain and promote rigourous standards of data collection
Participate in geotechnical projects
Manage the monitoring of pit wall stability
Ensure geotechnical integrity of construction, design and safety
Conduct investigations and inspections and evaluate mine plans
Provide geotechnical expertise advice to senior management
Assisting in mine planning on excavation designs
Geotechnical mapping
Identification and management of geotechnical risks and hazard planning
Stability analysis
Data collection
You will be responsible for geotechnical assessments, field surveys, report writing and
site classifications for residential construction planning. In the longer term you will be
responsible for mentoring and managing people as well as helping to diversify the
company and win new business.

The successful candidate will have a background as a Geotechnical Engineer /
Engineering Geologist ideally with experience of Melbourne soils. You will have a
proven ability to carry out site investigations and surveys as well as excellent technical
report writing and AutoCAD based documentation abilities. You must be conversant
with Australian standards and familiar with AS 2870 residential slabs & footings, footing
design, and familiarity with relevant computer softwares
Co-ordination, supervision and assisted design and reporting of geotechnical
investigations generally associated with earthworks, excavation, footings and
pavements. Geotechnical design including retaining wall,footing design and slope
stability analysis. Solid project book covering residential, commercial and industrial
developments

Reporting into the Principal Engineering Geologist you will be responsible for managing
the Geotechnical Engineering projects including liquefaction assessments, stability
assessments, cut slope design work (rock and soil) and detailed geotechnical mapping
of rock and core logging.



FIELD GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERS/ENGINEERING
GEOLOGISTS

Undertake geotechnical investigations (including drilling, test pitting, geological
mapping) in remote and challenging (yet stunning!) equatorial environments.
Transition into a mainly office based role focusing on conceptual and detailed
engineering design and investigations of geotechnical and civil mining infrastructure,
maintaining design in accordance with relevant standards, guidelines and
specifications. Typical technical services/project types include:
Desktop assessments, primarily geological / geotechnical data collection,
manipulation, interpretation, design and reporting.
Geotechnical modelling, using software such as Slope/W, Seep/W, etc., and in-house
analytical tools. In-house training of these modelling platforms and analytical tools will
be provided as required.
Complete engineering designs, reports, drawings, specifications, presentations and bill
of quantities.
Responsibilities:
site investigation experience, particularly geotechnical logging of soil and rock core.
excellent verbal and written English communication skills
strong initiative, motivation and drive toward long-term success
ability to operate autonomously and within group environments
ability to operate with lateral services and on multidisciplinary projects
energy and passion for developing and servicing world-class mining environmental
engineering projects
Landslide and slope stability studies
Seismic risk analysis, liquefaction assessment and earthquake engineering
Foundation design for bridges and other structures
Pile foundation design; full scale static and dynamic load testing
Excavation shoring using soil nailing and other systems
Retaining wall design, including, geosynthetic reinforcement and structural systems
Geotechnical investigation and design across a variety of projects
Working in a range of soil and rock types
Working with project managers to ensure successful delivery of projects
Building internal and external networks
We are looking for the following skills and experience:
Minimum BE qualification in civil/geotechnical engineering
Rock slope support design
Foundation investigation
Design on soft/liquefiable ground
At least six years geotechnical engineering experience
Excellent client relationship skills
Investigations, ranging from major highway alignments and tunnels, to residential, industrial,
and slope stability investigations. Gain experience in geotechnical mapping of large cut faces in
preparation of major earthworks, slope stability testing and monitoring, instrument installation
and quality control work pertaining to the inspection of major structural foundation

Planning, supervision and interpretation of site investigations on projects ranging between
highways to residential and industrial developments. Undertake design of conventional and
piled foundations for civil engineering industrial and building developments. Also carry out the
design and analysis of numerous retaining walls, natural and reinforced slopes

Organisation of drilling investigations, logging of soil samples and rock core, and conducting site
investigations for a range of commercial, residential and industrial developments.
