The Opportunity

Our geotechnical and tailings engineers work on large-scale world-class projects both in Australia and internationally, and are looking for talented engineers to help support the ongoing growth and success of our Australasian business.

  • Developing a basis for defensible soil strength parameters, using laboratory and field results;
  • Undertaking screening level and detailed design analyses to support the design of tailings storage facilities and other earth structures, initially under close guidance from our senior specialists, but with a view to carrying out such work independently;
  • Developing designs for tailings storage facilities and other earth structures;
  • Managing the specification and implementing design changes while on site;
  • Assisting with project planning and preparation of technical deliverables;
  • Assisting with the coordination of client-contractor requests;
  • Preparing and delivering technical reports on time;
  • Undertaking design assessments, including stability and seepage analyses;
  • Preparation of technical deliverables such as proposals and reports;
  • Working with and providing support to other members of the group as required;
  • Working with other professionals in project teams;
  • Conducting general field and office assignments under supervision;
  • Undertaking site and QA/QC activities;
  • Identifying safety hazards and reporting OH&S incidents;
  • Completing inductions and pre-requisites as required;
  • Conducting all work to satisfy all company, client and government conditions, policies, procedures, regulations and standards, as required.

About you

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline;
  • Previous experience working on tailings/mine waste related projects locally or internationally, ideally in a consulting environment;
  • Basic analytical and problem-solving skills;
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills;
