Role
What you would be doing
geotechnical analysis
tailings design
study review
instrumentation monitoring
field investigation
proposal development
Support the team in identifying and solving geotechnical issues. A common example for a practitioner with geotechnical engineering background is to have a reasoned insight of settlements, liquefaction potential, slope stabilization, pore pressure generation, excavation and backfilling procedures, and related problems.
Carry out a tailings storage facility design project by completing and/or guiding the required geotechnical engineering analysis and coordinating a multi-discipline team. The study level can range from conceptual, pre-feasibility, feasibility, detailed engineering or construction.
Prepare and review trade-off studies, feasibility to detailed engineering studies, engineering reports, drawings and specifications for mine waste disposal.
Provide guidance and mentorship to junior and intermediate engineers
Develop and manage geotechnical instrumentation monitoring programs.
Develop and manage field and laboratory investigation programs to support the design of tailings storage facilities.
Collaborate on exciting projects to develop innovative solutions
Prepare and review proposals including cost estimates using Hatch’s internal proposal software system
