The role is accountable for geotechnical risk management, excavation stability assessments, ground support design and optimization, monitoring programs, and practical technical guidance to support safe and efficient mine development, production,



and life-of-mine planning; this includes updating relevant standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the ground control management plan (GCMP). Duties And Responsibilities
• Lead, mentor, and provide technical direction to the underground geotechnical team while promoting strong collaboration with the underground Mine Operations, Mine Planning, Geology, Survey, Ventilation, and external consultants, including the site’s Open Pit technical services staff.
• Own, maintain, and continuously improve the site’s GCMP, associated standards, including SOPs, trigger action response plans, and geotechnical risk controls.
• Conduct rock mass characterization, structural interpretation, kinematic analysis, and excavation stability assessments for underground development, stopes, pillars, brows, intersections, and rehabilitation areas.
• Complete and review empirical, analytical, and numerical rock mechanics assessments to support mine design, sequencing, ground support, and operational decision-making.
• Develop, review, implement, and optimize ground support and reinforcement designs for mine development, production excavations, rehabilitation, and any areas of elevated geotechnical risk.
• Provide timely geotechnical inspections, hazard assessments, technical recommendations, and documented follow-up for active underground headings and work areas.
• Design, manage, and interpret geotechnical monitoring programs and results, including instrumentation, seismic data, cavity monitoring surveys, convergence measurements, and observational data; summarize the findings and provide recommendations for next steps.
• Investigate ground falls, seismic events, support performance issues, and adverse ground conditions; identify contributing factors and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
• Perform advanced numerical modelling and specialist studies with external consultants, including defining scope, reviewing assumptions, validating outputs, and translating results into practical design criteria.
• Maintain and update the long-term rehabilitation and ground support replacement plan, including risk-based prioritization and integration with the mine schedule.
• Provide geotechnical and numerical modelling input to the life-of-mine sequencing, stope and development design, pillar design, mine infrastructure, backfill strategy, and mineral reserve assumptions.
• Support geotechnical data management, quality assurance, technical reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Evaluate and trial new ground support products, monitoring systems, software, and geotechnical technologies where they can improve safety, reliability, or productivity.
• Participate in operational planning meetings, risk assessments, technical reviews, and emergency response activities as required. Qualifications And Experience
