Lead underground geomechanics for WSP on deep, high-stress and mass-mining projects, using numerical modelling and rock mass characterization expertise. International travel may be required.
As a Principal Rock Mechanics Engineer, you will provide senior technical leadership across studies, design and operating-mine support. Your work will address ground support, mining-induced seismicity and complex underground conditions. You will integrate geotechnical recommendations with mine layouts, infrastructure, sequencing and operational decisions. You will also mentor engineers and geoscientists while strengthening technical practices.
Key Responsibilities: Lead underground rock mechanics and geotechnical studies
Develop criteria for excavations, infrastructure and production areas
Direct numerical modelling of stability,



stresses and ground response
Assess rockbursts, seismicity, spalling and squeezing conditions
Guide support systems, monitoring and ground control plans
Requirements: Bachelor's degree in engineering or related discipline
Significant underground mining rock mechanics experience
Expertise in deep, high-stress environments and ground support
Advanced FLAC3D or equivalent modelling capability
Ability to lead assignments and communicate geotechnical risk
Bring technical leadership, practical judgment and numerical modelling expertise to WSP's complex underground mining projects worldwide.
