    Description

    Closing: March 29, 2024

    Reporting to the Manager, Geotechnical & Water, the Senior Engineer, Tailings & Mine Waste will support the geotechnical needs and run geotechnical projects at Teck's Legacy Properties. The scope includes tailings and water retaining structures, as well as waste rock dumps, at closed mine sites in Canada (with a focus on BC sites). This role is primarily based out of Kimberley, BC; however, flexibility in terms of location is possible.

    This position is suitable for someone who enjoys working outdoors and is willing to travel to sites within Canada. It is critical that the successful candidate wholly embraces Teck's health and safety culture and at no time puts safety as a secondary priority in any work undertaken.

    This is a 2-year contract position with the possibility of extension or transition into a full-time role.

    Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities:

  • Be a courageous safety leader, adhere to and sponsor safety and environmental rules and procedures
  • Stay ahead of geotechnical surveillance technology and recommend maintenance and upgrade to supervision programs based on that knowledge
  • Lead all aspects of site(s) tailings governance programs, including instrumentation data and visual inspections
  • Act as Responsible Tailings Facility Engineer at closed tailings facilities in Canada
  • Provide technical mentorship and apply expertise with regard to tailings and water-retaining structures
  • Coordinate and review work by external geotechnical consultants
  • Participate in dam safety inspections and reviews, Independent Tailings Review Board reviews and Corporate governance reviews
  • Coordinate internal reviews and engage with internal Teck senior expertise in a proactive manner
  • Assist in the identification, mitigation and reduction of geotechnical hazards and risks
  • Conduct geotechnical inspections as the need arises
  • Implement recommendations from geotechnical inspections, reviews and audits
  • Participate in dialogue with Communities of Interest (regulators, Indigenous peoples, communities, etc.) with respect to risk evaluations, emergency preparedness and responses, and risk mitigation projects
  • Lead all aspects of short- and long-term projects related to geotechnical structures, including supervision of consultants and contractors
  • Participate in annual tailings emergency response exercises and risk assessment workshops
  • Assist with the implementation of Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) objectives for all tailings facilities, and ensure commitments are maintained

    Qualifications:

  • At least 8 years of relevant and dynamic geotechnical experience, including a recent geotechnical role at an operating mine with responsibilities for tailings and water retaining structures
  • Bachelor's degree in Geotechnical, Geological, Civil, Environmental, or Mining Engineering, preferably with a specialization in Geotechnical Engineering. A Master's Degree in engineering is considered an asset
  • Eligible or registered as a Professional Engineer with the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (EGBC)
  • Experience in geotechnical data analysis, dam safety inspections, geotechnical drilling programs, and project management
  • Experience with sophisticated surveillance methods, inclusive of remote sensing, will be considered an asset
  • A results-oriented individual with outstanding organizational, research, planning, writing and communication skills
  • Keen to take initiative, act proactively to anticipate needs, and work independently and in a team environment. Ability to prioritize and handle time effectively
  • Solid understanding of Microsoft Office, GeoExplorer, AutoCAD, various stability and seepage packages, FLAC or similar and GIS software
  • A valid driver's licence
  • Knowledge of BC's Health, Safety and Reclamation Code is an asset
