All Magna Mining team members are expected to work collaboratively with others, lead the way in health and safety, act with honesty and integrity, and foster an entrepreneurial spirit in pursuit of excellence.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Provide geotechnical engineering support to site Engineering teams across all aspects of rock mechanics and excavation stability.
• Work with long-term and strategic planning teams to establish geotechnical guidelines and incorporate them into life-of-mine plans and studies.
• Develop internal rock mechanics best practices and support site teams in incorporating them into mine designs.
• Oversee geotechnical investigation programs, structural geology assessments, and data interpretation.
• Conduct or coordinate third-party numerical modelling and analysis for new mining areas, extraction techniques, and changing site conditions.
• Identify, assess, and communicate geotechnical risks and recommend appropriate controls and mitigation measures.
• Complete regular Critical Control Verifications to ensure as-built conditions align with design and QA/QC systems are functioning as intended.
• Mentor junior Engineers and promote geotechnical best practices.
• Work with Safety & Training to ensure ground control training programs are technically accurate and effective.
• Conduct internal audits of site records and practices to support regulatory compliance and technical due diligence.
