Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and mentor the next generation of modelers while pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

Your Impact

• Lead the development and calibration of 2D and 3D numerical models using finite element, finite difference, and distinct element methods.
• Deliver geomechanical insights that guide excavation design, ground support strategies, and stability evaluations.
• Integrate geological and structural data into simulations to enhance model accuracy and reliability.
• Evaluate modeling approaches, limitations, and uncertainties to support informed decision-making.
• Mentor junior and intermediate staff, fostering technical growth and innovation in modeling practices.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Hold an advanced degree (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) in Rock Mechanics, Mining, or Computational Modeling.
• Bring 6+ years of hands-on experience applying numerical models to complex ground conditions in mining or civil projects.
• Proficient in FLAC3D, 3DEC, UDEC, RS2/RS3, or similar modeling software.
• Skilled in continuum and discontinuum mechanics, with a passion for solving real-world geotechnical challenges.
• Experience with probabilistic modeling, geological uncertainty, and scripting tools like Python or Fish is a plus.
• Known for thought leadership through publications, technical presentations, or innovative modeling approaches.
