Senior Tailings Engineer - ( 2600003L )

Description

About the role

Our established Geosciences team delivers first-class geotechnical engineering services across a wide range of investigation and analysis techniques. Within this group, our Mine Tailings team brings together specialists across six continents, offering global expertise across all phases of tailings management – from concept and design through to operation, monitoring and closure.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Tailings Engineer to join our Brisbane-based team. This is a key technical and project leadership role, providing opportunities to lead complex tailings projects, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical excellence across the business. Flexible working arrangements are available, including work from home options, staggered hours, purchased leave and other flexibility options.

Day-to-day tasks would involve:

Lead and contribute to tailings storage facility (TSF) and mine waste landform projects across the full mining lifecycle, including planning, design, execution, operations, monitoring, and closure.
Provide senior‑level technical input across tailings and mine waste management, including geotechnical characterisation, slope stability, seismic deformation and liquefaction analyses, seismic hazard assessments, seepage, and foundation behaviour of dams and tailings storage facilities.
Take responsibility for project technical governance, managing scope, budgets, schedules, and delivery outcomes.
Delegate and coordinate technical tasks across project teams and to junior engineers, balancing workloads to support project delivery, quality outcomes, and team development.
Support business development through project scoping, proposal input, and client engagement.
Ensure all work meets internal quality standards, industry best practice, and client requirements.
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, mechanical and process engineers, environmental scientists, field teams, and laboratories.
Apply sound professional judgement, data interpretation, and engineering analysis to deliver practical, risk‑informed, and commercially sound solutions.
Review and author high‑quality technical reports and design documentation.
Mentor and support the development of junior and intermediate engineers.
Demonstrate a strong commitment to SaferTogether, prioritising health and safety at all times.

To be successful for this role you’ll need:

Tertiary qualifications in Geotechnical, Geology or Civil Engineering.
Chartered Engineer status (RPEQ and/or CPEng).
8 years’ experience in geotechnical engineering with significant exposure to tailings and/or mine waste projects.
Demonstrated experience leading or strongly influencing geotechnical design and delivery on complex projects.
A strong client focus, with the ability to manage relationships and deliver to agreed outcomes.
Excellent technical writing, communication, and review skills.
A current driver’s licence and willingness to travel to remote project sites as required.
