Summary
The person in this position will work on multi-discipline project teams providing mine related geotechnical engineering analysis and designs involving shallow and deep foundations, mine and pit wall slope stability studies, seepage, bearing capacity, settlement, pavements, and earth retention. This position will include performing geotechnical computer modeling, specifying and interpreting soil and rock investigations and overseeing on-site and in-laboratory material testing. Projects will focus on geotechnical design and analysis for projects involving both ferrous and nonferrous minerals including iron ore, taconite, silica sand, and coal, which will include the preparation of plans and specifications (including CADD work), writing reports, and cost estimating. The position will include field work such as construction observation, subsurface investigations, in-situ testing, surveying, materials testing, and assisting in project management for scope, schedule and budget compliance.
