About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • At least 15 years of experience in civil engineering and design, preferably on mining, tailings, geotechnical, water-management, or major earthworks projects.
  • Significant professional experience producing civil and geotechnical designs, 3D models, and construction drawings, preferably for tailings dams, tailings storage facility infrastructure, mine-water management systems, or related mining and earthworks projects.
  • Experience leading design and drafting teams on complex, multidisciplinary projects from concept through construction.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and 3D modeling and design software, particularly Civil 3D, and experience with tools such as Global Mapper, Muk3D, ArcGIS, or comparable platforms for developing tailings storage facility models and construction drawings.
  • Ability to work in French and English to support clients, projects, and teams in different regions.
  • Bilingual proficiency in spoken and written French and English.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with design engineers and multidisciplinary project teams to evaluate design options, resolve spatial conflicts, optimize constructability, and ensure models, plans, and details meet quality standards and current industry practices.
  • Develop coordinated 3D designs and models for tailings dams and other tailings storage facility infrastructure, including embankments, raises, decant systems, access roads, drainage works, surface-water management systems, and related earthworks, in accordance with established design criteria and procedures.
  • Develop and refine grading surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, quantities, and other model outputs to support planning, feasibility studies, detailed design, construction, and rehabilitation of tailings management facilities and geotechnical infrastructure.
  • Translate engineering concepts, calculations, criteria, and technical requirements into coordinated, constructible 3D designs.
  • Produce construction plans, drawings, sections, details, and design documents directly from coordinated 3D models, ensuring consistency among modeled geometry, engineering requirements, and issued deliverables.
  • Develop earthworks and material quantity estimates from 3D models to support alternatives assessment, engineering studies, cost estimates, and construction planning.
  • Perform quality checks on 3D models and construction drawings to confirm compliance with technical specifications, design intent, drafting standards, applicable codes, and project requirements.
  • Compile, interpret, and integrate survey, topographic, bathymetric, GIS, geotechnical, and existing design data into reliable base models and design surfaces to support engineering decisions and construction documentation.
  • Develop civil engineering solutions for tailings storage facilities and related mine infrastructure, including embankments, raises, tailings deposition areas, ponds, surface-water management systems, drainage infrastructure, access roads, platforms, and other earthworks.
  • Contribute to engineering projects at all stages, including planning, alternatives assessment, feasibility studies, detailed design, construction, and rehabilitation or closure.
  • Develop and evaluate design solutions considering technical performance, constructability, site constraints, environmental considerations, quantities, costs, and project risks.
  • Develop design criteria, engineering assumptions, layouts, quantities, and technical recommendations in collaboration with geotechnical, hydrotechnical, environmental, structural, and construction specialists.
  • Perform engineering calculations and technical assessments relating to grading, earthworks, cut and fill volumes, storage capacity, drainage, road geometry, water-management infrastructure, and other civil works.
  • Prepare and contribute to design reports, technical memoranda, calculations, design criteria, specifications, cost estimates, and other engineering deliverables.
  • Participate in design reviews, constructability analyses, risk assessments, and value-engineering exercises, and contribute to resolving technical issues throughout project delivery.
  • Support engineering activities during construction by responding to technical questions, assessing field conditions and design changes, and contributing to resolution of technical issues.
  • Plan and deliver assigned engineering and design activities in accordance with project scope, schedule, budget, and quality requirements.
  • Coordinate engineering contributions and design interfaces with multidisciplinary project teams to support integrated, consistent deliverables.
  • Promote integration of engineering and design activities so that 3D models and drawings accurately represent design bases, technical requirements, and construction intent.
  • Support project managers and technical leads in defining scopes of work, estimating effort, preparing schedules, tracking progress, and managing changes affecting engineering and design deliverables.
  • Communicate design progress, technical constraints, risks, and required decisions clearly and promptly.
  • Participate in internal and client design reviews, and incorporate review feedback into engineering documents, models, and drawings.
  • Identify technical uncertainties, data gaps, design interfaces, and constructability issues early in the design process and contribute to resolving them.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in the design and construction of tailings management facilities, ideally in an environmental consulting context.
  • Experience on mining, tailings, geotechnical, water-management, or major earthworks projects.
