Our mining and metals teams help our clients to safely and sustainably mine the minerals and metals used in our everyday lives. Want to play a part of innovating and optimizing the mining life cycle on greenfield and brownfield facilities? Apply today! Hatch is committed to providing a complete array of engineering services to the mining and metals sector. Mine waste and mine closure management, together with mine water management, is an ever-increasingly complex subject for the industry. Hatch employs an integrated approach from the moment mine waste is generated to the point where it needs to be finally contained. This is done by considering all mining aspects including dewatering processes, transport and storage components, and the closure design of mine waste and refining residue facilities. In doing so, we are dedicated to projecting a holistic vision to tailings and mine and metallurgical waste streams management. We do this by finding the most integrated and innovative solutions to de-risk the industry. We build strong teams. As such, we will continue to look for innovative solutions, bringing together geotechnical, hydrotechnical, process engineers, geochemists practitioners, and other SMEs into the tailings practice, all with a clear and dedicated focus to find ways to manage, reduce, and/or repurpose tailings and mine waste. The Tailings, Mine Waste and Mine Closure (Tailings) Practice group at Hatch is seeking to hire a Senior level, Geotechnical Engineer background to become a practitioner in the field and part of our expanding team in Pittsburgh, PA. This role would suit a highly motivated professional with a strong technical focus, who is interested in supporting the development of the practice and expanding the capability within the North American cluster of an existing multidisciplinary practice group of specialists in tailings and mine waste management field made of geotechnical, hydrotechnical, mining, geoscientists, and process engineers around the world. Reporting will be to one of the Tailings Practice Leads in Canada, which in turn report to the Global Practice Director in the Tailings Practice. Key Responsibilities: Carry out a tailings storage facility design project by completing and/or guiding the required geotechnical engineering analysis and coordinating a multi-discipline team. The study level can range from conceptual, pre-feasibility, feasibility, detailed engineering or construction. Prepare and review trade-off studies, feasibility to detailed engineering studies, engineering reports, drawings and specifications for mine waste disposal. Support the team in identifying and solving geotechnical issues. A common example for a practitioner with geotechnical engineering background is to have a reasoned insight of settlements, liquefaction potential, slope stabilization, pore pressure generation, excavation and backfilling procedures, and related problems. Be able to carry out slope stability and seepage analysis and understand contractive (liquefaction) behavior under static and earthquake loading scenarios. Proficient in geotechnical modeling software, such as SLOPE/W, SEEP/W and SIGMA/W. Support the team in coordinating geotechnical models of tailings storage facilities, especially with limit equilibrium and dynamic deformation under a variety of loading conditions. Develop and manage field and laboratory investigation programs to support the design of tailings storage facilities. Develop and manage geotechnical instrumentation monitoring programs. Support field operations through supervision, troubleshooting and monitoring. A practitioner with geotechnical engineering background would require experience in drilling, carrying out and understanding in situ tests, piezocone soundings, reconnaissance trenches, as well as tailings storage facility construction, subgrade compaction assessment, and installation of geosynthetics, etc. Prepare and review proposals including cost estimates using Hatch's internal proposal software system Provide guidance and mentorship to junior and intermediate engineers Qualifications and Experience: Bachelor degree(s) in Civil, Geological, or Mining engineering and/or post-graduate in Geotechnical Engineering from an accredited University.
