About the role

This role is suited for an engineer who combines practical mining or geotechnical experience, hands-on numerical modeling, and sound engineering judgment.
You will join an integrated North American consulting team working across geomechanics, hydrogeology, engineering geology, and advanced numerical analysis.
Why this role matters Mining projects depend on sound geomechanics decisions.

Develop and interpret numerical models for mining geomechanics applications.
Collaborate with ITASCA engineers across North America and internationally.
You should be comfortable developing and interpreting models, while also connecting results to site conditions, monitoring data, operational constraints, and practical client decisions.
These decisions influence safety, risk, mine design, sequencing, operations, and long-term performance.
Your work will help clients move from uncertainty to action, providing the technical insight and practical judgment needed to make decisions that matter in active and developing mining operations.
Demonstrated experience developing, running, and interpreting numerical models for geomechanical applications.
Ability to manage technical work independently and deliver high-quality work on schedule and budget.

Minimum 8 years of experience in mining geomechanics, rock mechanics, or related geotechnical consulting.
Strong understanding of rock mass characterization and behavior, excavation and slope stability, and ground control.
Ability to translate modeling results into practical engineering recommendations.
Strongly valued Mine-site or operational experience in open pit and/or underground mining.
Experience integrating field observations, monitoring data, geology, mine planning information, and numerical modeling results.
Experience with ITASCA software, such as FLAC3D, 3DEC, UDEC, etc.
Experience presenting technical findings to clients or mine operations teams.
Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading technical tasks.
Why ITASCA For more than 45 years, ITASCA has helped clients solve complex geomechanics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology challenges through a combination of technical depth, practical judgment, and innovation.
Our work combines site experience, engineering interpretation, advanced numerical modeling, and state-of-the-art ITASCA software to help clients make better decisions.

Required Bachelor's degree in mining engineering, geological engineering, geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, rock mechanics, geomechanics, or a related field (advanced degree preferred).
