Principal Underground Rock Mechanics Engineer

Lead underground rock mechanics for WSP, applying numerical modelling and geotechnical design expertise to deep, high-stress mining projects internationally.As Principal Rock Mechanics Engineer, you will provide senior technical leadership across studies, detailed design, and operating-mine support. Your work will cover underground geomechanics, rock mass characterization, ground support, and mining-induced seismicity. You will integrate geotechnical recommendations into mine layouts, infrastructure, sequencing, and operations.Key Responsibilities:
Lead rock mechanics studies for deep, high-stress, and mass-mining projectsDevelop criteria for excavations, infrastructure, development, and production areasDirect numerical modelling of stability, sequencing, subsidence, and ground responseAssess rockburst, seismicity, spalling, squeezing, and brittle rock behaviourGuide support systems, monitoring, rehabilitation, and Ground Control Management PlansRequirements:
Bachelor's degree in mining, geological, geotechnical, or civil engineeringSignificant underground mining rock mechanics or geotechnical engineering experienceExpertise in deep, high-stress environments and ground-support designAdvanced FLAC3D or equivalent numerical modelling capabilityWillingness to travel internationally to mines and client locationsApply technical depth and leadership across underground geomechanics, modelling, ground support, and seismicity with WSP.
