Supervisor Geotecnista

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Mexico.

📋 Description

• Provide technical support and oversee the proper application of geomechanical criteria in underground mining operations through continuous evaluation of the rock mass conditions.

• Monitor fortification systems and conduct geotechnical analyses to ensure the stability of excavations, the safety of personnel, and operational continuity.

• Conduct geotechnical inspections in underground workings to assess the stability of the rock mass.

• Perform and update geomechanical and geological logging using methodologies such as RQD, RMR, Q-System, and GSI.

• Assist in the development, updating, and validation of geomechanical models for the mine.

• Supervise the correct installation and quality of fortification systems (rock bolts, cables, mesh, and shotcrete) in the field.

• Identify critical geotechnical conditions and promptly communicate risks to the Senior Geotechnical Engineer and operational areas.

• Participate in the stability analysis of excavations and propose preventive and corrective actions.

• Follow up on geotechnical instrumentation (extensometers, load cells, convergence monitoring, and other equipment).

• Prepare technical reports, geomechanical maps, and inspection reports.

• Collaborate with the Planning, Operations, Engineering, and Safety departments to ensure geomechanical criteria are considered during the development and exploitation of the mine.

• Verify compliance with safety standards, internal procedures, and applicable regulations.

• Participate in training and technical advice for operational personnel on best practices in geomechanics and fortification.

• Support the Senior Geotechnical Engineer in special continuous improvement projects related to the geomechanical stability of operations.
