You will gain exposure to a variety of project types, work with clients locally and internationally, participate in site visits and field investigations, and get hands-on experience in our laboratory.
Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will evolve as you develop your experience and may include:
-
Assist with engineering calculations, mass balances, equipment selection, preliminary layouts, technical drawings, and preparation of engineering reportsand deliverables.
-
Participate in laboratory testing programs involving tailings, backfill materials, and aggregates, gaining hands-on experience with material characterization, testing procedures, and interpretation of results.
-
Work alongside different project teams and technical disciplines, developing an understanding of how mining, process, mechanical, civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering scopes come together to deliver successful projects.
-
Participate in site visits, field investigations, and client engagements, gaining practical exposure to operating mines, project infrastructure, and engineering challenges both locally and internationally.
