Duties
Conduct geotechnical investigations to determine the rock-mass, geological structures, and groundwater levels;
Analyse subsurface conditions to design underground infrastructures like tunnels, fix facilities and shafts;
Provide geotechnical assessment with recommendations to improve the efficiency and safety of mining operations;
Develop models for ground conditions and predict the impact on surrounding tunnels;
Perform risk analysis and propose mitigation strategies and identify potential geotechnical hazards such as ground deformation, fall of ground, potential inrush, pillar issue and poor ground conditions;
Develop and design appropriate support systems for excavation to achieve optimum safety factor;
Monitor ground movement and evaluate the support system to ensure stability;
Prepare and maintain geotechnical reports and documentation throughout the project lifecycle;
Troubleshoot unforeseen ground conditions and adjust designs or strategy as necessary;
Collaborate with operations team and any related stakeholders to achieve desirable design;
Conduct sharing of ground awareness and ground support system to the operations team periodically;
Perform other duties as assigned
