•Consult on projects in North America and internationally, requiring occasional travel.
•Support assignments primarily including hydrologic and hydraulic engineering work related to the mining industry.
•Manage the performance of surface water control facility designs, including hydrologic analysis for peak flow determination and hydraulic analysis of flood control design measures.
•Lead and direct staff engineers to perform project work and to carry out project work directly.
•Facilitate proposal preparation, project management and execution, and development of deliverable reports and detailed engineering plan sets.
•Perform Civil 3D grading and design of heap leach pad facilities and tailings impoundments and occasionally roadways.
•Conduct mine water management system analysis via water balance modeling, hydrometeorological analysis, hydraulic design of pressure flow pipelines, and tailings facility dam breach and inundation studies.
•Other duties as assigned.
•Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, or closely related discipline.
•Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Nevada preferrable, or willing to obtain reciprocity in State of Nevada.
•At least ten (10) years of professional experience.
•Considerable experience and proficiency with the following:
+ Site plan design and Civil 3D grading.
+ Facility layout and optimization including volumetric calculations for large earth or rock facilities.
