RockEng is an internationally renowned consulting team founded on expertise in rock mechanics, geomechanical engineering, and hydrogeology. We are a highly specialized consulting group, working all over the world for mines, mine projects, and civil construction works. RockEng is employee-owned and has been in business since 2010, with a very well-established global reputation for excellence in our areas of expertise.

 Motivated to grow our company, RockEng is seeking candidates within the discipline of engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and/or mining engineering.

The Senior Geomechanics Consultant supports the assessment and management of ground stability in underground and/or open pit mining operations. Working under the guidance of Principal level consultants, this role contributes to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geotechnical data to ensure safe, efficient, and economically viable mine designs. Key responsibilities include assisting with rock mass characterization, monitoring ground conditions, and evaluating slope or excavation stability using established geomechanical principles. The role involves fieldwork such as logging core, mapping structures, and installing or maintaining geotechnical instrumentation, as well as office-based analysis using specialized software.

 The Senior Geomechanics Consultant collaborates closely with mine planning, geology, and operations teams to support design recommendations, ground support strategies, and risk mitigation measures. A strong emphasis is placed on safety, continuous learning, and adherence to regulatory and company standards.

 This position is ideal for mid-career engineers seeking to develop technical expertise in rock mechanics, numerical modelling, and mine design within a practical, operations-focused environment.

 This position will be based in Kingston, ON or Sudbury, ON.

• Rock pillar design and stability evaluations

• Numerical modelling for geomechanics studies and designs

• Geotechnical studies for mine design and civil construction projects

• Conduct audits and inspections

• Support other technical disciplines, particularly as they may relate to hydrogeology, geology, and/or mining engineering.

• Participate in relevant internal and external stakeholder meetings and prepare progress reports as required.

• Apply competent use of engineering specific software programs, including two- and three-dimensional numerical methods modelling

• Draft reports and develop recommendations for client projects to senior management

• Contribute to technical oversight and mentoring of more junior employees

• Develop engineering work plans and relevant budgets

• Provide input to reporting writing, planning and analysis

3. Other Duties
