Vancouver

Are you looking for an opportunity to
  • Make a meaningful difference and leave a positive impact on the environment?
  • Work in a close-knit group of like-minded, motivated professionals where relationships matter?
  • Continue the development of your critical thinking skills?
  • Solve some of the most complex problems faced by the mining industry?
  • Work on a mix of local and global projects?
What makes us stand out?

KCB is an employee-owned mid-size consultancy with a reputation that exceeds our size. Our tag line Down to Earth / Up to the Challenge says a lot about who we are. Our staff are inquisitive, curious, and dedicated to solving complex problems. Our size allows us to draw on colleagues across the globe just as easily as if they were across the hall. We also advocate for continued professional development and encourage this by hosting a range of internal and external training sessions and encouraging staff to participate in conferences. In broad terms we think KCB's differentiators are our:
  • size - large enough to win intriguing projects, small enough for the President and CEO to know you by name
  • creative perspectives that come through diverse and inclusive teams
  • access to some of the sectors leading talent
  • international reputation for technical excellence, everyone maintains a technical focus
  • appetite to tackle problems with unique complexities

What you would engage in:

Our focus is on the application of critical thinking to the management of mine waste and water. If continuing your career journey with us, you would be part of our Mining Environmental Group, based out of our Vancouver or Nanaimo office. The role of Senior Geotechnical Engineer will provide you with the opportunity to:
  • Engage with clients, colleagues, and suppliers on geotechnical focused field programs and design solutions
  • Lead teams focused on civil / geotechnical designs for mine waste projects
  • Collaborate within multi-disciplinary project teams for the delivery of mine waste projects
  • Participate in dam safety inspections, dam safety reviews, and the development of dam safety systems
  • Guide, mentor, and train more junior staff in your area(s) of expertise
  • Build client rapport as projects progress from feasibility through to mine closure
  • Coordinate with other engineering disciplines to develop well rounded solutions for clients
  • Prepare technical reports, proposals, and other project specific documentation
What we are looking for:

We are looking for a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to join our Vancouver-based engineering team to work on local and international mining and resource projects. Your experience will be applied to the planning, investigation, assessment, design and construction of tailings and water dams and waste storage for mining clients. Career development can be managed to support personal preferences such as niche, technical design specialists, or project participation in both technical dam engineering scopes and project management, or all-round dam engineering specialists, such as the responsible persons or Engineers of Record.

What we require:

We respect the knowledge and experience you have gained to date and are willing to support you as you build on it. We do however require:
  • A degree in civil or geotechnical engineering: a master's degree is considered an asset
  • 10+ years' experience in civil or geotechnical related projects (preferably for mining or related industries), with a track record of continued development
  • You must be eligible to register as professional engineer in Canada
  • Experience in geohazard engineering, assessments, investigations, design, tendering and construction administration
  • Working knowledge of geotechnical software packages including PLAXIS, FLAC, and SLOPE/W
  • General understanding of mining-related regulations and industry best practices
  • Passion for collaborating with clients and fostering long-term relationships
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
  • Enhanced communication skills, which should include experience in writing proposals, technical reports, and general project correspondence
  • Experience in a safety focused environment with near miss and incident reporting requirements
You will excel in our team if you have:
  • An ability to find creative solutions and know how to present them.
  • A willingness to mentor others and be mentored.
  • An ability to build rapport with clients, colleagues, and industry partners.
  • Demonstrate that you are flexible and seek solutions rather than focus on problems.
  • A willingness to travel and undertake fieldwork.
  • A proven ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
The salary for this position is $110,000 to $160,000 per year. Salary is based on applicable experience, education, and skill level.

Along with continued career development, KCB offers:
  • Hybrid work opportunities
  • Annual performance and salary review
  • PSMJ's supported track record of profitability, leading to above average bonus payouts
  • Vacation policy that aligns to your experience
  • Paid OT, and wellness days
  • Flexible benefits, including RSP, social, and mental well-being initiatives
  • Dedication to WEF's Four Pillars of Environment Social Governance framework, Governance, People, Planet and Prosperity
We are a global organization committed developing a respectful workplace founded on the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We strive to be a workplace where our employees, clients, and the communities in the regions we operate, feel valued and are treated equitable. We respect the uniqueness that makes you, you.

We encourage applications from all qualified career seekers, regardless of gender, sex, religion, or nationality. We offer professional career development tracks and salaries commensurate with experience and an attractive benefits package and thank all candidates for applying; however, only short-listed candidates will be contacted for an interview.
