LKAB works on one of the major exploration campaigns worldwide to expand the life of our business beyond 2060. The focus is the continuation at depth of our current orebodies which means mining towards 2000m. The challenges associated with mining at greater depths require an extremely good knowledge and characterization of the rock mass prior to any mine design.
We are now looking for experienced geotechnical geologists or rock mechanics engineers to accurately characterize our rock mass and continue to develop our geotechnical block model.
The main tasks comprise:
• Create a 3D geotechnical block model for both the orebody and side rock.
• Establish common criteria with the exploration, mine, and engineering departments on geotechnical issues.
• Supervision of core logging of geotechnical features, simultaneously with the ore resource geologists. Introducing data into Leapfrog and review of existing datasets.
• Ensure that the geotechnical data collection is adequately done, is standardized, and with QA/QC.
• Planning and follow-up of dedicated geotechnical drilling programs.
• Liaise with mine geologists and structural geologists.
The position is within the Mining Technology Department.
You will be based in Kiruna. Travel between different mine sites will be part of the job.
Qualifications
Besides a relevant university degree you must have at least 5 years of relevant experience in geotechnical mapping and core logging, good observational skills for rock mass characterization and knowledge of geotechnical classification systems (Q-system, RMR, MRMR), ability to review large datasets and 3D modelling expertise.
You are encouraged to have a well-developed ability to cooperate, excellent communication skills, experience in informal leadership roles and adhere to LKAB:s code of conduct. A systematic, structured, and self-motivated attitude is required for this role.
To express yourself well in written and spoken English and/or Swedish is essential.
