2024-01-31Rock Engineer with distinct numerical modelling skills to the Kiruna Mine

About the position
Mining in the Kiruna mine is moving towards greater depths, which brings increased challenges of different kind. From a rock engineering perspective, it is of paramount importance to identify hazards and and options for all planning and implementation phases thus enabling safe mine operations and reliable production forecasts. This is based on sound orebody knowledge and examining the operation holistically. Close integration with planning and operations is maintained to achieve this mission.
The Rock Engineering section consists of an operational group and an analysis / strategy group that is organized in an agile way with so-called focus areas with technical leaders (function-based work). Employees are included - based on their skills - in several focus areas and adjustments are made as needed. The section is characterized by great diversity in every way.
Specifically, the tasks include participation in the internal work on a geotechnically optimised mine design. The work includes amongst others numerical model analyses of different scenarios (short - long-term), field visits with operational rock engineers to check and validate results, presentations, and reporting.

Your qualifications
You are required a strong interest in identifying and overcoming the challenges inherent to deep, bulk underground mining. Qualities fundamental to this job is a passion for technology and problem-solving, a strong interest in suggesting and testing new solutions, and good analytical abilities.
Specifically, you should be well experienced (minimum 3 years) with geotechnical numerical analysis for mining applications in the Itasca software, FLAC 3D, 3DEC. This could include the analysis of different mine layout/sequence to minimise seismicity, rock support, cave propagation, mining-induced surface deformations, precondition techniques etc.
Higher academic education and industrial experience (Geotechnical Engineer, Mining Engineer, Civil Engineer, Rock Mechanics Engineer, Geomechanics Engineer, or in a related position) is of great importance. Demonstrated ability to use mine planning software and specialized geotechnical and seismic software (such as Deswik and mXrap) is advantageous.
A driver's licence is a requirement for this position (equivalent of a Swedish B-licence).
