What you need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, or equivalent
  • 5 years’ experience in underground mining
  • Proficiency in geotechnical software (e.g., RocScience suite, Map3D, Leapfrog, Deswik)
  • Strong knowledge of rock mechanics, ground support design, and underground excavation stability
  • Good understanding of safety systems and statutory mine regulations

Nice to have

  • Professional registration (EIZ) as an Engineer is an advantage

Worth weighing

  • This position is only open to Zambian nationals
  • The role requires fieldwork with a minimum of one week of travel per year, which may be more for technical roles
  • It is a full-time contract role, which may imply less job security compared to permanent positions
