Position Summary
THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Horizon Oil Sands mine began operations in 2009 - this is a young mine with barrels and barrels of potential for you to make your mark! This is an exciting opportunity to be involved with a world class integrated oil sands mine and bitumen upgrading operation. Due to the massive resource base, the mine and plant facilities are expected to produce for decades to come without production declines normally associated with crude oil production.
As part of this technically challenging role, the Geotechnical Design Engineer will be exposed to a wide range of responsibilities including the preparation of designs, implementing plans for the construction of earthwork structures and management of design projects.
HOW WILL YOU MAKE YOUR MARK?
Contribute your geotechnical expertise to the mining operation at Horizon Oil Sands in the following areas:
* Evaluate geologic conditions and geotechnical characteristics for assessment and design of earth structures and pit-wall slopes
* Perform slope stability and seepage analyses as necessary to establish safe slope design
* Prepare detailed engineering reports and memos documenting analyses and recommendations
* Present results to mine planners, operations staff, senior management, and technical reviewers
* Plan and supervise field investigations
* Evaluate borrow suitability for earthwork construction
* Plan, implement and assess instrumentation programs to monitor performance of earth structures and pit-wall slopes
HEALTH AND SAFETY:
At Canadian Natural, safety is a core value. We conduct all of our operations in a way that identifies, minimizes and mitigates harm to the health and safety of employees, contractors, the public and the environment.
