Supervisor Geotechnical, Red Chris Block Cave

Red Chris is a gold and copper mine located in the Tahltan Territory, northern British Columbia. The mine has been in operation since 2015 and has been operated by Newmont since 2023. It is now transitioning from open pit to underground block caving-an innovative method that extends mine life while reducing environmental impact. This transition will create new, technically advanced roles and opportunities to work alongside global experts. We are committed to partnering with the Tahltan Nation and local communities, ensuring the project delivers long-term social, environmental, and economic benefits.

In this role, you will play a critical part in supporting safe, stable, and efficient underground mining operations. Your contributions will directly influence ground stability, risk management, and compliance with geotechnical standards during a major operational transition.

You will help ensure geotechnical risks are identified, assessed, mitigated, and continuously monitored, supporting the long-term success and sustainability of the Red Chris operation.

• Oversee geotechnical activities to ensure ground stability and compliance with internal and regulatory standards
• Collaborate closely with Technical Services, Mining, and Operations teams, and the Newmont Corporate Geotechnical team.
• Conduct geotechnical assessments and risk evaluations for underground and surface works (box-cut portal)
• Review and assess mine designs to ensure geotechnical integrity
• Collect, analyze, and interpret geotechnical data and monitoring results
• Prepare clear, accurate geotechnical reports and technical recommendations
• Optimize geotechnical systems and processes, with a focus on efficiency and scalability
• Support quality control processes in line with Newmont standards
• Provide technical guidance, direction and leadership to junior geotechnical team members
• Oversee consultants and manage scope of work for budgetary and schedule compliance, e.g. design packages and core logging programs
