• Integrate borehole logs, CPT/CPTu results, laboratory data, monitoring information and geophysical

datasets into geological models.

• Undertake structural interpretation of discontinuities, faults, shear zones, bedding, foliation and other

geological features relevant to engineering performance.

• Develop geological domains and material models for use in seepage, stability, stress-deformation and

other numerical modelling studies.

• Communicate geological uncertainty, data limitations and model assumptions clearly to multidisciplinary

project teams.

• Prepare high-quality geological plans, sections, model outputs, technical reports and interpretation

memoranda.

• Compile, review, clean and validate geological, geotechnical and spatial datasets before modelling.
• Build conceptual and three-dimensional engineering geological models for tailings storage facilities and

mining infrastructure.

• Delineate bedrock surfaces, weathering profiles, stratigraphic units, paleochannels, structural features

and engineering geological domains.

• Create and manage OpenGround Cloud projects, including data import, validation, standardization,

permissions, outputs and integration with Leapfrog.

• Prepare geological database structures, data dictionaries, validation rules and QA/QC records to support

traceability and reliable model updates.

• Interpret drill core and borehole records, geological mapping, structural measurements, CPT data,

laboratory results and geophysical information.

• Generate representative sections, surfaces, volumes and parameter domains for numerical modelling

teams.

• Work with numerical modellers to confirm that geological geometry, material boundaries, parameter

zones and structural controls are transferred correctly.

• Update models efficiently as new investigation or monitoring data become available and maintain clear

version control.

• Complete assigned work in accordance with agreed scope, schedule, budget, quality and health and

safety requirements.

Tailings Dam and Numerical Modelling Support

• Provide engineering geological input to tailings dam investigations, design assessments, reviews and

closure studies.

• Develop ground models that support seepage, slope stability, deformation, liquefaction and foundation

assessments.

• Identify geological and structural conditions that may influence seepage pathways, foundation

performance, stability or deformation behaviour.

• Support derivation and spatial assignment of material units and engineering parameters in collaboration

with geotechnical engineers.

• Review numerical model geometry against geological interpretations and document key assumptions,

simplifications and uncertainties.

• Assist with interpretation of modelling outcomes where geological conditions influence predicted

performance.

Project Delivery and Collaboration

• Work as part of integrated Global Mining teams and coordinate inputs with tailings, geotechnical, mine

engineering, hydrogeology, mine water and environmental disciplines.

• Participate in technical reviews, model reviews, investigation planning, risk workshops and project

meetings.

• Prepare technical deliverables suitable for internal review and client issue.
• Support proposals, scope development, task estimates and work planning for engineering geology

assignments.

• Provide coaching and task-level review for graduate and junior geologists and engineering geologists.
• Contribute to standard workflows, templates, model governance, lessons learned and capability

development within GCC India.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering Geology, Geological Engineering, Geology or a related

discipline.

geotechnical consulting.

• Demonstrated experience developing engineering geological or ground models using Leapfrog.
• Experience managing geological or geotechnical databases, preferably using OpenGround Cloud.
• Experience supporting tailings dam or mine infrastructure projects.
• Strong capability in structural geological interpretation and integration of multidisciplinary ground

investigation data.

• Understanding of how engineering geological models support seepage, stability, deformation and

liquefaction analyses.

• Strong data-management, QA/QC, analytical, technical writing and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams.

Software Skills

• Leapfrog Works and/or Leapfrog Geo
• OpenGround Cloud
• ArcGIS / ArcGIS Pro and/or QGIS
• AutoCAD
• Microsoft Excel and Power BI
