Numerical Modelling information

What is a numerical modelling?

A Numerical Modelling job involves developing and using mathematical models to simulate real-world systems and processes. This typically includes working with computational tools to analyze physical, engineering, or financial problems. Professionals in this role use numerical techniques to solve complex equations and predict outcomes. They often work in industries like engineering, climate science, finance, and aerospace. Strong programming skills and expertise in applied mathematics are essential for success in this field.

What does a numerical modelling do?

Professionals in Numerical Modelling typically spend their days designing, implementing, and troubleshooting mathematical models to simulate real-world phenomena or engineering systems. This often involves coding, running simulations, analyzing large datasets, and interpreting the results to inform decision-making. Collaborating with engineers, scientists, or project managers is common, as model outputs need to be integrated into broader projects or presented to non-technical stakeholders. Additionally, continuous learning and staying current with advanced modelling techniques and software updates are integral to remaining effective in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for numerical modelling?

To thrive in Numerical Modelling, you require a strong background in mathematics, physics, or engineering, coupled with proficiency in computational methods and data analysis. Experience with programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++, and familiarity with simulation software or relevant certifications in numerical analysis are typically important. Problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly are valuable soft skills in this field. These competencies are critical for developing accurate models, collaborating effectively with interdisciplinary teams, and delivering insights that inform real-world solutions.

Job description

The Opportunity

The Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for evaluating soil, rock, effects of

groundwater, and geologic conditions to ensure the safe and efficient design,

construction, and operation of mining projects. This role supports open-pit mines,

underground mines, tailings storage facilities, waste dumps, haul roads, and related

infrastructure by assessing ground stability and geotechnical risks.

Geotechnical Engineers work closely with mine planning, geology, operations,

environmental, and civil engineering teams to optimize mine safety, production, and

long-term stability.


Responsibilities

Conduct geotechnical investigations including drilling programs, rock and soil

sampling, laboratory testing, and field mapping.

Analyze rock mass behavior, slope stability, ground support requirements, and

soil mechanics.

Develop geotechnical models for open-pit and underground mining operations.

Perform advanced numerical modelling using FLAC3D and industry-leading

constitutive models to support complex geotechnical assessments.

Support stope sequencing, mine design optimization, and excavation stability

assessments.

Design and evaluate:

Stope dimensions and estimates of ore dilution and Equivalent Linear

Overbreak Slough (ELOS)

Underground ground support systems

Pit slopes and bench configurations

Waste rock dumps

Tailings storage facilities

Use geotechnical software for modeling and stability analysis including advanced

numerical modelling approaches.

Support and contribute to Ground Control Management Plans (GCMPs), TARPs,

and geotechnical risk management processes.

Monitor ground conditions using instrumentation such as prisms, piezometers,

extensometers, and radar systems.

Interpret and manage geotechnical monitoring data, including prism,

MPBX/extensometer, radar, and other instrumentation outputs.

Identify geotechnical hazards including slope failures, rockfalls, subsidence, and

seismic risks.

Develop mitigation plans and emergency response recommendations.

Perform inspections and prepare stability assessments and technical reports.

Provide day-to-day geotechnical guidance to mine operations teams.

Work closely with operations teams to develop practical and implementable

geotechnical solutions.

Recommend operational changes to improve safety and production efficiency.

Support drill-and-blast optimization from a geotechnical perspective.

Participate in mine planning and scheduling meetings.

Ensure compliance with mining regulations, environmental standards, and

company safety policies.

Prepare technical documentation, risk assessments, and engineering reports.

Support permitting and regulatory submissions.

Coordinate with geologists, mine engineers, surveyors, and environmental

specialists.

Manage contractors and geotechnical consultants when required.

Mentor junior engineers and technicians.

Present findings and recommendations to management and stakeholders.


The above responsibilities are representative and may not include all assigned duties.


Education and Experience

Bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geotechnical

Engineering or related field.

Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering or Rock Mechanics preferred.

5-8+ years of mining geotechnical experience

Knowledgeable in rock mechanics and soil mechanics

Experience with slope stability analysis, ground support design and data

interpretation and technical reporting

Experience with geotechnical and mine design software such as FLAC3D,

Rocscience Suite (Unwedge and Dips), GeoStudio, Surpac, Vulcan, AutoCAD, and

GIS platforms.

Experience with advanced numerical modelling software, FLAC3D, will be viewed

favorably; however, training and mentoring will be available for suitable

candidates.
