What are some unique challenges faced by a Remote Geotechnical Engineer in the mining industry, and how can they be effectively addressed?

Remote Geotechnical Engineers in mining often face challenges such as limited on-site access, reliance on remote sensing data, and coordinating with multidisciplinary teams across different time zones. Overcoming these challenges requires strong communication skills, proficiency with digital collaboration tools, and the ability to interpret data from satellite imagery, GIS, and remote monitoring systems. Building strong relationships with on-site personnel and regularly participating in virtual meetings can help ensure that geotechnical recommendations are effectively implemented and project timelines are maintained.

What does a Remote Geotechnical Engineer in Mining do?

A Remote Geotechnical Engineer in Mining is responsible for assessing and managing the stability and safety of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions at mining sites, often working from a remote location using digital tools and data. They analyze geological data, design slopes, foundations, and tunnels, and provide recommendations to prevent geotechnical failures. Their work ensures the safety of mining operations, reduces risks, and helps maintain compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Geotechnical Engineer in Mining, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Geotechnical Engineer in Mining, you need a strong background in geology, soil mechanics, and engineering principles, usually supported by a degree in civil or geotechnical engineering and relevant certifications. Familiarity with geotechnical modeling software (such as GeoStudio or PLAXIS), GIS tools, and remote data acquisition systems is essential. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills help you interpret data, coordinate with remote teams, and ensure project safety. These skills are vital for accurately assessing site conditions, managing risks, and delivering reliable solutions in mining projects from a distance.

Key responsibilities

  • Prepare and review geotechnical reports, calculations, and specifications for subsurface investigations, deep foundations, ground improvement, earth retaining systems, monitoring wells, water production wells, and general earthwork.

  • Advise power project developers and evaluate new utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage, thermal, and other power and infrastructure projects to support financing.

  • Conduct occasional on-site quality surveillance of subsurface exploration programs, pile installation, and pile testing.

Job description

Description
This is a remote/virtual position. Candidate can be based anywhere within the United States.
SLC works on behalf of clients to support utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage, thermal power, and other power and infrastructure projects. We evaluate and optimize technical, commercial, environmental, social responsibility, and financial aspects of the projects for a variety of clients.
This position will require you to perform high quality design and consulting services as part of multidisciplined project teams for challenging domestic and international, power and industrial projects. These engineering services include but are not limited to earth retention systems, deep and shallow foundation design, dam stability analyses and inspections, in-situ instrumentation and monitoring programs, subsurface exploration, seismic stability and liquefaction analyses, ground improvement, groundwater supply wells, and field oversight of exploration and construction activities.
Typical responsibilities may include:
  • Support preparation and review of geotechnical reports and calculations for conformity with project specifications.
  • Prepare and review specifications for subsurface investigations, deep foundations, ground improvement, earth retaining systems, monitoring wells, water production wells, and general earthwork.
  • Advise power project developers to support new utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage, thermal, and other projects;
  • Evaluate new power and infrastructure projects independently to support financing
  • Develop technical reports for applicable audiences - including owners, developers, governmental agencies and committees, and financiers
  • Conduct occasional on-site quality surveillance of subsurface exploration programs, pile installation and pile testing.
  • Occasional domestic and/or international travel

Qualifications
We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.
Essential skills and experience:
  • This position requires a bachelor's degree in civil engineering with a geotechnical focus. A Master's degree with a strong background and coursework in geotechnical engineering discipline is a plus.
  • 10+ years of detailed geotechnical design, including soil remediation, deep foundations, driven, predrilled, and helical pile design
  • Experience in working in design of power, transmission, or other heavy industry projects, including on-site quality surveillance of subsurface exploration programs, pile installation and pile testing.
  • Experience in writing and providing support documentation for Geotechnical Engineering specifications or calculations.
  • Ability to work in a team environment
  • Ability to prioritize multiple parallel, fast-paced tasks within schedule and assigned budget
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical evaluation report writing

Valued but not required skills and experience:
  • Professional Engineering (PE) license
  • Experience specific to wind turbine generation and/or solar PV design
  • Experience with unique subsurface conditions
  • Technical evaluation report writing
  • Ability and willingness to travel, both domestic and international.
  • Multi-discipline teamwork (i.e. design projects, co-ops)
  • Data analysis and visualization
  • Project finance or business acumen
  • Conceptual project design
  • Construction project management and/or scheduling software knowledge
  • Excellent verbal/written communication skills
  • Solid interpersonal skills and ability to work with and guide others
  • Project planning, leadership, and organizational skills

AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy
In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:
  • You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
  • Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
  • Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required.
  • We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.
