About the role

At AtkinsRéalis, a geotechnical tailings engineer is sought to lead multi-disciplinary teams in the design of tailings impoundments and mine waste facilities from concept to construction. The role focuses on siting, design and documentation for earthwork projects in mining and water resources. The candidate should have a civil/geotechnical degree, a geotechnical postgraduate qualification, 6+ years of relevant experience, and a Professional Engineer license (or reciprocity with NV/AZ).

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
