The Opportunity
CSIRO Mineral Resources (CMR) is one of the largest minerals research and development groups globally, with a proud track record in delivering innovation and solutions across the mineral resources value chain. We thrive on innovation harnessed by the diversity of the minds and lived experiences of our team and apply our expert knowledge and specialised research to provide innovation that solves the complex problems faced by minerals companies, mining equipment, technology, and services (METS) companies, government, and other industry stakeholders.
The Mineral Resources Business Unit is performing fundamental research related to sustainable mining. The main areas of research include developing sensors for stress-strain measurements, cutting for selective mining, measurement while drilling, numerical modelling for deep level caving, and innovative mining methods (e.g., in-situ mining, in-mine recovery, and in-line mining). The research team also works on developing new energetic materials for surface and underground mining applications to improve the drawbacks of the conventional products and perform advanced numerical modellings to improve the understanding of the interaction between the rock masses and charges for dynamic rock fragmentation.
As the Geomechanics Engineer you will have the opportunity to build and maintain networks, play a lead role in securing project funds, provide scientific leadership and pursue new ideas and approaches that create new concepts.
You will be working with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and graduate and post-graduate students from CSIRO, Mining3, and different local and international universities to deliver industry-funded applications projects and research and development projects. You will be capable of supporting the team in developing proposals for both the mining industry and research institutes and organisations such as Caving2040, MRIWA, and CRCs.
