Lead Geo Mechanical Engineer

Interested candidates, kindly mail to enpcareers.hr@ril.com

Main Purpose:

To lead geo-mechanical data generation, laboratory testing, and advanced numerical modeling to assess subsurface stability and deformation under varying pressure and temperature conditions, providing robust geo-mechanical inputs for underground design, risk mitigation, and ground control strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop SOPs and SOWs for geo-mechanical data and parameter generation across different rock and coal types.
• Plan and supervise geo-mechanical sampling, preservation, transportation, and laboratory testing, ensuring data integrity and QA/QC.
• Manage and coordinate with geo-mechanical laboratories and vendors to ensure compliance with global benchmark standards.
• Conduct gap analysis of test data and guide additional parameter generation aligned with specific use cases.
• Perform advanced geo-mechanical stress-strain, deformation, and failure modeling under varying pressure and temperature conditions using specialized software.
• Execute numerical simulations (CFD / FEM / DEM-based tools) for stability analysis, subsidence assessment, and underground panel design support.
• Interpret modeling outputs to recommend ground control and subsidence mitigation strategies.
• Collaborate with geology, reservoir, drilling, and project teams to integrate geo-mechanical recommendations into design and planning.
• Prepare technical reports, modeling documentation, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Provide technical guidance to cross-functional teams, and build, mentor, and lead the geo-mechanics team to achieve project targets.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Master’s degree in Geo-mechanics, Geotechnical Engineering, Mining Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 10–15 years of hands-on experience in geo-mechanical analysis and numerical modeling.
• Strong fundamentals in rock mechanics, stress–strain behavior, failure mechanisms, and support design under differential pressure and temperature conditions.
• Experience or exposure to subsurface/underground energy, mining, engineering, or geotechnical projects preferred.
• Proficiency in numerical modeling and simulation tools used for geo-mechanical, geotechnical, and subsurface analysis.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
