Title:  Civil Engineer I

What You Will Do

• Acquire knowledge of and recognize engineering principles related to site-wide water systems including hydrology, hydraulics, hydrogeology, water treatment plant(process) design, and general water quality for the purposes of quantifying water balance across process, mine, and stormwater areas.
• Assist operational areas with water data measurement/collection, Quality Assurance, instrument calibration verification, flowsheet mapping, updating operational rules, and performing standard computations/analysis for water accounting. Site-wide process water circuits are included (with focus on tailings storage facilities and leach stockpiles), as well as storm water and mine facilities.
• Acquire knowledge of Tailings, Crushed Leach, and Water Management System. Contribute through data collection and information gathering, task execution as directed by others, routine communication of scope changes.
• Assist with maintaining site-wide water simulation model. Incorporate water use scenarios that consider specific production plans and climate scenarios to quantify water balance performance.
• Perform other duties as required.

What You Bring To Freeport

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering or related engineering discipline from an accredited curriculum.
• Knowledge of principles and practice of civil, geotechnical, hydrologic or water/waste water engineering or a related field of science or engineering.
• Proficient in MS Excel and Word, with knowledge of other MS Office software and engineering tools (CAD, analytical, mapping).
• Fluency in English
• Ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing to a diversely educated audience.
• Present a positive, professional image.
