Note: conditions vary according to employer and region.
Tailings Engineers spend much of their time overseeing tailings storage facilities (TSFs), both in the field and in the office. They monitor dam stability, water management, and environmental compliance through data analysis, inspections, and collaboration with operations teams. The work can involve exposure to outdoor conditions in remote sites, along with responsibility for liaising with contractors, regulators, and local communities. Safety leadership is a core part of the role, and engineers must be comfortable balancing technical, environmental, and social responsibilities.
