Junior Mining R&D Engineer

Do you want to work at the intersection of Mining Engineering and R&D where innovative technology geomechanics and sustainable cavern applications come together Nobian is developing the next generation of caverns for production energy storage and circular use. As a Junior Mining R&D Engineer you will play a key role in developing modelling and optimizing these underground systems.

As a Junior Mining R&D Engineer you collaborate closely with both Mining Development & Compliance (MDC) and Research Development & Innovation (RD&I). You contribute to projects such as backfilling secondary cavern use post saturation of weak brines H₂ storage CAES and the development of advanced numerical simulations for salt caverns.

• Explore and develop opportunities for cavern backfilling and storage broader than existing initiatives such as H₂ and CAES.
• Provide geomechanical expertise for ongoing projects. Contribute to updating tactical knowledge related to cavern storage.

• Provide technical support for solids handling backfill materials and clean return of brine streams.
• Review process and contribute to project deliverables and departmental reporting.

• Analyse and report on progress including safety technical issues required competencies permits and barrier removal actions.
• Ensure compliance with Nobian guidelines processes and external regulations. Apply critical thinking and responsible use of AIbased tools for data analysis modelling and engineering workflows.
