About North Mara Gold Mine

North Mara Gold Mine is located in north-western Tanzania, in Tarime District, Mara Region, approximately 100 kilometres east of Lake Victoria and 20 kilometres south of the Kenyan border.

Commercial production began in 2002. The mine combines open-pit and underground operations across two deposits: Gokona, an underground deposit, and Nyabirama, an open-pit deposit. The processing plant has the capacity to process an average of 8,000 tonnes of ore per day.

Job Overview

Barrick’s Africa and Middle East team is seeking an experienced Geotechnical Superintendent to lead the geotechnical discipline at North Mara Gold Mine.

The successful candidate will lead the site-based geotechnical team, working with consultants when required, to deliver geotechnical planning and design inputs and protect mining plans from geotechnical hazards.

The role involves providing technical leadership across open-pit and underground mining operations, managing ground-control systems, assessing geotechnical risks, ensuring compliance with company standards, and supporting safe and efficient production.

The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate Barrick’s core values of integrity, accountability, results-driven performance, sustainable development, zero harm, and strong partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage geotechnical hazards in open-pit and underground operations.
• Design stope and development ground support, including primary support and cable-bolt layouts.
• Review standard ground-support profiles.
• Ensure pit designs are supported by adequate, high-quality geological and geotechnical data.
• Conduct stability analyses, including kinematic, limit-equilibrium, and numerical analyses, to identify potential instabilities and recommend preventive or mitigating measures.
• Perform raise-bore stability analysis, pillar design and analysis, and backfill-exposure stability analysis.
• Maintain systems for validating design assumptions and monitoring compliance of actual excavations with approved designs.

2. Ground Control and Stability Monitoring

• Maintain the mine’s Ground Control Management Plan, Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs), ground-support standards, and related systems.
• Design, install, evaluate, and analyze underground and open-pit stability-monitoring systems.
• Maintain a three-dimensional geotechnical block model representing the rock mass for open-pit and underground mining.
• Maintain a Life of Mine (LOM) stress model to support stope sequencing, seismic-risk assessment, and recommendations for mitigating future geotechnical risks.
• Analyze rock-mass and structural-logging data and validate the resulting information.
• Conduct hydrogeological assessments, including the design and monitoring of hydrogeological systems and analysis of technical reports.
• Inspect and report significant ground falls.
• Manage ground-control issues and develop specific ground-control designs.
• Manage ground-support trials, assess their performance, and conduct pull testing of installed ground supports.

3. Team Leadership and Capacity Development

• Lead the site geotechnical team and coordinate with consultants when required.
• Manage geotechnical staffing and headcount in collaboration with the Regional Geotechnical Manager.
• Manage the geotechnical budget and coordinate equipment procurement with the Regional Geotechnical Manager.
• Commission and oversee consultant work as necessary.
• Train and develop Geotechnical Engineers.
• Conduct ground-control training programs when required.

4. Production Support and Operational Coordination
