Job Description Position Overview Albemarle is seeking an experienced Senior Civil Engineer with a background in dam design and/or mine water and geotechnical engineering to support the Kings Mountain Mining Project through all phases of design, engineering, permitting, construction, and operations. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong technical expertise in one or more of the following areas: Hydraulic Engineering: hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control. Geotechnical Engineering: soil and rock characterization, slope stability analysis, and seepage modeling. The role works closely with project & corporate engineering, permitting, contractors, and operations teams to plan, evaluate, review, and oversee the design and construction of mine waste disposal facilities and surface water management infrastructure. Responsibilities include developing scopes of work, reviewing engineering analyses and deliverables prepared by external consultants, and supporting the development and implementation of operational and monitoring procedures.
