What makes us stand out?

KCB is an employee-owned mid-size consultancy with a reputation that exceeds our size. Our tag line “Down to Earth / Up to the Challenge” says a lot about who we are. Our staff are inquisitive, curious, and dedicated to solving complex problems. Our size allows us to draw on colleagues across the globe just as easily as if they were across the hall. We also advocate for continued professional development and encourage this by hosting a range of internal and external training sessions and encouraging staff to participate in conferences. In broad terms we think KCB’s differentiators are our:

• Engage with multi-disciplinary teams to integrate environmental, geotechnical, and regulatory considerations into tailings management strategies.
• Conduct risk assessments and develop mitigation measures to minimize environmental and safety hazards associated with tailings storage facilities

In addition to the must have requirements you will excel in the role if you have:
