Roberto is a civil engineer with more than two decades of experience working on geotechnical projects throughout Europe and South America. As a principal and innovation lead, he leads our Geoscience team. These specialists support multidisciplinary teams, solving complex problems for mining projects in Chile and Peru.
Currently, Roberto balances his time between engineering projects related to tailings deposits and a part-time academic role. He lectures on geotechnical subjects at the Civil Engineering Department of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago. He also served as the president of the Chilean Geotechnical Society for the 2022-2023 term.
When he isn’t leading mining projects or lecturing, Roberto enjoys various outdoor sports, especially trekking with his family—he feels lucky to live where there are lots of trekking opportunities.
