  • Conduct site inspections to verify compliance with geotechnical designs and specifications.
  • Identify geotechnical risks, such as settlement, slope failure, or soil instability, and develop mitigation strategies.
  • Support risk assessments and implement measures to manage geotechnical uncertainties.
  • Conduct detailed analyses and provide robust geotechnical recommendations to ensure the stability and durability of infrastructure.
  • Work closely with the Senior Geotechnical Engineer, structural and civil teams, and other stakeholders to integrate geotechnical solutions into the overall project.
  • Liaise with contractors, consultants, and regulatory authorities to ensure alignment on geotechnical requirements.
  • Review laboratory and field test results for soil and rock properties to validate design assumptions.
  • Implement quality assurance protocols for geotechnical works, ensuring adherence to project requirements.
  • Prepare geotechnical reports, including analysis findings, design recommendations, and progress updates.
  • Maintain detailed records of geotechnical activities and testing results for compliance and future reference.
  • Act as a key liaison between project teams, contractors, and regulatory bodies to align geotechnical works with project objectives.
  • Perform other responsibilities associated with this position as may be appropriate.

  • 5+ years of related experience in geotechnical engineering (design and/or construction).
  • Proficiency in geotechnical analysis and design software (e.g., PLAXIS, GeoStudio, Rocscience, AutoCAD Civil 3D), computer literate.
  • Strong understanding of ground investigation techniques, soil mechanics, and foundation design.
  • Knowledge of international standards and codes of practice.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to manage multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
