Geotechnical Engineer

Overview

Responsibilities

• Responsible for interpreting and managing data and solving complex problems.
• To analyze and interpret geotechnical investigation data (e.g., borehole logs, CPT, laboratory results) to support engineering assessments, soil classification, and design recommendations.
• To identify patterns, anomalies, and variability in subsurface conditions across project sites, contributing to risk assessments and mitigation planning.
• Reviewing geotechnical investigation data, laboratory test results, and field test outputs. Prepare borehole logs, soil parameter summaries, idealized soil profiles, and basic geotechnical calculations.
• Collect, clean, and validate geotechnical field and laboratory data (e.g., borehole logs, CPT data, SPT values, lab test results) to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Identify opportunities for leveraging department data to drive business solutions
• Mine and analyze data from company databases to drive continual optimization and improvement business strategies
• Contribute to project documentation and data archiving by maintaining organized records of investigation reports, raw data, and analysis outputs for future reference and audit.
• Assess the effectiveness and accuracy of new data sources and data gathering techniques
• Develop custom data models and algorithms to apply to data sets
• Ensure compliance with geotechnical standards and specifications such as ASTM, BS, or local authority requirements during data handling and reporting.
• Develop processes and tools to monitor and analyze model performance and data accuracy
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders (e.g., site teams, consultants, labs) to ensure timely receipt and integration of investigation data.
• Demonstrate an openness for continual improvement and communicates issues proactively
• Compliance in accordance with HSE standards, Quality objectives & Company procedures
• Foundation design, including bearing capacity and settlement assessments. Support the design and review of shoring systems, secant pile walls, anchors, Waller beams, and dewatering systems.
• preparing technical reports, calculation sheets, drawings, design notes, and construction-stage documentation. Participate in site supervision activities where required, ensuring works are aligned with design specifications, safety requirements, and quality standards. Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to the delivery of geotechnical and civil engineering assignments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering, with academic focus or project experience in soil mechanics, foundation engineering, or ground improvement. Exposure to geotechnical design, site supervision, excavation support, shoring, dewatering, and foundation systems is preferred.
• Working knowledge of relevant engineering software such as WALLAP, GEO5, Settle3D, PLAXIS 2D, AutoCAD, SAP, ETABS, or SAFE is desirable.
• Strong Excel capability for processing and presenting laboratory and field test results is required. Good communication, teamwork, problem-solving, research, and time-management skills are expected.
• More than 5 to 8 years of Geotechnical Experience combining practical and field experience.
