Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Lead a team of Geotechnical Engineers and collaborate with Design Consultants and PM/CM engineering teams to deliver complex geotechnical solutions for tunnels, deep excavations, diaphragm walls, and related infrastructure. Review geotechnical designs, earth structures, urban excavations, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls to ensure compliance with project specifications and requirements. Review and provide technical recommendations for subsurface investigation programs and site exploration activities. Conduct and oversee field investigations, geotechnical assessments, sampling programs, soil classification activities, and technical evaluations. Perform and review advanced geotechnical analyses related to soil and rock properties, shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, ground improvement, earth pressures, liquefaction, geosynthetics, and seismic ground deformation. Evaluate, select, and apply appropriate geotechnical engineering methods, techniques, procedures, and design criteria. Perform and review grading, drainage, slope stability, liquefaction, and lateral spreading analyses. Review technical proposals and bids and provide recommendations to support project decision-making. Ensure quality assurance and quality control procedures are effectively implemented across all geotechnical engineering activities. Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to geotechnical engineering teams and project stakeholders. Prepare and review technical reports, engineering assessments, and design recommendations. Support project planning, risk management, stakeholder coordination, and engineering decision-making processes.
