GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER (B)

PURPOSE OF THE JOB: 
The Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for investigating and analyzing the physical properties of soil, rock, and other subsurface materials to design foundations, slopes, retaining structures, and other civil engineering projects. This role involves conducting fieldwork, laboratory testing, and using specialized software to assess the stability, risk, and safety of construction projects. The Geotechnical Engineer collaborates closely with civil engineers, architects, and project managers to ensure that designs are safe, efficient, and compliant with relevant regulations. He will get to design and review the design of various types of structures including bridges, tunnels, underpasses, retaining walls, car parks, and public infrastructure-related buildings/structures.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop field investigation programs, and complete investigations and construction field assignments
• Perform a variety of geotechnical engineering tasks to complete site investigations including site investigations supervision, rock core logging, rock characterization, supervision of lab testing and review of geotechnical factual data.
• Review borehole logs, develop subsurface soil profiles, prepare lab testing schedules, coordinate field and laboratory testing programs and analyze and interpret field and laboratory test results.
• Track the progress of the assigned tasks and report to the Senior/Principal Engineer of the status and any issues that may arise during the site investigations and design development
• Perform and review geotechnical analysis and calculations for bearing capacity, settlement, soil and rock slope stability, excavations support systems in soil and rock, retaining walls, tunnels and ground improvement works.
• Produce Geotechnical Factual Report (GFR), Geotechnical Interpretative Report (GIR), and Geotechnical Design Report (GDR) including producing calculations, technical notes, design drawings and technical specifications.
• Supervise CAD team as per project task assigned.
• Work effectively and collaboratively with project team.
• Candidate must also implement behavior-based safety tools to achieve incident free operations (no personal injuries, property damage or environmental releases) for both client and Parsons.
• Working knowledge of engineering software packages associated with the geotechnical discipline
• Support other engineering activities as required by the senior and principal engineer
• Perform other responsibilities associated with this position as may be appropriate
• Be self-motivated and require minor supervision on committed tasks

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelors Degree in Civil / Geological / Geotechnical Engineering and 3+ years of related work experience.
• Masters Degree in Structural Engineering is highly preferred.
• Possession of internationally recognized engineering license such as PE, SE, and CEng is highly preferred.
• Work experience must be related to HANDS-ON DESIGN of geotechnical elements of structures.
• Ability to utilize standard Rock Engineering principles, techniques and analyses to complete conventional, moderately complex assignments within the geotechnical discipline.
• Intimate knowledge of the following software: gINT, RSData, Dips, Unwedge, GeoStudio, Settle 3, LPILE, GROUP, Plaxis, AutoCAD
• Intimate knowledge of following design codes: Eurocode, British Standards, Ashghal Interim Advice Notes, CIRIA, AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications
• Business-level English language skills sufficient to produce well-written reports with organized structure and minimal need for grammatical corrections, and to hold articulate verbal communications
• Minimal interfaces with Clients but provides inputs to others working on the same project
• Candidate will be requested to proceed with the MME registration once joining the company.
• Native-level English speaking and writing skills
