Geotechnical Engineer

You are an experienced Geotechnical Expert with 5-12 years of expertise in hydroelectric or dam construction projects. Your role involves conducting geotechnical investigations, analyzing soil and rock mechanics, and providing technical recommendations to ensure the stability and safety of the project. Your responsibilities include conducting geotechnical investigations, soil and rock testing, and site assessments. You will analyze geotechnical data and provide recommendations for foundation design, slope stability, and ground improvement techniques. Supervising and coordinating with site teams, contractors, and consultants for geotechnical-related activities is also part of your role. You will evaluate geological hazards and risks associated with dam and hydroelectric projects, ensuring compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and safety regulations. In addition, you will prepare geotechnical reports, design documentation, and technical presentations. Collaborating with structural, civil, and hydropower engineers to integrate geotechnical solutions into the overall project design is essential. Monitoring and reviewing geotechnical instrumentation data for performance assessment will also be part of your responsibilities. To qualify for this role, you should have a Bachelors/Masters degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field. You must have 5-12 years of relevant experience in hydroelectric or dam construction projects. Proficiency in geotechnical analysis software such as PLAXIS, GeoStudio, AutoCAD, etc., is required. A strong understanding of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and ground improvement techniques is essential. Knowledge of geotechnical investigations, laboratory testing, and in-situ testing methods is also necessary. Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in challenging site conditions are important for this role. Strong communication and reporting skills are also required. Preferred qualifications include experience working with large-scale hydro projects and familiarity with national and international geotechnical codes and standards.,
