• Perform comprehensive geotechnical investigations and soil stability analyses to evaluate subsurface conditions and risks.

• Utilize PLAXIS and other geotechnical modeling software for finite element analysis related to soil-structure interaction and stability.

• Design effective shoring systems, including sheet pile walls and cofferdams, to support excavation works safely.

• Conduct deep excavation analysis considering soil behavior, groundwater conditions, and load impacts.

• Develop technical reports, design calculations, and construction drawings related to geotechnical aspects of projects.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including civil engineers, structural engineers, and construction teams to ensure designs are practical and compliant with safety standards.

• Review contractor submissions and provide expert recommendations for temporary earth retention systems.

• Monitor construction activities related to excavation and shoring to ensure adherence to design specifications and safety guidelines.

• Stay updated with industry standards, codes, and best practices in geotechnical engineering.

Required Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering.

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in geotechnical engineering with emphasis on soil stability, deep excavations, and temporary support design.

• Proficiency in PLAXIS software for geotechnical finite element analysis.

• Strong knowledge of shoring design techniques including sheet piles and cofferdams.

• Experience in deep excavation analysis and related geotechnical risk assessment.

• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

• Ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with other geotechnical software such as GEO5, Settle3D, or FLAC.

• Knowledge of groundwater control techniques in excavations.

• Experience with large infrastructure projects.

• Strong report writing and client communication skills.
