Geotechnical/Structural Design Engineer – Construction Stage

Job Title: Geotechnical/Structural Design Engineer – Construction Stage.

Job Summary:

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Geotechnical Design Engineer to support the design, analysis, and implementation of complex subsurface construction systems. The ideal candidate will have strong technical knowledge in geotechnical engineering, particularly in dewatering systems, deep foundations, and ground improvement techniques. This role plays a critical part in providing safe, cost-effective, and constructible geotechnical design solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

A. Dewatering System Design

• Perform design and hydraulic analysis of temporary and permanent construction dewatering systems for deep excavations.
• Determine appropriate WellPoint, deep well, or eductor systems based on groundwater conditions and project needs.
• Evaluate drawdown requirements and perform seepage and flow modeling as needed.

B. Deep Foundation System Design

• Design and analyze deep foundation systems, including:
• Drilled shafts / caissons
• Auger cast piles
• Micropiles
• Tiedowns / anchors
• Develop load capacity estimates and perform axial, lateral, and uplift capacity analyses.
• Provide recommendations for installation methods and load testing programs.

C. Ground Improvement Design

• Design ground improvement systems such as:
• Grouting techniques (jet, compaction, permeation)
• Soil mixing
• Stone columns
• Vibro-compaction
• Preloading and surcharging
• Evaluate effectiveness of various techniques based on site conditions and performance criteria.
• Develop monitoring and quality control plans for ground improvement works.

D. Geotechnical Interpretation & Parameter Estimation

• Review and interpret Geotechnical Investigation Reports (GIRs), bore logs, lab testing data, and in-situ test results (SPT, CPT, Pressure meter, etc.).
• Estimate design soil parameters including strength, stiffness, permeability, and settlement characteristics.
• Prepare geotechnical design models and ground profiles to support analytical and numerical simulations.

General Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including structural engineers, construction managers, and geologists.
• Prepare detailed design reports, calculation packages, drawings, and specifications.
• Provide technical support during construction and participate in design revisions based on site conditions.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, industry codes (e.g., ACI, AISC, AASHTO) and local regulations.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Geotechnical Engineering.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in geotechnical design for infrastructure, buildings, or heavy civil projects.
• Proficiency in geotechnical software tools (e.g., PLAXIS, SLIDE, LPile, DEEP excavation, Allpile, Shoring Suite, Snail or similar).
• Strong analytical skills with experience in both empirical and numerical methods.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Familiarity with construction methods and field challenges.
• Experience working on infrastructure or urban excavation projects.
• Understanding of geotechnical risk management and mitigation strategies.
