2 Retaining Structures Jobs

About the role: We are seeking a seasoned Geotechnical Design Engineer for our client with proven expertise in designing Reinforced Earth (RE) walls using polyester geogrids and pavement systems with polypropylene (PP) geogrids. This role requires in-depth technical knowledge, field coordination experience, and the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams. Youll be directly contributing to high-performance, cost-optimized, and sustainable infrastructure projects that demand analytical rigour and practical innovation. Roles & Responsibilities: 1. Geotechnical Site Investigations - Plan and execute field investigations including borehole drilling, sampling, and testing. - Interpret lab and field test results (CBR, UCS, triaxial, consolidation). - Identify critical soil behaviors impacting wall or pavement performance. 2. Design of Reinforced Earth (RE) Walls - Perform complete structural and geotechnical design of RE walls using polyester geogrids.- Conduct stability checks (external, internal, compound). - Use software such as Geo5, MSEW, REWall, or equivalent. - Align designs to standards (IRC SP-102, BS8006, FHWA-NHI, etc.). - Prepare detailed cross-sections, elevations, and BOQs. 3. Pavement Design with PP Geogrids - Analyze subgrade strength and stiffness (CBR, modulus). - Design flexible pavement systems with PP geogrid reinforcement. - Use layered theory or mechanistic-empirical design methods. - Optimize thickness and cost using comparative studies (with vs without geogrids). - Suggest subgrade improvements like stabilization or replacement. 4. Ground Improvement & Soil Stabilization - Propose and design soil stabilization using lime, cement, geotextiles, or other methods. - Prepare stabilization mix designs and supervise field trials and implementation. 5. Technical Documentation - Prepare calculation notes, design reports, BOQs, technical specs, and justification memos. - Ensure clarity, traceability, and adherence to codes in all documents. 6. Quality Assurance & Field Coordination - Validate assumptions through on-site testing (DCP, PLT, FWD). - Review QA/QC procedures and support contractors during execution. - Troubleshoot construction-phase geotechnical challenges. 7. Project & Stakeholder Interaction - Coordinate with structural, roadway, and material engineers. - Participate in technical review meetings and client discussions. - Present findings and defend design choices confidently. 8. Compliance & Risk Mitigation - Follow IRC, AASHTO, ASTM, IS codes. - Identify geotechnical risks (expansive clays, weak fills, seepage) and propose mitigation. - Participate in value engineering exercises. Project Types You May Work On: - Highways and expressways - Industrial facilities and internal roads - Urban infrastructure projects - Embankment stabilization and slope protection - Cut-fill balancing and landfill support structures Required Qualifications: - B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Civil, Geotechnical, or Structural Engineering. - 515 years of hands-on experience in RE wall and pavement design. - Proficiency in Geo5, MSEW, CIRCLY, KenPave, PLAXIS, or similar tools. - Familiarity with relevant codes: IRC, AASHTO, MORTH, IS, ASTM, FHWA, BS8006. Preferred Attributes: - Practical understanding of on-site construction practices. - Strong documentation and technical writing skills. - Exposure to BIM workflows or CAD-based detailing (added advantage). - Proactive, collaborative, and detail-oriented mindset. - Passion for sustainable and value-engineered infrastructure solutions. Work Ethic & Values: - Ability to work independently or in a remote/hybrid team. - Commitment to high-quality deliverables. - Willingness to learn, mentor, and communicate effectively. Travel Expectations - Occasional site visits may be required to validate design inputs and ensure on-ground feasibility. Compensation - Aligned with candidates experience, project scope, and value contribution. If interested, please share your updated resume with details of your present salary, expectations & notice period.
