Assist in planning and supervision of site / subsurface investigations: soil sampling (SPT / CPT/DCPT etc.), field logging, borehole supervision, etc. Interpret field investigation and laboratory test data; classify soils/rocks; derive design parameters (strength, stiffness, compressibility, etc.). Design shallow and deep foundations (spread footings, pile foundations, pile groups) according to Indian codes (IS), and with awareness of international standards (e.g. Eurocode, ASTM, BS etc.). Perform analyses of soil-structure interaction: e.g. pile behavior, settlement, lateral load capacity, interaction between soils and structures. Perform slope stability analysis (natural slopes / cut slopes / embankments), retaining walls, earth retaining systems. Propose ground improvement / soil stabilization techniques where necessary (e.g. compaction, reinforcement, grouting, vibro methods, etc.). Carry out numerical modelling / finite element analyses with software tools (PLAXIS (2D / 3D), LPILE / APILE / other pile design tools, SLOPE/W etc.) to simulate behavior, check safety, serviceability etc. Prepare geotechnical reports, design calculations, drawings, and technical specifications. Review & check contractor / vendor submitted geotechnical deliverables (investigation & test reports, foundation work, etc.). Work with the structural / civil / construction teams to ensure geotechnical designs are implementable; provide technical support during construction. Keep up to date with relevant standards / codes (Indian Standards, Eurocodes, ASTM, BS etc.), industry best practices, and ensure designs comply. Support quality assurance / quality control of geotechnical works: verifying field & lab test results; checking conformity to specs. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering; Master’s in Geotechnical / Soil Mechanics / Foundation Engineering is preferred. 4-7 years of professional experience in geotechnical engineering (consultancy / design firms / infrastructure / construction). Good knowledge of Indian standards (e.g. IS codes: IS 1892, IS 2911, IS 6403 etc.) and exposure to international standards (e.g. Eurocode 7, ASTM etc.). Strong fundamentals of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, slope stability, soil-structure interaction. Hands-on experience with geotechnical software including (but not limited to) PLAXIS, LPILE (or APILE), SLOPE/W, possibly Wallap, GeoStudio, etc. Ability to perform numerical analysis / finite element modelling. Good proficiency with lab and field testing methods and their interpretation (SPT, CPT, soil classification tests, consolidation, shear strength, etc.). Strong analytical, problem solving skills; attention to detail. Good communication skills: written reports, drawings; ability to interface with clients, contractors, interdisciplinary teams. Time management skills; able to work on multiple tasks / projects, meet deadlines.
