Create the solutions that will enable a better tomorrow

  • Review geotechnical submissions from contractors and consultants.
  • Collaborate with structural, coastal, and BIM engineers to integrate geotechnical solutions into project designs.
  • Provide technical guidance to junior engineers on geotechnical aspects.

YOUR SKILLS. OUR TEAM. TOGETHER WE DESIGN THE FUTURE

The first step to success in this role is your eagerness to collaborate with others; colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully, delivering on your promises, and exploring new insights and ways to improve.

Furthermore, you should have:

  • Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering with 4 to 8 years of experience in geotechnical engineering consulting.

  • Knowledge of Euro/BS codes and experience in design using Eurocode.
