Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage all geotechnical aspects of construction and infrastructure projects.
- Conduct soil, rock, and groundwater investigations to evaluate site conditions and provide geotechnical design recommendations.
- Prepare and review geotechnical design reports, risk assessments, and engineering calculations (e.g., slope stability, bearing capacity, settlement analysis, retaining structures, tunneling, and deep excavation).
- Provide technical advice on ground improvement methods, foundations, shoring systems, piling, and earthworks.
- Supervise and review the work of junior geotechnical engineers, consultants, and subcontractors.
- Carry out site inspections and monitoring (e.g., instrumentation, settlement, slope movement, groundwater level monitoring).
- Liaise with clients, consultants, contractors, and government authorities to ensure compliance with codes, regulations, and project requirements.
- Manage geotechnical risks, propose mitigation measures, and provide innovative solutions to complex ground engineering challenges.
- Prepare technical submissions, method statements, and documentation for authority approvals.
- Ensure safety, quality, and environmental standards are maintained during geotechnical works.
- Support tender preparation and provide cost and technical input for proposals.
- Any other duties that assigned by a superior.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering recognized by the PE Board or a qualification acceptable to the Commissioner of Building Control as eligible for application as a Resident Engineer, or a recognized Degree in the relevant field, subject to the acceptance of the SO.
- Minimum 8 years of geotechnical engineering experience, with at least 5 years of experience in construction supervision of geotechnical work for projects of similar scale, complexity, and nature of work.
- Preferred to have an LTA/rail projects background
- Strong knowledge of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, and geotechnical design standards.
- Proficient in geotechnical design software (e.g., PLAXIS, GeoStudio, SAFE, FLAC, or equivalent).
- Familiar with local codes, international standards, and regulatory approval processes.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage multidisciplinary teams.
- Chartered Engineer / Professional Engineer (PE) in Geotechnical Engineering is an advantage.
