Senior Engineer (Geotechnical)

Roles & Responsibilities

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.

• 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.
