Job Description

Role Overview :

The Principal Geotechnical Engineer leads delivery of complex geotechnical scopes across building and infrastructure projects. The role carries technical authority over geotechnical design decisions, mentors a team of engineers, and serves as the primary geotechnical interface with clients, lead consultants, and specialist contractors.

Key Responsibilities :

Specifications Develop specifications for geotechnical investigation, topographic, geophysical, and remote sensing surveys. Prepare construction specifications covering earthworks, piling, embedded walls and shoring, earth retaining structures (MSE, gabion, nailed walls), ground improvement, slope stabilization, tie-back anchors, rock bolts, and dewatering systems. Prepare Instrumentation & Monitoring specifications including inclinometers, piezometers, and settlement plates.

Technical Writing & Reports Prepare Geotechnical Interpretative Reports, Geotechnical Design Reports and Desk Study Reports. Develop geotechnical chapters within structural design reports. Developing pile load test interpretation reports, and contribute to technical proposals for tendering purposes.

Review & Checking Review method statements against issued specifications, borehole logs, and laboratory testing programs. Review final GIR/GFR reports from soil laboratories and I&M data against trigger levels during construction. Review specialist contractor submissions covering shoring, dewatering design, piling, ground improvement, rock stabilization, and retaining wall designs. Conduct in-house QA/QC and external peer reviews of geotechnical deliverables.

Design & Analysis Skills :

Bearing capacity, settlement, consolidation, and time-settlement analysis
Shoring wall design using PLAXIS 2D or Wallap
Soil-structure interaction analysis using PLAXIS 3D
CPT interpretation using CLiq / CPT-IT
Ground improvement design using StoneC
Lateral pile analysis using L-Pile (p–y curves)
Slope stability using Slope/W, Slide2, Dips, or Swedge
Seismic and liquefaction assessment using Liquefy Pro
Foundation optimization across multiple structural load cases
