Job Description
- Plan, manage and implement geotechnical investigation programs for tunnel and underground projects
- Perform geotechnical analyses and design based on geotechnical investigation results
- Use commercial numerical modelling tools including both Finite and Distinct Elements software to design tunnels and underground structures
- Autonomously generate and verify excel sheets for structural and geotechnical verifications
- Provide multidisciplinary teams clear knowledge and expertise of the basic principles of soil and rock mechanics and ground-structure interactions
- Participate in teamwork contributing with specific geotechnical and structural experience on underground components of Transportation and Water Conveyance projects
- Support tunnels proposals with technical inputs, including methodologies and techniques
- Design of tunnels in both TBM and SEM (Sequential Excavation Methods), especially TBM tunnel lining design
- Contribute to preparation of contract documents, technical specifications, design report and drawing
- Supervise and review the work of less experienced engineers, train interns on numerical modelling
- Liaise with other disciplines, professionals, clients
Qualifications
- Degree in Civil, Geotechnical or Structural Engineering with experience in tunnelling and underground engineering
- Minimum 7+ years’ experience in tunnels, trenchless structures
- Design Experience with small (OD 6m~8m) and/or large diameter (OD >10m) TBM tunnelling method is preferred
- Knowledge of Geotechnical, Hydrogeology, Geological engineering and Rock mechanics
- Knowledge of analytical and numerical analysis methods for underground works and tunnels
- Ability to work with minimal supervision
- Advanced analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills applied to design activities
- Advanced oral and written skills as well as interpersonal/teamwork skills
