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
