• Conduct comprehensive geotechnical studies from planning to report writing, including drilling, laboratory testing, as well as design recommendations.
• Provide technical support to other teams, including those involved in the design and planning of tunnels, highways, and bridges with geotechnical considerations.
• Evaluate geological and geotechnical data to assess the characteristics and behavior of soil and rock masses at construction sites, determining stability, load-bearing capacity, and settlement characteristics.
• Oversee project execution to ensure timely, cost-effective completion while maintaining safety standards. Collaborate with construction teams to ensure design specifications are met.
• Provide guidance to junior team members, offering mentorship, training, and oversight to ensure high-quality work and deliverables.
• Contribute to the development of detailed geotechnical designs, technical drawings and construction specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards and project requirements.
• Identify, assess, and manage risks associated with geotechnical projects, including natural hazards like earthquakes, landslides, and floods.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships by providing updates on project status, negotiating contracts, and offering technical support.
• Establish and oversee quality control procedures to ensure precision and reliability in geotechnical analyses and reports, following industry standards and best practices.

Qualifications

• A degree in Geotechnical Engineering or Civil Engineering with a focus on Geotechnical Engineering.
• Post-graduate degree is considered an asset.
• At least 10 years of experience in Geotechnical Engineering, particularly with linear infrastructure projects, and a proven track record of leading complex studies and managing large-scale projects.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in British Columbia, or eligibility for registration with the EGBC within 3 months.
• Proficiency in geotechnical software for slope stability, drainage, and finite element analysis.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, including geotechnical and geological engineers, as well as environmental specialists.
• Ability to work independently, demonstrating strong problem-solving skills, and collaboratively as part of a team, managing tasks and deliverables effectively.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey project status and technical information to clients and stakeholders.
