Geotechnical Engineer

We are seeking a focused and detailed Geotechnical Engineer with 3 to 5 years of consulting experience to join our core technical team. You will specialize directly in geotechnical design, focusing on slope engineering, soil retention systems, and ground stabilization solutions for civil and infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Core Technical Design: Conduct numerical analysis and structural design for slope stabilization schemes, soil nailing systems, Reinforced Earth (RE) walls, and cantilever/anchored retaining walls using engineering software (e.g., PLAXIS, GeoStudio, Slide).
• Slope & Earthwork Assessment: Evaluate natural and cut slopes, slope hazard risks, and slope protection measures (shotcrete, hydroseeding, gabions, geogrids).
• Subsurface Interpretation: Analyze borehole logs and laboratory test data from Site Investigations (SI) to formulate reliable soil profiles and design parameters.
• Authority & Client Deliverables: Produce high-quality engineering calculation reports, technical specifications, and design drawings for submission to local authorities (e.g., MBPJ, Public Works Department/JKR) and clients.
• Instrumentation & Site Review: Interpret geotechnical instrumentation monitoring data (inclinometers, piezometers, settlement markers) and resolve site-specific geological and slope conditions during construction.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Geotechnical Engineering recognized by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
• Experience: 3–5 years of dedicated design experience within a geotechnical consultancy firm.
• Software Competency: Highly proficient in slope stability and wall design software (GeoStudio SLOPE/W, PLAXIS 2D, Slide, WALLAP) and AutoCAD.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of soil mechanics, lateral earth pressures, slope remediation techniques, and retaining wall stability criteria.

Preferred Qualifications

• Registered Professional Engineer with Practising Certificate (PEPC) with BEM, or near completion of PEPC requirements.
• Track record with hillside development approvals, slope failure forensic investigations, or earthwork design submissions.
