Geotechnical Engineer

About the role

Geotechnical Engineer responsible for verifying site compliance with geotechnical design requirements and conducting inspections throughout the construction period of wind turbine generator foundations. The role involves site-based geotechnical oversight, risk assessment, and formal approval of critical foundation elements.

Key responsibilities

• Verify site compliance with geotechnical design requirements, including bearing capacity, ground improvement, differential settlement under dynamic loading, overall settlement, slope stability, and drainage and dewatering requirements. Identify and assess site geotechnical risks.
• Inspect and sign off on excavation safety, foundation formation levels, and ground conditions. Confirm that groundwater levels, soil stiffness, bearing capacity, and other relevant conditions meet the design requirements before placing blinding or foundation concrete.
• Inspect and formally approve the final formation layer and backfill installation for wind turbine generator (WTG) foundations, confirming compliance with the foundation design requirements. Review necessary over-excavation, replacement fill, and formation treatment measures.
• Verify ground parameters critical to the foundation design through site testing, and verify relevant backfill parameters before and during compaction.
• Prepare foundation base inspection reports covering geological profiles exposed in excavation sidewalls, groundwater conditions, formation levels and soil descriptions, allowable bearing capacity, differential settlement, and other relevant observations.
• Determine the required safe horizontal distances between spoil or stockpile areas and WTG foundations or critical infrastructure to prevent slope instability.

About you

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or related field
• At least five (5) years of relevant work experience
• At least three (3) years of site experience on similar construction projects
• Dedicated exclusively to the project and based on site throughout the construction period
• Demonstrate a responsible and proactive attitude
• Comply with project work arrangements
• Effectively carry out geotechnical inspections, technical communication, and site coordination
• Willing to be assigned to the Bicol Region project site.
• Must have own laptop.

Note:

• Accommodation/staff house is provided
