- Develop and interpret geotechnical reports, including foundation and pile design recommendations and slope stability assessments.
- Collaborate with project teams on foundation design, ground improvement techniques, and risk mitigation strategies.
- Review third-party geotechnical reports and provide quality assurance for outsourced investigations.
- Support environmental impact assessments with geotechnical input.
- Participate in field visits, on-site inspections, and construction monitoring as needed.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of geotechnical standards, industry best practices, and renewable energy-specific challenges.
Requirements
