Sr. Engineer (Laboratory)
(Geotechnical)
Department: QC/QA
Location: Central Africa
A geotechnical engineer is a type
of civil engineer who studies soil, silt, clay, sand and rock properties to
help design the best foundation for everything from roads to new buildings,
canals, industrials structures and bridges.
This is followed by 2 ground
investigation based on the findings of the desk study and involves trial pitting
and sampling to uncover any potential issues
The role of a geotechnical engineer
is so important because he is responsible for evaluating the ground conditions
of a site prior to build-out. Ground conditions can vary greatly even on a
small site, and with added challenges such as climate change impacting the environment
with droughts and floods, the role of a geotechnical engineer is becoming even
more significant. They must determine whether the ground can withstand the
added pressures or changes brought by construction, which can ultimately avoid
costly issues further into the project. Our Client required experienced
geotechnical engineers with excellent technical knowledge, communication and
advanced computer skills.
ROLES:-
Developing a strategic investigation plan for the site
Performing the geotechnical investigation studies on field tests,
Laboratory tests, analysis, and design as per the plan (DCP, SPT, CBR, Relative
density, Triaxial, Proctor compaction test, Augur Test, Atterberg limits,
Plastic Limit, specific gravity of any
substance, Density, Moisture
content, penetration test, consolidation test, permeability, core cutting, All
types of Rock tests, chemical tests, concrete raw material tests, Concrete
design mix (in house & Third part Projects).
·
Collecting
samples such as rock, sand, and similar substances from the site.
·
Analyzing the
ground stress which includes capacity and stress levels.
·
Executing tests
on the samples and noting down the contamination values.
·
Designing the
projects based on the investigation performed.
·
Creating 2D and
3D models using computer applications.
·
Taking care of
geological hazards while planning the in house & third party project.
·
Setting budget
and time constraints on ground investigations.
·
Suggesting
necessary changes in the project as and when required with approval of HOD and
Engineering.
·
Performing basic
administrative tasks if required.
·
Taking approvals
by HOD before to finalizing all reports.
