Sr. Engineer (Laboratory) (Geotechnical) - Central Africa

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.

·                       Expertise in geology, climatology, chemistry, and mathematics.
