Advanced stress-strain deformation and settlement analyses;
Geostructural design numerical analysis including complex soil and rock constitutive models and structural elements components;
Geotechnical and geostructural foundations design (shallow, raft and deep piles, helical piles, drive piles, cast-in situ piles, etc.) for small to large scale structures including buildings, facilities, bridges, embankments, transmission towers, wind towers, etc.;
Ground improvement design including pre-loading; wick/EQ drains; CMC; micro-piles; dynamic compaction; vibrocompaction; vibrostone columns; soil-mixing; various grouting; etc.;
Shoring and excavation support for temporary and permanent support including shafts, basements, underground access;
Tunnelling and trenchless works in all types of soil and rock conditions, SEM, NATM geostructural design, HDD, pipe ramming, pipe jacking, microtunnelling, etc.;
Reinforced soils engineered including gravity, MSE and Soil Nail walls systems;
Construction and permanent groundwater control/dewatering requirements including seepage assessment and cut-off wall design;
Geohazard assessment, slope stabilization and embankment design; and
Geotechnical support to design of dams, ponds, tailings and other retention systems including associated structures such as gravity-fed water channels, etc.
Qualifications
University graduate with a degree in geotechnical, geological or civil (geotechnical) engineering;
Possess EGBC registration (P.Eng. license)
Minimum 15 to 20 years of experience in Geotechnical/Geostructural engineering field, at least 10 of those years in consulting engineering in British Columbia
Experience with Detailed Design, Design Build and Owner’s Engineer Technical Advisor and Technical Peer Review role;
Geotechnical seismic design including site specific response analysis, liquefaction analysis, fully coupled dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis and geostructural foundation, lateral support and ground treatment design;
Capability in and directing numerical modelling using Plaxis, RS2/3, FLAC, Group/LPile, DeepX and other advanced capable geotechnical and geostructural software suites;
Proficiency with current geotechnical software applications including GeoStudio (Slope/W, Sigma/W, etc.) and Rocscience (Slide2/3, Settle3);
Good knowledge of local, national and international regulations (codes and standards) and technical references in geotechnical, geostructural, dams and tunnelling design for different types applications and structures;
Ability to lead, manage, direct and cooperate with a team in various environments, as well as work independently;
Strong written and oral communication (English) skills;
Strong attention to detail;
Strong analytical/technical, and report writing skills;
Desire to provide excellent, practical client service and a commitment to technical excellence;
Must be well organized, have the ability to manage and prioritize several assignments at one time, deliver on time and to budget;
