Key Accountabilities
Develop geotechnical engineering projects from the preliminary phase to detailed design, as well as technical control of projects developed by other parties under the supervision of a principal engineer or managing engineer. Design foundation/retaining structures (bearing capacity, settlement, soil–structure interaction), slope stability, underground structures design, and other geotechnical topics. Develop finite element or difference models for static and dynamic analyses. Obtain soil and rock samples to determine compressibility, efficiency, strength, and other factors that affect the structure's behavior. Develop project schedules and deliverable timelines under the supervision of more experienced engineers. Prepare technical deliverables (technical reports, project performance documentation, and engineering drawings, etc.). Prepare progress technical reports. Be aware of and understand the Quality Policy and ensure that all assigned activities are executed in accordance with the RINA QMS. Education
