We are looking for an Engineering Geologist to join our multidisciplinary team of professionals working on infrastructure, environmental, and construction projects. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of geological principles and their application in engineering contexts. You will be responsible for assessing ground conditions, evaluating geological risks, and providing recommendations to ensure the safety and feasibility of construction and development projects.
As an Engineering Geologist, you will conduct site investigations, analyze soil and rock samples, and interpret geotechnical data to support the design and construction of buildings, roads, tunnels, dams, and other infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with civil engineers, environmental scientists, and project managers to deliver comprehensive geological assessments that inform project planning and execution.
Your role will also involve preparing detailed technical reports, managing fieldwork logistics, and ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations. You may be required to use specialized software for modeling and mapping geological features, as well as to present findings to stakeholders and regulatory bodies.
This position requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. A background in geology, earth sciences, or a related field is essential, along with experience in geotechnical or engineering geology. Fieldwork may involve travel and working in challenging environments, so adaptability and physical stamina are important.
If you are passionate about geology and its practical applications in engineering, and you thrive in dynamic, project-driven environments, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
