* Job Description:

**** DESCRIPTION
* * Reporting directly to the Head of the Geotechnical Department with Engineering Services and to the Design Manager at Project level, the Geotechnical Design Manager will:
* Manage a small team of Project Geotechnical Engineers during the Tender phase, the design phase and the construction phase.
* Support the conceptual design, engineering analysis, procurement and construction of major infrastructure projects, including but not limited to highways, bridges, tunnels, underground works and any other heavy civil works, from a geotechnical perspective.
* Supervision of technical work performed by others pertaining to solving geotechnical design problems and high-level review of design calculations
* Check and review routine geotechnical study proposals and reports prepared by others, including proposal for new field investigations during Tender phase or construction phase (geotechnical borings, field testing works, geophysical investigations, laboratory testing… etc)
* Review of specialized geotechnical reports (with special emphasis on roadway works), including but not limited to ground characterization, foundations of bridges or other minor structures, temporary support of excavations, required ground improvement, embankment and slope design, subgrade design under pavement, retaining wall design, sound wall foundation design, soil and rock reinforcement, design of underground excavations, etc.
* Analyze ground movement predictions, construction impact assessment reports, and strategies for mitigation of geotechnical risks.
* Propose and analyze instrumentation systems for monitoring ground movement and its implementation.
* Development of an schedule for all activities associated with geotechnical works, such as site investigations and geotechnical design deliverables
* At Project level, provide support to the design team led by the Design Manager; from tender/concept design through design basis and detailed design phases.
* Discuss with the Client / Owner and with the Designer’s geotechnical specialists on particular geotechnical topics. Support the collaborative efforts with all the parties to solve complex geotechnical issues, related to modeling, soil structure interaction, ground improvement, risk mitigation and other topics.
* Ensure all geotechnical designs are in accordance with the Ferrovial Group’s standards, the Contract requirements and the applicable geotechnical standards.
* Provide technical input to the Risk matrix for those risks of a geotechnical origin, as well as to other documents to be internally developed by Ferrovial at Project level during Tender stage.
* Ensure that geotechnical principles and analyses are appropriately understood and applied in the design, including those related to complex soil and structure interaction modelling.
* Review the work of more junior geotechnical engineers and specialized Consultants engaged in the project development, engineering and design.
* Support the efforts for creating analytical two and three-dimensional models and also FEM models, when necessary, under the direction from the Design Manager.
* Ensure that geotechnical inputs to the BOQ are precise, well defined, back-up is clearly explained, and there…
