The Geotechnical Engineer will establish the ground engineering basis needed for safe, economical, and durable infrastructure design. The position converts borehole records, CPT data, laboratory testing, geological information, groundwater observations, and site investigations into reliable design parameters and engineering recommendations. Working across airport and infrastructure disciplines, the engineer will help control risks associated with settlement, bearing capacity, unstable slopes, weak subgrades, groundwater, excavation, and variable ground conditions before they create significant construction or asset-performance problems.

• Interpret geotechnical investigation reports, borehole logs, CPT results, laboratory testing, geological records, groundwater information, and other site investigation data.
• Develop geotechnical assessments, engineering calculations, design reports, specifications, criteria, and technical recommendations.
• Establish appropriate soil and rock engineering parameters based on investigation results, laboratory data, geological conditions, and project requirements.
• Perform and review bearing capacity, settlement, differential settlement, slope stability, earth pressure, excavation, and groundwater analyses.
• Provide geotechnical design input for shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, embankments, slopes, pavements, earthworks, utilities, and underground infrastructure.
• Review existing investigation coverage and identify gaps, inconsistencies, uncertainties, and additional data required to support reliable design.
• Define supplementary investigation requirements including boreholes, trial pits, CPTs, groundwater monitoring, field investigations, and laboratory testing.
• Prepare and review geotechnical design criteria and confirm engineering assumptions remain appropriate as additional information becomes available.
• Review consultant and contractor geotechnical calculations, drawings, reports, specifications, and technical submissions.
• Evaluate foundation recommendations for buildings, airport facilities, infrastructure structures, and other significant assets.
• Assess pavement subgrade conditions, C  values, support characteristics, and geotechnical parameters used for airfield and roadway pavement design.
• Develop recommendations for engineered fill, capping layers, earthworks, subgrade treatment, soil stabilization and ground improvement.
• Assess alternative ground improvement methods against actual ground conditions, design loads, performance criteria, constructability, and long-term requirements.
• Review retaining wall, embankment, slope, excavation support, and temporary works proposals from a geotechnical perspective.
• Assess groundwater conditions and develop recommendations covering seepage, dewatering, drainage, uplift, and groundwater control.
• Coordinate geotechnical requirements associated with tunnels, culverts, drainage structures, utility corridors, foundations, and other below-ground assets.
• Provide technical input to value…
