Engineer- Geotechnical

Do you want to work with a global team of experts working on some of the most challenging projects? Do you have experience in geotechnical analysis and design of underground structures? Then join us and we can be outstanding together!

TURN CHALLENGES INTO SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

As an Engineer, you will join our global team of experts and will report to the head of the Geotechnical Section within the Tunnels and Underground Structures department. You will be performing analysis, providing design and preparing reports for tunnels, bridges and various underground structures, such as shafts, immersed tunnels, cut-and-cover tunnels, TBM tunnels and deep excavations for transportation and other infrastructures works. You will perform analysis and design of foundations, earthworks, ground improvement and various earth retaining solutions. You will carry out ground movement assessment and building damage impact assessment due to tunnelling and deep excavations and assist in proposals of instrumentation and monitoring. You will extensively use advanced geotechnical  analysis for complex problems. You will be working under own initiative with supervision of more experienced engineers in this role. You will be applying foundational engineering concepts on assigned tasks through mentored experience.

On a day-to-day basis you will:

• Deliver tasks under some supervision in the specific work area.


• Compile design documents including reports, memoranda, calculations and drawings.


• Write parts of (or whole) reports or documents under supervision.


• Liaise with other disciplines within the Tunnels and Underground Structures team and other business units and disciplines within COWI.


• Implement quality processes and procedures.


• Follow-up on own learning objectives (i.e. development plans/goals) for the professional area.


• Be responsible for successful management and delivery of tasks in terms of budget, quality and timelines.

YOUR SKILLS. OUR TEAM. TOGETHER WE DESIGN THE FUTURE

The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, internal/external partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

Furthermore, to align with the organisation's overarching driver of technical excellence, you should:

• Hold a master’s degree within Civil / Geotechnical Engineering


• Have 3-7 years of project design experience in carrying out analysis and design of tunnels, shafts, deep excavations, foundations, ground improvement, retaining solutions and earthworks including siesmic design


• Experience in ground movement assessment, building damage impact assessment and geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring would be a plus


• Have proficiency in application of advanced geotechnical analysis software, such as Plaxis or FLAC


• Have proficiency in geotechnical analysis and design software like SLOPE/W  GROUP, LPile, etc


• Possess knowledge of working with international codes (BS, EURO and API, etc.)


• Working experience within Scandinavian, North American and / or UK markets would be preferred


• Demonstrate impeccable English communication skills – verbal and written


• Be self-driven and intrinsically motivated to make a positive difference for the team, COWI and yourself


• Manoeuvre and collaborate seamlessly across geographical and cultural boundaries
