Geotechnical/tunneling/geological Engineer

Tunnelling

Arup's purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

The Opportunity • Prepare desk study reports on sites due for development • Use and manage subsurface information database systems • Observe construction site works and geotechnical investigations • Undertake geological mapping and rock mass classification on site • Log soil/rock materials and interpret subsurface conditions to aid design and determine the most appropriate method of construction • Write specifications for site investigation programs and prepare laboratory test schedules • Carry-out shallow and deep foundation design, slope stability calculations, and seismic assessments • Support the completion of temporary support-of-excavation designs, including for basements, shafts, and cut-and-cover tunnels/subway stations • Conduct preliminary ground movement predictions, hydrogeological impact and building damage assessments • Carry out empirical, analytical, and numerical analyses for purposes of tunnel and shaft design (initial support and final lining) for various tunnel construction methods such as drill and blast, sequential excavation method, or TBM bored • Interpret and organize design results into project documentation such as Technical Drawings, Interpretive, or Baseline Reports, or Basis of Design reports • Use tunnel design and rock mechanics software such as FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC, RocScience, or FracMan • Undertake linear and non-linear structural analysis of shotcrete and concrete tunnel linings based on Code requirements using first principles or structural design software packages (SAP, GSA). Make use of automation and established workflows to follow best practice. Develop workflows and ideas for automation where none exist • Work in multidisciplinary teams (e.g. structural, civil, bridges & civil structures) for delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects for transportation, water/wastewater, or mining.
