We are seeking an experienced Geotechnical / Structural Design Engineer to join our team based in Hoppers Crossing.

n

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on basement construction, retention systems, deep excavation and temporary works. You will work closely with our project and site teams to develop practical, buildable and cost-effective engineering solutions.

n

Key Responsibilities :

n

n
- Design and review of basement retention and temporary works systems.
n
- Design of soldier pile and shotcrete walls, piled retention systems, ground anchors, walers, capping beams, steel propping and bracing.
n
- Review geotechnical investigations, ground conditions, groundwater and soil/rock design parameters.
n
- Assess earth pressures, surcharge loads, structural loads and excavation sequencing.
n
- Develop practical excavation, retention and propping methodologies.
n
- Review consultant designs and identify value engineering, buildability and cost-saving opportunities.
n
- Provide engineering support to project teams during construction.
n
- Undertake site inspections and resolve engineering issues as ground conditions are exposed.
n

About You n

You will ideally have:

n

n
- A Civil Engineering degree with structural and/or geotechnical experience.
n




- 5+ years' relevant experience, preferably involving basement construction.
n
- Strong experience with deep excavations, piling, retention systems, ground anchors and temporary works.
n
- An understanding of both geotechnical behaviour and structural design.
n
- Experience with engineering software such as PLAXIS, WALLAP, SpaceGass, Strand7 or similar.
n
- A practical understanding of construction methodology and sequencing.
n
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
n

Contractor-side experience in basement construction, piling, bulk excavation or temporary works will be highly regarded. n

The Opportunity

n

This position provides an opportunity to become closely involved in the engineering and construction methodology behind complex basement projects, rather than being limited to one narrow design discipline.

n

You will have the prospect to influence projects from early design and tender development through to excavation and completion of the basement structure.

n

You'll work alongside experienced construction personnel and have the ability to see your engineering solutions developed, priced and physically constructed on site.

n

The role would suit an engineer who enjoys solving difficult construction problems, challenging inefficient designs and developing solutions that balance:

n

Safety + Engineering + Buildability + Programme + Commercial Outcome

n

A competitive remuneration package will be offered based on experience and capability.
