Geotechnical Engineering

AFRY is hiring a Geotechnical Engineer to join its Hydropower team in Bangkok, supporting dam, hydropower, and renewable energy infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia. The role provides geotechnical engineering support across project stages, from site investigations and design through to construction, focusing on foundations, slope stability, underground works, seepage assessments, and ground improvement. The position works closely with senior engineers, engineering geologists, and multidisciplinary project teams to assess ground conditions, identify geotechnical risks, and develop practical engineering solutions.

The successful candidate will assist with planning and interpreting geotechnical investigations, perform analyses such as bearing capacity, settlement, slope stability, and seepage assessments, support foundation treatment and ground improvement works, and provide site support during excavation and tunnelling. The role also involves preparing technical reports including GFR, GIR, and GBR, coordinating with contractors and consultants, and following project HSE requirements.

Assist in planning and interpreting geological and geotechnical investigations, including borehole logging, rock core assessment, rock mass classification, groundwater evaluation, and identification of geological hazards

Assess soil and rock conditions and provide geotechnical input for dam foundations, tunnels, underground caverns, powerhouses, slopes, and excavations

Perform geotechnical analyses and support design assessments, including bearing capacity, foundation stability, settlement, slope stability, groundwater, seepage, and ground improvement

Support foundation treatment and ground improvement works, including consolidation grouting, curtain grouting, and seepage control measures

Provide site support during excavation, tunnelling, and foundation preparation, documenting actual ground conditions and identifying deviations from design assumptions

Bachelor's or master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Geotechnology, Engineering Geology, or a related field

Approximately 4-6 years of relevant professional experience in geotechnical engineering, preferably in dams, hydropower, underground structures, tunnelling, or major infrastructure projects

Experience in geotechnical investigations, subsurface data interpretation, soil and rock mass characterization, and selection of geotechnical design parameters

Working knowledge of geotechnical analysis and design, including foundation stability, bearing capacity, settlement, slope stability, seepage, and ground improvement

Knowledge of relevant geotechnical investigation and design standards; willingness to undertake site visits and project assignments
