About Geotechnical Tunneling Jobs
Our geotechnical engineers work on a wide range of challenging work, including large infrastructure projects for rail, highway and water schemes, and large building projects. Often working in complex multidisciplinary teams, geotechnical engineers draw on both geological and civil engineering skills to carry out desk studies and ground investigations to define ground conditions, groundwater levels, and seismic conditions. These results are then used to begin construction.
