Lead and manage the detailed design of tunnel structures, including TBM-bored tunnels and other tunnelling methods.
Develop and review designs for temporary works associated with tunnel construction, including tunnel support systems, shafts, and access structures.
Ensure designs comply with project specifications, local standards, and safety requirements. Assess geotechnical and structural risks, develop mitigation strategies, and implement safety protocols throughout the project lifecycle.
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams (MEP, structural, geotechnical, and environmental) to manage complex interfaces.
Provide expert guidance in troubleshooting design and construction challenges, leveraging extensive industry experience to optimize solutions.
Take a leadership role in technical meetings, providing clear, detailed insights to inform project decisions.
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related field.
Minimum of 20 years of experience in tunnel engineering, with a focus on detailed tunnel design projects.
Proficiency in tunnelling principles and design software (e.g., PLAXIS, FLAC, or similar).
In-depth knowledge of temporary works design, tunnel support systems, and geotechnical principles.
Strong understanding of safety standards, particularly in the context of tunneling and underground construction (NFPA, TSI,...).
Familiarity with relevant international codes and standards.
