Key Accountabilities Develop geotechnical engineering projects from the preliminary phase to the detailed design, as well as the technical control of projects developed by other parties under the supervision of a principal engineer or a managing engineer. Design of foundation/retaining structures (bearing capacity, settlement, soil–structure interaction), slope stability, underground structures design and other geotechnical topics. Develop finite element or difference models for static and dynamic analyses. Obtain soil and rock samples to determine compressibility, efficiency, strength and other factors that affect the structure’s behaviour. Develop project schedules and deliverable timelines under the supervision of more experienced engineers. Prepare technical deliverables (technical reports, project performance documentation, engineering drawings, etc.). Prepare progress technical reports. Be aware and understand the Quality Policy and ensure that all assigned activities are executed in accordance with the RINA QMS.

Technical Skills: Proficiency in geotechnical engineering principles and practices, with a strong background in foundation and retaining structure design, slope stability analysis, underground structures design, and other geotechnical topics. Experience in developing finite element or difference models for static and dynamic analyses. Ability to interpret results from laboratory testing to determine compressibility, strength, and other factors affecting structure behavior. Experience in the use of the main geotechnics software packages (Plaxis, Gint, GRLWeap, DeepSoil) or programming languages is a plus. Availability: Willingness to join offshore campaigns on board vessels/platforms for a maximum continuous period of 30-40 days (1-2 times during a year) and perform onshore and offshore geotechnical assessments, including foundation design (shallow/deep), soil-structure interaction, pipe/cable-soil interaction assessments, and geohazard related engineering assessments.
