About the Role
Field Engineering & Execution plan and sequence SEM rounds (drift headings, face support, shotcrete cycles). Coordinate SOE systems (soldier piles/lagging, secant/diaphragm walls, sheet piles, tiebacks/soil nails, struts/walers). Oversee excavation activities, temporary works, utility protections, and traffic staging. Monitor geotechnical instrumentation (extensometers, piezometers, inclinometers, load cells); interpret trends and escalate exceedances. Support dewatering plans and groundwater management in accordance with permits and discharge limits. Lead ITPs, hold points, trials (e.g., shotcrete panels/cores), material approvals, and field quality records. Conduct face mapping, ground classification, and daily reports (advance, support installed, stand-up time, incidents).
