  • Knowledge of relevant standards, guidelines and tools used in geotechnical engineering.
  • Experience with work methodology and processes within the different projects phases, knowledgeable of the technical challenges around numerical modeling and necessary interdisciplinary interaction.

Who are you?

  • Strong ability and desire to help develop and build a new section.
  • You thrive on an agile day of the week where no two days are the same.
