Principal Geotechnical Engineer - Dubai

Full-time

Ramboll

Your key tasks and responsibilities will be:

  • Leading the provision of geostructures advice and design to a multi-disciplinary project team taking technical and commercial geotechnical delivery for projects
  • Supervising the planning and delivery of Geostructures analysis using various proprietary tools
  • Guiding less experienced engineers to deliver analysis and design
  • Assisting in the career development of others
  • Providing new ideas or approaches to ground engineering challenges
  • Carrying out research and development of new ideas and products to enable Ramboll to provide sustainable solutions for society
  • Carrying out technical and commercial bidding for new projects and contracts
  • Supporting the team leader to build the Geostructures business in Denmark and overseas.  

Qualifications :

From the moment you join Ramboll we will support your personal and professional development so that you grow with the company. For this role we believe your starting point is:

  • Good quality BEng degree with reasonable geotechnical engineering or engineering geology content

  • Proven ability to guide and supervise complex analyses retaining structures or complex foundations
  • Past experience of rock engineering and/or geo-seismic engineering would be a benefit
  • Good written and oral communication skills in English and Danish or German

Personal qualities that will help you succeed in this role include: ability to investigate new ideas and not rely on tried and trusted methods; good oral communication skills to enable interaction with colleagues of varying experience and background both in person and online; willingness to supervise and develop less experienced engineers; desire to identify and deliver growth within the existing business.
