You'll:
* Deliver advanced geotechnical analysis and numerical modelling, from concept through to construction
* Build, run and interpret models using PLAXIS 2D/3D or similar tools
* Apply strong soil and rock mechanics knowledge to real-world engineering problems
* Partner with fellow engineers to develop robust, defensible designs
* Translate complex analysis into clear, client-ready insights and reports
* Support and contribute to major transport, tunnelling, mining and infrastructure projects
* Balance technical excellence with programme, budget and quality outcomes
* Get out on site when needed to stay connected to the ground conditions behind the models

* Relevant experience as a Geotechnical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Rock Mechanics Engineer, Geomechanics Engineer, or in a related position preferred
* Strong numerical modelling for geotechnical applications
* Strong capability in finite element modelling
* Solid grounding in geotechnical analysis and design
