What are the career prospects for geotechnical engineers?
M.Mathan Kumar Thanjavur Geotechnical engineers apply the sciences of soil and rock mechanics, engineering geology, and other disciplines to civil engineering design and construction, whilst working to preserve and protect the physical environment. They work in areas such as site investigation, foundation engineering, and tunnelling. Activities include: gathering data using specialist computer software;creating analytical two and three-dimensional models;making complex calculations in planning or assessing structures. Geotechnical engineers use the skills of analysis to provide highly accurate calculations. Working in a team alongside geological engineers and hydro geologists, they focus on providing information for and solutions to a specific client’s project. Apart from consulting firms, geotechnical engineers can find work in contractors’ firms that specialise in geotechnical and civil work, research organisations and companies that manufacture geotechnical products.
