About the Opportunity

Parsons Corporation is seeking a Geotechnical Engineer Design to join its team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This full-time position requires a professional with extensive experience in geotechnical engineering design, contributing to a diverse range of infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and interpret geotechnical investigation reports, borehole logs, laboratory results, geological information, and site investigation data.
• Develop and review geotechnical engineering assessments, calculations, technical reports, and recommendations.
• Provide geotechnical input to the design of foundations, retaining structures, earthworks, embankments, slopes, pavements, utilities, and underground infrastructure.
• Perform and review geotechnical analyses related to bearing capacity, settlement, slope stability, earth pressures, excavation, and groundwater conditions.
• Assess soil and rock parameters and develop appropriate engineering design parameters based on available investigation data.
• Review geotechnical investigation scopes and provide recommendations for additional investigations where required.
• Define requirements for boreholes, trial pits, CPTs, laboratory testing, groundwater monitoring, and other geotechnical investigations.
• Review geotechnical data for adequacy, consistency, and suitability for engineering design.
• Identify gaps, uncertainties, and risks within existing geotechnical information and recommend appropriate mitigation measures.
• Prepare and review geotechnical design criteria, calculations, specifications, and technical reports.
• Review geotechnical design packages, drawings, calculations, and technical submissions prepared by consultants and contractors.
• Provide technical review and comments on foundation design and ground conditions for buildings, structures, infrastructure, and airport facilities.
• Provide geotechnical engineering input to pavement design and assessment, including subgrade conditions, CBR values, pavement support parameters, and ground improvement requirements.
• Review requirements for earthworks, engineered fill, capping layers, subgrade treatment, and soil stabilization.
• Assess the suitability of proposed ground improvement techniques based on project conditions and performance requirements.
• Review and evaluate geotechnical design proposals for retaining walls, slopes, embankments, excavation support, and temporary works.
• Assess groundwater conditions and provide engineering recommendations related to dewatering, seepage, drainage, and groundwater control.
• Coordinate geotechnical aspects of underground utilities, tunnels, culverts, drainage structures, and other below-ground infrastructure.
• Provide geotechnical input to value engineering initiatives and alternative design proposals.
• Review proposed alternative materials, foundation systems, ground improvement methods, and construction solutions from a geotechnical perspective.
• Support technical responses to Requests for Information (RFIs), Technical Queries (TQs), Design Change Requests, and engineering clarifications.
• Investigate and provide engineering recommendations for unforeseen ground conditions encountered during construction.
• Review geotechnical-related Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and provide technical recommendations for corrective actions.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure geotechnical requirements are incorporated into the overall design.
• Participate in design reviews, technical workshops, constructability reviews, and interdisciplinary coordination meetings.
• Provide technical support to Construction teams regarding the interpretation and implementation of geotechnical design requirements.
• Review contractor and specialist subcontractor geotechnical proposals and engineering submissions.
• Monitor geotechnical engineering risks and identify potential impacts on design, construction, cost, and schedule.
• Ensure geotechnical engineering deliverables comply with project requirements, applicable codes, standards, and Client specifications.

Airport and Airfield Infrastructure Focus

• Provide geotechnical engineering support for runway, taxiway, apron, airfield pavement, roads, utilities, drainage, and external infrastructure.
• Review geotechnical investigation and design requirements associated with major airport facilities and airfield infrastructure.
• Assess subgrade and foundation conditions for runways, taxiways, aprons, roads, and associated pavement systems.
• Provide engineering recommendations for weak or variable subgrade conditions and ground improvement requirements.
• Review geotechnical parameters used in airfield pavement and infrastructure design.
• Assess settlement, differential settlement, bearing capacity, and ground stability risks associated with airport infrastructure.
• Provide geotechnical engineering input to major foundation systems, including shallow and deep foundations where applicable.
• Review geotechnical requirements for fuel systems, utility corridors, drainage networks, culverts, and underground infrastructure.
• Support the engineering assessment of embankments, slopes, retaining structures, and earthworks associated with airfield and infrastructure development.
• Coordinate geotechnical requirements with pavement, civil, structural, utilities, and infrastructure engineering disciplines.
• Ensure geotechnical risks affecting airport operations, critical infrastructure, and long-term asset performance are appropriately considered in the design.
