Civil Engineer (m/f/d)

Civil Engineer (m/f/d)

Role:

On behalf of a client, we are seeking a qualified specialist in geotechnics, engineering geology, and geotechnical project management within a specialised engineering and consulting environment. You will take on diverse tasks in the areas of ground investigations, foundation and excavation planning, geotechnical calculations, as well as site supervision, and support demanding infrastructure and building projects. The focus is on geotechnics, hydrogeology, natural hazards, numerical calculations with PLAXIS, as well as modern CAD and digital planning methods. The position offers a varied field of activity including fieldwork, technical analyses, and project planning tasks for public and private clients, especially in road and rail infrastructure construction.

Responsibilities:

• Geotechnical project management and engineering geology for demanding building, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects in road and rail construction

• Planning and execution of ground investigations including soundings, drilling, field tests, sampling, and geotechnical surveys

• Preparation of geotechnical reports and ground investigation reports with evaluation of soil parameters, ground models, and geological investigation results

• Design and dimensioning of foundations including shallow and deep foundations, pile foundations, settlement calculations, and bearing capacity verifications

• Excavation planning and excavation support with dimensioning of excavation closures, anchors, support structures, and slope stabilisations

• Geotechnical calculations and numerical modelling with PLAXIS as well as other geotechnical calculation and CAD programmes

• Hydrogeological investigations and groundwater management including assessment of groundwater conditions, dewatering, and impacts on construction projects

• Natural hazard analyses and protective measures including dealing with slope instabilities, landslides, rockfall, and other geological hazards

• Geotechnical monitoring and measurement including settlement, deformation, inclinometer, and groundwater measurements as well as evaluation of measurement results

• Site supervision and construction monitoring with geotechnical oversight of excavation works, foundations, excavation support, and specialised deep foundation works

• Project coordination and technical consulting for clients, engineering offices, authorities, and public infrastructure operators in road and rail sectors

• Technical documentation and project reports including calculation verifications, measurement protocols, risk analyses, and geotechnical recommendations

Qualifications:

• Completed degree from a university of applied sciences, ETH, or university in civil engineering, geotechnics, geology, engineering geology, or a comparable field

• Initial professional experience in geotechnics, engineering geology, or specialised deep foundation engineering is an advantage; also suitable for recent graduates with relevant specialisation

• Expertise in soil mechanics, ground investigations, foundation engineering, and excavation support as well as basics of geotechnical design

• Knowledge of Swiss SIA standards, especially SIA 260, SIA 261, and SIA 267, as well as relevant geotechnical investigation and calculation methods

• Very good user skills in Microsoft Office and CAD, ideally complemented by PLAXIS, GIS, or comparable geotechnical calculation software

• Willingness to perform fieldwork, site assignments, and geotechnical measurements; driving licence category B is an advantage

• Very good German language skills in spoken and written form for geotechnical reports, technical documentation, and professional project coordination

• Attractive training and development opportunities
• Interesting and varied activities/projects
• Experienced and dynamic team
• Market- and performance-based salaries
