We are seeking an experienced Tunnel Engineer to support the delivery of complex underground infrastructure projects from concept through to construction and completion. This role will involve applying sound engineering principles to the planning, design, construction, inspection and maintenance of tunnels, shafts, caverns and associated underground structures. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, designers and stakeholders to ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, sustainably and in accordance with approved specifications.
Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing technical documentation, design calculations, drawings, specifications, risk assessments and construction methodologies. You will provide engineering advice on tunnelling methods, ground conditions, temporary works, excavation support, lining systems, waterproofing, ventilation and underground construction interfaces. The role will also involve monitoring site activities, reviewing contractor submissions, investigating technical issues, supporting progress and quality inspections, and contributing to the resolution of design or construction challenges. You may be required to assist with surveys, site investigations, audits, technical reports and project planning, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, standards and health and safety requirements.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, structural, mining or geotechnical engineering, with demonstrable experience in tunnelling or major underground construction. Knowledge of tunnelling techniques, ground behaviour, tunnel support systems, construction sequencing and risk management is essential. Experience with design and project management software, technical reviews and construction quality assurance would be advantageous. Professional registration or progress towards professional accreditation is desirable. You should be analytical, practical and confident communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The ability to manage competing priorities, work collaboratively and make well-informed decisions in a demanding project environment is essential. A commitment to safety, quality, environmental responsibility and continuous improvement is expected.
