    POSITION OVERVIEW

    The Senior Engineer, Geotechnical reports to the Manager, Civil Engineering and will be responsible for providing full-time senior level geotechnical engineering guidance and assistance, construction oversight, and operations support, for managed projects within the E&C department during Pre-FEED, FEED, Construction, Commissioning and Start-Up project stages.

Ad-hoc interfaces with internal stakeholders may also include corporate development & strategy, project controls, finance, procurement, contracts, tax, insurance, land, legal and senior management.
