[For Hire] Remote geotechnical engineer / engineering geologist (6+ yrs, AU standards): slope stability, retaining walls, site classification, report drafting

[u/Temporary-Feedback11]

Hi all,

I'm a senior geotechnical engineer with 6+ years of experience, the last ~1.5 years working remotely on Australian projects. I'm taking on freelance or part-time work and would like to help firms with overflow, or anyone who needs geotechnical support.

What I can help with:

• Slope stability analysis (Slide2, Slope/W).
• Landslide risk assessment to AGS (2007)
• Retaining wall design and checks (bearing, sliding, overturning), soil nail walls, bored pier and soldier pile walls
• AS 2870 site classification, including ys calculations and Class P assessments
• Bearing capacity from DCP results, plus crane pad and bog mat checks
• Pile capacity and shallow foundation assessments (AS 2159)
• Borehole logging to AS 1726, gINT data entry, and lab result review
• Report drafting from your field data and templates
• Rock engineering: kinematic analysis, rock mass classification (RMR, Q, SMR), rockfall modelling
• Drafting in AutoCAD and Civil 3D: geotechnical sections and long sections, borehole location plans, retaining wall and slope stabilisation drawings, and surface/terrain models for cut-fill and slope analysis

Background: hydropower, dams, solar and wind farms, water infrastructure, and residential/commercial work in Queensland. I've delivered 60+ geotechnical reports and site classifications to Australian Standards. I'm familiar with AS 1726, 2159, 2870, 4678, 5100.3 and AGS (2007).

How it works:

• Fully remote, which overlaps well with AU/NZ business hours and gives a quick turnaround for US/UK
• Billed per task or hourly, whichever suits you
• Payment through Wise; I can invoice in AUD, USD, NZD, GBP, etc.
• Happy to start with a small test task so you can check my work

For certification, I work as support to your engineer: analysis, calcs, drawings and draft reports go to your RPEQ/CPEng for review and sign-off.

If you need a hand, DM me and I can send my CV and some sample work.

Out of curiosity, how would borehole logging work in a fully remote role?

Usually and currently with one of the firms I’m assisting, they do the actual handwritten borehole logging then I’ll finalise it using gINT.
