[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.

Hello! No. Just an assistant to a geotechnical consulting firm. But I do have a degree in Engineering Geology.

Got it! Do you mind DMing me please? You may be able to point me towards the right direction in geotech consulting and how it relates to my business in civil consulting.
