CAREER : GEOLOGIST


Engineering Geologist : Roles & Responsibilities
  • Carrying out detail geological logging and mapping;
  • Preparation of desk study reports including review of geological maps and aerial photographs;
  • Ground investigation - scoping, specifying fieldworks;
  • Check and verify field test data, samples, laboratory test results and prepare factual report.
  • Soil and rock mass strength characteristics for planning and design of cuts, fill embankments, pipelines, tunnels, foundations for structures, and drainage facilities
  • Experience in slope stabilization, land reclamation, ground improvement, deep excavation works and usage of Finite Element software (e.g. PLAXIS) would be an added advantage.
  • Proficient in using related engineering softwares such as Autocad, GeoStudio, DIPS, RockFall Analysis, Surfer, PDS or other related software;
  • Collation and assessment of data and production of geotechnical interpretative reports including engineering parameters and considerations;
  • Ensure accurate scheduling reports are generated through standard planning procedures.

  • Plan and conduct geological, geochemical and geophysical mapping and surveys, sample collection, and drilling.
  • prepare goelogical maps, cross-sectional diagrams,charts,and report concerning mineral extraction.
  • Plan for exploration of sites for minerals and ores
  • Survey and mapping geologically promising sites
  • Prepare technical report for mining, engineering and management personnel
  • Examine maps, drilling locations or mines to determine the location, size, accessibility, contents, value and potential profitability of minerals and ores
  • specifying processes, labor usage and equipment that will result in safe, economical and environmentally sound extraction of minerals and ores
  • Monitor resource and grade control drilling program
