The Geotechnical Engineer is responsible for providing technical engineering support for URETEK’s ground-improvement, soil stabilization, underpinning, and structural remediation projects. The role combines geotechnical assessment, engineering design, site investigation, project support, and client engagement, with a strong focus on practical, cost-effective solutions for challenging ground conditions. Geotechnical Engineer is based in Vilnius office and works on projects across Baltics.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess geotechnical and structural problems including foundation settlement, ground instability, voids, weak soils, and differential movement.
• Review geotechnical reports, site investigation data, structural information, drawings, and monitoring results.
• Develop and assess ground-improvement solutions using URETEK technologies, including expanding polyurethane injection and related remediation techniques.
• Undertake engineering calculations, feasibility assessments, and technical designs.
• Prepare engineering reports, method statements, calculations, proposals, and technical documentation.
• Provide engineering input during project planning, estimating, and tendering.
• Attend project sites to investigate ground conditions, assess existing structures, and support construction activities.
• Work closely with project managers, construction teams, structural engineers, surveyors, consultants, and clients.
• Monitor project performance and evaluate treatment effectiveness using appropriate survey, instrumentation, and geotechnical data.
• Troubleshoot unexpected site or ground conditions and recommend appropriate engineering solutions.
• Ensure engineering work complies with relevant standards, legislation, health and safety requirements, and company procedures.
• Provide technical advice to clients and contribute to business development and pre-sales activities where required.
• Maintain accurate project records and contribute to continuous improvement of URETEK’s engineering methodologies.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 3+ years experience in geotechnical engineering, foundation engineering, ground improvement, construction, or structural remediation.
