Geotechnical Expert (M/F)

Description

Main duties

• 1. CONTEXT OF RECRUITMENT As part of the implementation of major road infrastructure projects, TALENTÉO CONSULTING SARL recruits a highly qualified Geotechnical Expert (M/F) on behalf of one of its clients. This recruitment is part of missions to control and supervise the construction, rehabilitation and reinforcement of asphalt pavements, particularly in environments with particular geotechnical constraints, such as wetland coastal areas. The aim is to ensure the quality of geotechnical studies, the conformity of materials used, soil stability and the sustainability of road infrastructure, in accordance with technical standards and project contractual requirements. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION The Geotechnical Expert will be responsible for the technical control, monitoring and supervision of geotechnical activities related to the construction and rehabilitation of asphalt pavements. It will ensure the quality of materials, the conformity of geotechnical tests, the stability of road platforms and compliance with the technical specifications applicable to different pavement layers. He will work in collaboration with VRD engineers, laboratory managers, construction companies and supervision teams to ensure the proper execution of the works. Particular attention will be paid to the constraints associated with wetland coastal areas, including the nature of the soils, the presence of water, drainage problems and the risks of premature road degradation.

Candidate profile

A. Geotechnical Studies and Investigations Examine and analyze geotechnical studies carried out in the context of road projects. Supervise the investigations and reconnaissance of the soil necessary to carry out the work. Evaluate the physical and mechanical characteristics of supporting floors. Identify geotechnical risks that may affect the stability and durability of roadways. Make technical recommendations adapted to the conditions of the field. B. Monitoring and supervision of pavement works Provide geotechnical control of construction, rehabilitation and reinforcement works of roadways. Check the conformity of materials used for foundation, base and bearing layers. Supervise platform preparation and soil compaction operations. Control the conditions of implementation of bituminous materials. Ensure compliance with technical requirements and standards applicable to road works. C. Quality control of materials and laboratory testing Oversee geotechnical tests performed on soils and building materials. Verify that the test results conform to the technical specifications of the project. Control the characteristics of aggregates, backfill materials and bituminous mixtures. Participate in the validation of the formulations of materials used for pavements. Identify non-conformities and recommend necessary corrective actions. D. Management of geotechnical constraints in humid coastal areas Analyse the stresses associated with water-saturated soils and high groundwater levels. Assess the risks of pavement settlement, instability and deformation. Propose technical solutions adapted to soils with low lift. Ensure that climatic and hydrogeological conditions are taken into account in the execution of the work. Contribute to improving the durability of structures in humid environments. E. Technical follow-up and coordination of work Collaborate with the technical teams responsible for monitoring and supervising the work. Participate in site meetings and coordination meetings. Provide technical expertise in the resolution of geotechnical difficulties encountered. Verify the correct application of recommendations from geotechnical studies and tests. Monitor the implementation of corrective measures decided on construction sites. F. Reporting and technical documentation Develop periodic geotechnical monitoring and control reports. Prepare inspection reports and test analysis reports. Produce technical advice on the quality of soils and materials. Ensure traceability of the results of tests and controls carried out. Make recommendations to improve the quality and sustainability of infrastructure.
