Develop and review rock support, concrete and steel lining, and pressure-containment concepts for underground works.
Provide technical guidance on engineering geology, rock mass characterization, in-situ stress, and geotechnical design parameters.
Define design criteria, analysis methods, excavation and support concepts, construction sequencing, and technical requirement
Lead technical reviews, constructability, value engineering, and risk assessments, and review key design deliverables.
Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and mentor engineers supporting tunnel and underground structure design.
Serve as a technical lead and subject matter expert for major underground infrastructure, hydropower, and pumped-storage projects.
