Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
On top of that, you’ll have:

* Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering or a related discipline with at least 2 years experience.
* Illustrate a comprehensive understanding of geotechnical engineering and a personal pledge to uphold technical excellence
* Can work in a multi-disciplinary team
* Strong report writing and communication skills
* Determined, self-directed, and looking for opportunities to expand skills
