Summary
A competent engineering geologist with extensive experience, skills, and attributes is sought for a rewarding role in the geotechnical field. Equipped with sound knowledge in detailed technical analysis of earth materials and the risk assessment of geological hazards, effectively ensuring that geological factors affecting engineering works are properly identified and dealt with. Expert in conducting geophysical and geotechnical tests, which include Core sampling, standard penetration test, undisturbed sampling, seismic borehole test (cross-hole, up-hole, and down-hole), plate bearing test, monitoring well installation, and pressure meter test. Strategic with high-level analytical aptitude, problem-solving capabilities, and a zest for shaping challenges into concrete achievements, I'm heavily relied upon for valuable opinions in planning and key decision-making. Consistently achieving set targets, developing strategic plans, streamlining operations, and establishing improvements that drive work efficiency is remarkable.
