The Opportunity

A Geo-Seismic Engineer integrates geotechnical engineering with earthquake engineering to assess, design, and mitigate seismic risks for infrastructure projects. The role involves analysing soil–structure interaction under seismic loading, evaluating ground hazards, and recommending seismic-resilient foundation and ground-improvement strategies.

Key Responsibilities :

A. Seismic Hazard & Ground Response

  • PSHA/DSHA assessments

  • Site-specific response spectra (IS 1893, ASCE 7, etc.)

  • 1D/2D ground response analyses (SHAKE, DEEPSOIL, PLAXIS, FLAC)

    • B. Geotechnical Seismic Analysis

  • Liquefaction, cyclic softening, settlement, lateral spreading

  • Seismic slope stability (pseudo-static/dynamic)

  • Bearing capacity & foundation response

  • Soil–structure interaction (SSI) for infrastructure

    • C. Design & Recommendations

  • Seismic design criteria for foundations, retaining structures, tunnels, dams, critical facilities

  • Ground improvement (stone columns, PVDs, compaction, grouting)

  • Microzonation inputs, mitigation plans, geotechnical design reports

    • D. Data & Reporting

  • Interpretation of geotechnical/geophysical data (MASW, CSW, SPT, CPT, Vs)

  • Technical reports, design notes, client presentations

    • E. Project Coordination

  • Collaboration with structural/geotechnical/geophysical teams

  • Client meetings, design reviews, site visits

  • Compliance with IS codes, Eurocode 8, FEMA, and global standards

    • Is this role right for you?

    We'd love to hear from you if you have -

  • B.Tech/BE in Civil Engineering (M.Tech/MS in Geotechnical/Earthquake Engineering preferred)

  • 2–10+ years’ experience with strong knowledge of soil dynamics, earthquake engineering, and foundation design

  • Proficiency in seismic analysis tools (PLAXIS, FLAC, SHAKE2000/DEEPSOIL, OpenSees, GeoStudio, SLOPE/W, QUAD4M)

  • Familiarity with seismic geophysics (Vs30, attenuation, site classification) and interpretation of CPT, SCPT, MASW, downhole/crosshole data

  • Strong analytical/problem-solving skills, technical writing, coordination ability, and strict code compliance

  • Experience in applications

  • Infrastructure consulting (metro, ports, bridges, highways)
  • Oil & gas, offshore & onshore geotechnics
  • Power plants, industrial plants
  • Dam engineering and hydropower

  • Disaster management and seismic micro zonation projects

    Key Deliverables

    Seismic hazard reports, Ground response analyses, Liquefaction and cyclic strength reports, Seismic design parameters for foundations

    • Reward and Benefits

    We offer a competitive salary at all levels, and one of the best benefits packages in our sector. Core benefits include Provident Fund contribution, NPS option, Mediclaim cover (incl. family), Term Life and Accident Insurance, Employee Assistance Prog. scheme for the family to safeguard your physical and mental wellbeing. In addition, all permanent employees are eligible for the Global Profit Share scheme. Subject to scheme rules employees can receive two Profit Share payments per year, which are dependent on the firm’s financial performance.
