• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Engineering Geology, or Geological Engineering. 

• Master’s degree in Engineering Geology or Geotechnical Engineering (preferred, especially for senior roles). 
• Minimum 5–10 years experience in hydropower, dams, tunneling, mining, or large infrastructure projects 

• Conduct detailed geological and geomorphological mapping of the project area, including dam site, waterways, intake, and powerhouse. 

• Identify and characterize rock types, structural features (faults, joints, fractures), and soil formations. 

• Perform assessment of geological hazards (landslides, slope instability, erosion, seismic features). 

• Plan and supervise drilling, borehole logging, test pits, geophysical surveys, and in-situ testing (Lugeon, permeability tests). 

• Prepare detailed geological logs for core drilling and assist in rock mass classification (RMR, Q-system, GSI). 

• Evaluate foundation stability for dam structures, tunnels, surge shafts, and other components. 

• Provide recommendations on foundation treatment such as grouting, rock bolting, drainage, and slope stabilization 

• Develop geological prognosis for tunnel routes 

• Provide real-time geological mapping during tunnel excavation (face mapping). 

• Identify potential tunneling hazards (water ingress, squeezing ground, fault zones). 

• Recommend excavation methods and support systems based on ground conditions. 

• Assess groundwater conditions, aquifer behavior, seepage patterns, and potential impacts on civil structures. 

• Recommend groundwater control measures 

• Prepare geological reports, hazard assessments, and data summaries for feasibility, design, and construction stages. 

• Maintain daily site records and coordinate with design teams to update geological models. 

• Ensure compliance with technical specifications related to geological conditions. 

• Inspect excavation works, support installation, grouting operations, and slope/rock stability. 

• Work closely with civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers for design optimization. 

• Support Environmental and Social teams on issues related to geological impacts and community risks.
