Geotechnician

About the Position

Before any kind of construction or mining work can begin, if you want to avoid total disaster, it’s always best to call on the expert services of a geotechnician, specialists in studying the nature of the ground under our feet. With their help, there’ll be no unexpected cracks or crevices!

Fun fact

Ah, Venice... the magnificent, beautiful, splendidly serene Venice... Since the 9th century, the city has stood on a particularly unforgiving site, at least from a geo-technical point of view: a lagoon. Basements are constantly caving in, and any new building work has to take place with the help of special foundations. And with climate change, flooding is becoming more and more severe. The question on everyone’s lips, therefore, is will Venice eventually one day disappear altogether? We hope not...
