· Develop site-specific response spectra and ground-motion parameters.

· Conduct site-response analyses.

· Select, process and scale earthquake ground-motion records.

· Assess the seismic response of various geotechnical systems.

· Perform dynamic numerical analyses.

· Support soil–structure interaction, liquefaction potential and seismic deformation assessments.

· Interpret geotechnical, geophysical and seismological data.

· Prepare technical proposals, reports and design recommendations.

· Review seismic analyses and technical outputs prepared by project teams.

· Develop R&D; methodologies, computational tools and technical procedures.

· Contribute to research papers, conference publications, patents and funded research proposals.

· Coordinate with clients, consultants, academic institutions and multidisciplinary teams.

· Guide junior engineers, researchers and interns.

· Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards and quality procedures.

Technical Competencies

· Engineering seismology and earthquake geotechnical engineering.

· Seismic hazard assessment and ground-motion characterization.

· Strong-motion record processing and spectral analysis.

· Equivalent-linear and nonlinear site-response analysis.

· Agile soil behaviour and constitutive modelling.





· Liquefaction and seismic ground-deformation assessment.

· Dynamic numerical modelling and soil–structure interaction.

· Seismic instrumentation, monitoring and data interpretation.

· Statistical analysis, programming and engineering automation.
