Role & responsibilities

- Lead and control all geological investigations, including mapping, drilling, core logging, and interpretation for project requirements

- Review, validate, and provide input on geological and geotechnical reports for dams, reservoirs, tunnels, shafts, and underground caverns

- Provide continuous geological input during DPR, detailed engineering, and construction stages, ensuring alignment with site conditions

- Monitor excavation geology through face mapping and logging, and recommend appropriate rock support systems and modifications

- Assess and advise on slope stability, seepage, rock mass behavior, and foundation conditions for safe and efficient construction

- Coordinate with design consultants, contractors, and domain experts to resolve geological issues and optimize solutions

- Support optimization of tunnel alignments, cavern layouts, and excavation methodologies based on geological findings

- Identify, track, and mitigate geological risks such as weak zones, water ingress, overbreak, and instability to minimize delays and cost impacts

- Ensure proper documentation of geological records, mapping, logs, and construction-stage observations for technical and contractual use

- Support statutory approvals, technical reviews, and expert evaluations related to geology and geotechnical aspects

Preferred candidate profile

Educational Qualification

Mandatory

- M.Sc/ M.Tech in Geology / Applied Geology / Engineering Geology / Geotechnical Engineering





Preferred

- Specialization in Rock Mechanics / Underground Excavation / Hydro Geology

Experience Requirements

- 15+ years of experience in hydropower, PSP, tunneling, or underground infrastructure, with strong exposure across investigation, design interface, and construction stages.

- Deep expertise in engineering geology and applied rock mechanics, with proven ability to convert geological data into practical, execution-focused decisions.

- Extensive hands-on experience in underground works (HRTs, surge shafts, caverns, TRTs), with solid understanding of excavation behavior and ground response.

- Proven capability in dam and reservoir geology, including foundation assessment, slope stability, seepage control, and treatment measures.

- Strong command over rock mass classification systems (RMR, Q-system) and optimization of support systems such as shotcrete, bolting, anchors, and grouting.

- Solid experience in geotechnical investigations, geological mapping, and face logging, with ability for real-time interpretation and decision-making during excavation.

- Demonstrated ability to manage adverse geological conditions such as water ingress, shear zones, cavities, and instability with effective mitigation strategies.

- Strong capability in proactive geological risk identification, cross-functional coordination, and robust technical documentation to support timely and informed decision-making.
