Geotechnical Engineer career episode

The Career episode sample reports should follow the guidelines with a fair number of words. The report displays the problems and challenges you face while operating the project and the solution applied.

Geotechnical Engineer Career Episode Report.

Project Name: "Soil Stability”

In the first career episode, the author explains the engineering skills he used when working as Geotechnical Engineer at Schlumberger. During this time, his duties and responsibilities in the project “Soil Stability” were:

• Arranged a team discussion to clarify the main objectives of the project and discussed the whole project
• Performed a desktop study of the past projects and understood the problems during the projects and the side effects.
• Gathered sufficient information or experience to select the project strategy.
• Conducted the site investigation
• Selected the stabilisation method that was based on laboratory tests carried out on the soil

Project Name: Soil Improvement of Weak Soil at Jaber Al Ahmed City Site.

In the second Career episodes for Engineers Australia, the author demonstrates the technical skills that he used while performing the project as a geotechnical engineer under the public authority for the housing welfare state of Kuwait. The project was entitled “Soil Improvement of Weak Soil at Jaber Al Ahmed City Site” , and the responsibilities of the author were:

• To perform a literature review on the numerous topics related to the enhancement of the weak soil.
• To determine the acceptance criteria for improving the soil by several methods.
• To prepare the initial design of dynamic replacement, dynamic compaction, and ironing pass and verify the initial setup.
• To choose the materials and equipment needed in the project.
• To execute excavation, dynamic replacement, dynamic compaction, and backfilling method.
• To analyse the result of soil enhancement by dynamic compaction, dynamic replacement, excavation, and backfilling method.

Project Name:“Drive Pile Foundation Design and Soil Analysis”

In the third career episode, the author describes the project he did when studying Geology-Petroleum Geology at the University of London. This career episode is based on his project named as; “Drive Pile Foundation Design and Soil Analysis”. During the time, the responsibilities of the author were to:

• Arranged a detailed meeting with the supervisor to understand the technologies and science behind pile driving
• Conducted thorough research to clarify confusion regarding driven pile foundations and their design criteria
• Investigated subsurface conditions of the targeted area by testing out the percentage of stacked layers of organic, inorganic, marine, and glacial soils and bedrock
• Selected the driven piles after carefully going through the different types of pile, pile capacity specifications, and minimum pre-augering depths
• Performed pre-augering and determined soil resistance to explore the characteristics of the soil under consideration

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Sample for CDR

The CPD list to be included with CDR Report includes professional courses, non-professional courses and private study. Author’s Mechanical Engineering Knowledge is judged based on the CPD Engineers Australia sample provided to EA.

Geotechnical Engineers CDR Summary Statement Sample:

For CDR Report Australia, the summary statement written by the author represents all the competency elements required as a Geotechnical Engineer. As guided by the Engineers Australia migration skills assessment booklet, the summary statement comprises of cross-references to the relevant paragraph of the episodes. The professional summary for engineer written with CDR report Engineers Australia must be in accordance with the requirements of Engineers Australia.
