About the Job

Requirements

  • Training in Civil Engineering / Geotechnical Engineering at an engineering school or Master's level.
  • Good fundamentals in soil mechanics, deep foundations, and reinforced concrete.
  • Ability to interpret geological and geotechnical data and formalize calculation assumptions.
  • Interest in calculation software and automation; proficiency in Excel and, ideally, familiarity with programming in Python, VBA, or an equivalent language.
  • Rigor, critical thinking, writing skills, and ability to work in a team.

Responsibilities

  • Review methods of geotechnical investigation and commonly used tests, including boreholes, penetrometers, pressuremeter tests, and laboratory tests.
  • Analyze a corpus of geotechnical reports from industrial or nuclear projects.
  • Identify and interpret the main geotechnical parameters used for foundation design.
  • Identify the geotechnical parameters needed to convert a complete volumetric soil model into a soil model represented by springs distributed over the foundation depth.
  • Synthesize the formulas for converting soil geotechnical parameters into soil spring parameters.
  • Study methods for determining the bearing capacity of deep and shallow foundations in accordance with current standards and regulations.
  • Analyze how soil characteristics, stratigraphy, founding depth, foundation geometry, and loading conditions affect calculated bearing capacity.
  • Study settlement assessment methods and highlight differences between bearing-capacity and deformation criteria.
  • Reproduce selected case studies using geotechnical numerical tools, notably PLAXIS, to compare analytical and numerical approaches.
  • Perform sensitivity analyses to identify the most influential parameters.
  • Develop an internal methodology enabling civil engineers to use geotechnical reports effectively for foundation design.
  • Produce a bibliography and summary of geotechnical investigation methods.
  • Prepare a synthesis note on converting soil geotechnical parameters into soil spring parameters.
  • Compare analytical approaches with numerical modeling.
  • Prepare an internal technical guide on soil bearing capacity and foundation design.

About the Company

ASSYSTEM

Engineering services for design, construction, commissioning

Assystem provides engineering services for complex projects, covering design, construction, supervision, commissioning, and operation, with a strong focus on the nuclear and energy sectors. Its approach combines multidisciplinary engineering teams and project-management capabilities to move projects from initial concept through to operation. The company differentiates itself through a long track record, strategic acquisitions (including Alphatem in 1995 and Mactech Energy Group in 2025) and an early public offering in 2013, which have expanded its capabilities and market reach in the energy and nuclear fields. Its goal is to be a leading, reliable partner for clients by delivering end-to-end engineering services and helping them meet safety, performance, and regulatory requirements across the project lifecycle.
