What I'm looking for

I’m looking forward to new experience and personal development, in geotechnical work that combines laboratory testing with field investigation—where I can lead documentation, improve technical reporting, and grow through challenging projects.

I’m Nikola, a geological/geotechnical engineer focused on laboratory geotechnical research, equally strong in the office and on the terrain. With 8 years of experience in geology, I’m motivated by new experience and personal development.

As CHIEF OF THE SOIL DEPARTMENT and HEAD OF THE GEOMECHANICAL LABORATORY, I led documentation and lab operations, including complete documentation required for ATS accreditation. I manage sampling and geotechnical investigation work—granulometric analysis, Atterberg limits, degree of compaction checks, and Proctor—while monitoring and calibrating measuring equipment.

I also prepare laboratory reports and geotechnical (geomechanical) studies (graphics in AutoCAD), and I test bearing capacity using a dynamic plate. Earlier, as SENIOR GEOLOGY ENGINEER FOR GEOTECHNICAL RESEARCH, I mapped railway tunnels and slopes and supported geotechnical measurements in the field (SPT/CPT data collection, piezometers, pouring tests, and inclinometers), including extensive exploratory drilling supervision.
