PEI YING TAN

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Senior Geotechnical Engineer with over 11 years of experience delivering innovative geotechnical solutions across offshore wind energy, infrastructure, and deep foundation projects. My expertise spans soil-structure interaction, numerical modeling, and the interpretation of offshore site investigations for efficient, safe, and cost-effective design outcomes.

I have worked with multidisciplinary teams, interfaced directly with clients and stakeholders, and contributed to large-scale developments in MALAYSIA and Hornsea offshore wind projects. I’m proficient in tools such as PLAXIS, GINT, PYTHON, SAFE, GEOSTUDIO and I thrive in collaborative, hybrid work environments that prioritize technical excellence and cross-functional communication.

Currently based in Kuala Lumpur, I bring a flexible, independent working style and a strong commitment to mentoring junior engineers while continuously expanding my own capabilities in emerging areas like offshore wind and energy transition.

Accomplished Senior Geotechnical Engineer with over 11 years of experience in offshore and onshore foundation engineering, specializing in geotechnical analysis, site investigations, and advanced numerical modeling. Proven track record in delivering technically complex projects across the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in support of offshore wind, energy infrastructure, and deep foundations.

Offshore Geotechnical Engineering

• Skilled in assessing ground conditions and marine interfaces, balancing geotechnical risks with installation and metocean constraints to deliver practical design solutions.
• Specialized in scoping site investigations and developing ground models for landfall, export/array cable routes, foundation design, and installation.
• Led and contributed to global offshore wind projects, supporting full project lifecycles from site characterization to certified design documentation.

Onshore Geotechnical Engineering

• Experienced in managing complete geotechnical project cycles – from site investigation (SI) planning and procurement to design, construction supervision, and monitoring.
• Delivered tailored design recommendations for foundations, retaining structures, slopes, and ground improvement, ensuring constructability, economy, safety, and performance.
• Reviewed method statements, evaluated contractor submissions, interpreted SI data, and provided responsive support for construction-phase geotechnical challenges.

Geotechnical Data Management and Analysis

• Proficient in handling large geotechnical and geophysical datasets using tools such as Python, GINT, and bespoke in-house platforms, enabling efficient data processing and interpretation.
• Automated parameter derivation and reporting workflows and developed advanced visualization tools to support geotechnical decision-making across offshore and onshore projects.
• Experienced in using geotechnical design software such as PLAXIS (for soil-structure interaction and foundation behaviour), GeoStudio (for slope stability, seepage, and stress analysis), and SAFE (for foundation and slab design integration with structural systems).

Collaboration, Leadership and R&D

• Demonstrated leadership in geotechnical project delivery and cross-discipline collaboration with engineering teams, consultancies, and contractors.
• Actively engaged in R&D to evolve geotechnical interpretation methods, ground modeling techniques, and data processing methodologies.
• Maintains close contractor engagement to ensure fit-for-purpose testing and construction strategies, while providing senior-level mentorship across onshore and offshore project teams.

• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Civil Engineering The National University of Malaysia (UKM) (2014)
• Currently working toward registration as a Professional Engineer (Ir.) with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)
• Completed Knowledge Contributor Program by the Leadership Pipeline Institute (LPI), recognizing leadership development, knowledge sharing, and a commitment to building future-ready capabilities.
• Willing to pursue a Master's Degree in a part-time or long-distance program to further enhance my technical and leadership capabilities while contributing actively in a professional role.
