The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more, enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

We're looking for a Tunnel Engineer to support full-cycle excavation operations on our Prufrock Tunnel Boring Machines, driving through soft, water-bearing ground beneath one of the densest urban corridors in the Middle East. This is a field-based role where you'll be embedded with the mining crew — responsible for monitoring production, interpreting geotechnical data, optimizing TBM performance, and ensuring tunneling stays on-line, on-grade, and on schedule.

Responsibilities:

• Support daily tunneling operations by tracking machine performance, advance rates, face pressures, and cutter wear
• Analyze geotechnical conditions and provide guidance on ground conditioning, face pressure management, cutterhead tooling, and excavation strategy
• Monitor ground settlement data and coordinate responses to protect third-party structures and utilities along the alignment
• Assist with TBM guidance systems, surveying, and tunnel alignment monitoring
• Coordinate shift handovers and maintain accurate production reports, logs, and as-built records
• Identify inefficiencies and work with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, EHS) to improve performance and reduce downtime
• Assist with ring builds, cutterhead inspections, and machine diagnostics during planned maintenance windows and interventions
• Support testing, instrumentation, and quality control efforts for tunnel lining and annular grouting
• Ensure field activities comply with UAE regulations, RTA requirements, and project safety standards

Qualifications:

• Degree in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in tunnel engineering, underground construction, or TBM operations (EPB or slurry experience preferred)
• Strong understanding of soil mechanics, soft-ground behavior, and segmental lining systems
• Comfortable working underground in rotating shifts and a fast-paced production environment
• Currently based in the UAE or GCC region, or eligible to work in the UAE
• Experience with tunnel survey systems, TBM guidance, or SCADA data monitoring tools is a plus
• Experience with settlement monitoring and instrumentation in urban tunneling a plus
• Professional engineering licensure (PE, CEng, or equivalent) or UAE Society of Engineers registration a plus, but not required
• Prior experience on major Gulf-region infrastructure projects (metro, road, or utility tunnels) a plus

Additional Requirements:

• The position may require extended hours and weekend work
• This role is on site / in person in Dubai, UAE
• The position will require regular work inside tunnels. Candidates should be comfortable with this

Culture

We're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity. Joining the Dubai team at this stage means helping set the standard for how we build in the region.

Benefits

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package for the Dubai project.
