Geotechnical engineering for mining, dams, and infrastructure projects
DF+ Engineering delivers soil, rock, and hydrological engineering across mining feasibility, design, and construction phases in Brazil. The tech stack—SAP2000, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, HEC-RAS, QGIS, and BIM tools—reflects a firm rooted in traditional CAD-driven design workflows; notably absent are modern cloud collaboration or real-time asset-monitoring platforms, despite running an active asset-monitoring center and facing ongoing challenges with monitoring system uptime and data reliability. Hiring is nearly all engineering (18 roles) with heavy intern intake, signaling either project ramp-up or persistent junior-talent retention gaps.
DF+ Engineering provides geotechnical and hydrogeological consulting for infrastructure and mining projects across Brazil, operating from Belo Horizonte. The firm spans the full project lifecycle: feasibility and environmental assessment, design (basic and detailed), BIM modeling, technical field monitoring, and as-built documentation. Project portfolio includes dams, slope stabilization, water infrastructure, road/rail, bridges, and waste-disposal schemes. Key service areas are soil/rock mechanics, hydrology, and design review; the firm also operates a monitoring center for asset health tracking. With 201–500 staff, the firm is structured almost entirely around engineering delivery, with minimal dedicated sales infrastructure.
Primary tools are AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, SAP2000, and QGIS. BIM and AutoCAD Civil 3D are listed as core specialties. Microsoft Office and SharePoint handle documentation.
Projects span dams, slope stabilization, water supply/drainage, road and rail infrastructure, bridges, foundations, concrete structures, and waste disposal. Active monitoring center for asset condition tracking across portfolio.
