Geotechnical EIT

Description

• Work in conjunction with engineers and geologists to solve project challenges, performing design calculations as required.
• Evaluate field and laboratory test data and develop parameters for use in technical analyses.
• Assist with feasibility studies by conducting research to assess issues and develop solutions.
• Conduct analysis using programs such as GeoStudio (SLOPE/W, SEEP/W, …), ROCSCIENCE (RSData, Dips, UnWedge, SWedge, Slide2&3, RS2&3…), OpenGround, AllPile, LPILE, PLAXIS 2D&3D, FLAC2D&3D, Abaqus, UDEC, and 3DEC under the supervision of more senior engineers/geologists.
• Participate in professional development and training activities"
• Assess subsurface conditions, including soil and rock properties and geomechanical conditions, including review and interpretation of field maps, field logs, test data, and other field documentation.
• Develop familiarity with regulatory agency requirements, technical design standards, and industry standards and guidelines.
• Provide field engineering support for projects during construction.
• Conduct field inspections; observe and participate in field exploration and testing programs; and perform site characterizations and evaluate geotechnical hazards under the supervision of more senior engineers/geologists.
• Follow safe work practices and adhere to company guidelines for planning and executing work in a safe manner.
• Prepare technical reports including geotechnical data reports, geotechnical baseline reports, field reports, technical memoranda, computation packages, feasibility reports, design and evaluation reports, construction drawings, and specifications.
• Select criteria for planning, design, and construction of dams, tunnels, caverns, foundations, slopes, and earthretaining structures.

Requirements

• Willing and able to travel, both nationally and internationally, to conduct field investigation or construction quality oversight type work.
• Sound organizational, technical, written, and oral communication skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to prioritize work.
• Prior engineering internship experience working in a consulting capacity is a plus.
• EIT strongly desired, with a commitment to obtain registration as a Professional Engineer.
• Valid driver's license and good driving record required.
• Master’s Degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Geology, or Geological Engineering is preferred.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, Engineering Geology, or Geological Engineering from an accredited university is required.
• Ability to work as part of a team and to engage in creative and critical thought.
• Working knowledge of the principles of civil/geotechnical or geological engineering, e.g., soil/rock mechanics, slope stability, shallow and deep foundations, and retaining structures.
• Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint software.
• Some exposure to or knowledge of numerical modeling and finite element analysis, and computer aided design drafting.
