Power Generation Senior EIT 2

Description

• Perform geotechnical engineering assignments involving investigations for a variety of facilities including, but not limited to: foundations for transmission lines, buildings, roadways, bridges, retaining walls, dams, and other structures; designs for embankments and cut slopes for roadways and other developments; designs for natural gas pipelines and compressor stations; design of waste landfills and impoundments; and development of geotechnical monitoring and laboratory testing programs.
• Collaboratively uses judgment to determine adaptations in methods for nonroutine aspects of assignments.
• Prepares portions of plans, specifications, and other project documents.
• Interacts with clients at regular project meetings.
• Prepare geotechnical engineering designs involving: rock/soil slope stability; cut slope and fill embankment design; landslide stabilization and remediation (reinforcement with rock anchors/soil nails, GRS slopes); geotechnical field instrumentation; soil reinforcement and ground improvement techniques (CMCs, compaction grouting, stone columns); sheet pile/retaining walls (gravity walls, soldier pile, and lagging walls, MSE walls, T-walls); shallow and deep foundations (spread footings, driven piles, micropiles, drilled shafts).
• Interacts closely with Project Managers & various Department Managerial Staff, especially with client communications.
• Performs research and field investigation.
• Evaluates, selects, and applies standard techniques, procedures, and criteria to perform a task or sequence of tasks for conventional projects with few complex features.
• Prepare proposals, budgets, schedules, calculations, specifications, and reports.
• Receives instruction on specific objectives.
• Receives direction on unconventional and/or complex problems and possible solutions.
• Geotechnical Investigation and Construction Support Services including, but not limited to: test boring monitoring and logging; site reconnaissance; foundation and retaining structure construction monitoring and inspection. The successful candidate will be responsible for interpreting specifications and construction drawings, evaluating site conditions based on construction excavations, monitoring and reporting on construction activities, and performing field testing of soils.
• Assists in determining schedule and budget requirements.
• Develops broad knowledge and skills in a specific practice area.
• Applies principles of probability and statistics to determine risk relevant to engineering.
• Receives a thorough review of completed work for the application of sound professional judgment.
• Works as a part of a team and coordinates work with others.
• Interacts with clients with close oversight.

Requirements

• The candidate can be expected to traverse steep terrain and carry up to 50 lbs.
• Possess effective oral and written communication skills.
• Passed Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and obtained engineer-in-training (EIT) or engineering-intern (EI) certification
• B.S. or M.S. Engineering
• Performs moderate design tasks.

Benefits

• Travel can be expected in the form of fieldwork, which can be daily local travel or weekly out-of-town travel, generally located in the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia areas (up to 50%).
• Receives mentorship from a licensed engineer typically in their specialty.
