Geotechnical Engineer

Description

• Participate in team-building activities and training opportunities to enhance skills in geotechnical engineering, project management, and consulting.
• Collaborate closely with geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists to develop fundamental skills and effectively implement engineering strategies across diverse projects.
• Assist in creating innovative, customized proposals and technical reports as part of a professional team.
• Perform on-site inspections of construction elements such as foundations and retaining walls to ensure adherence to design recommendations and plans.
• Plan and carry out subsurface investigations, soil and rock testing, and instrumentation activities.
• Engage in various geotechnical analyses and designs, including slope stability, seismic evaluations, foundation design (shallow and deep), ground improvement techniques, excavation assessments, and shoring designs.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams, including clients, architects, engineers, and contractors, to exchange project insights, objectives, and geotechnical recommendations.

Requirements

• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or eligibility to obtain it within six months (preferred).
• Master’s degree in geotechnical engineering (preferred).
• Capability to draft designs in AutoCAD, including retaining walls, levees, embankments, and slope stabilization structures.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills to collaborate with diverse stakeholders such as clients, architects, engineers, and contractors.
• Bachelor's degree in civil or geological engineering from an ABET-accredited institution with coursework in geotechnical engineering (required).
• Proficiency with geotechnical analysis software for data processing, slope stability assessments, foundation design, and seismic evaluations.
• Valid U.S. driver’s license and a satisfactory driving record for work-related travel (required).
• Hands-on experience with subsurface exploration, including drilling, test pits, geophysical methods, and monitoring systems such as inclinometers and groundwater transducers.
• Field experience managing geotechnical aspects of construction projects.
• Ability to work outdoors in varied weather conditions and remote locations with provided safety equipment and training.
• Knowledge or training in foundation design, slope stability, and seismic analysis techniques.
• Experience in geotechnical engineering with progressively greater responsibilities.
• Minimum of two years of relevant geotechnical engineering experience, or a combination of a master’s degree and professional experience (required).
• Clear and professional verbal and written communication abilities.
