Geotechnical EIT

About the role

We'll count on you to develop geotechnical engineering calculations and perform analyses in support of designs, plans, and specifications for various flood control projects. Conduct analyses to develop design options or recommendations, and assist in the preparation of technical documents like technical memoranda and geotechnical reports. Perform routine engineering tasks requiring standard techniques and procedures. Conduct slope stability, seepage, settlement, and other soil/rock analyses. Complete projects with clear objectives and limited variables. Perform field work including construction observations, field investigations, and site reconnaissance. Work independently on small projects or assist more-senior engineers on larger projects. Give direction to clerical and technical personnel as needed. Perform field investigations such as logging soil and rock borings, installing instrumentation, conducting Cone Penetration Tests, performing packer tests, geophysical surveys, and collecting televiewer data.

Responsibilities

• Develop geotechnical engineering calculations and perform analyses in support of designs, plans, and specifications for flood walls, levees, dam embankments, bank protection, hydraulic structures, bridges, and pumping station projects.
