- Prepare and support preparation of geotechnical engineering reports, calculations, and recommendations (foundation, earthwork, and site development), with QA/QC review support from senior staff.
- Provide construction phase services: site visits, earthwork/foundation observations, pavement evaluations as needed, issue resolution, and clear communication of recommendations.
- Support CMT operations: assist with scheduling, technician coordination, daily field coverage, reporting turnaround, and client responsiveness.
- Support proposal preparation and business development support (scope write-ups, fee inputs, client communications, and follow-ups).
- Promote and follow safety procedures in both field and office operations, support job hazard analyses and safe work practices.
Requirements
- B.S in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical emphasis) or Geotechnical Engineering.
- Minimum of 4-5+ years of progressive experience in geotechnical engineering and construction-phase services (CMT), including subsurface exploration, analysis/evaluation, and report preparation.
