About the role

The role is an Associate position and is full-time.

Responsibilities

  • Manage geotechnical projects from proposal through completion, including planning, field execution, budgets, schedules, and deliverable quality.
  • Assist with planning, coordinating, and interpreting geotechnical field and laboratory programs (SPT borings, test pits, percolation tests, pavement/earthwork evaluations, and ground improvement support as applicable).
  • 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.

  • Plan and execute geotechnical investigations: develop field programs, coordinate drillers/labs, oversee SPT borings/test pits, document conditions, and troubleshoot field issues.
  • Demonstrated experience with CMT operations: scheduling/dispatch awareness, technician oversight, daily field reporting, non-conformance documentation, and coordination with contractors/clients for rework and resolution.
  • Knowledge of geotechnical engineering principles, including soil and rock mechanics and groundwater conditions typical of South Florida.
  • Perform and support engineering evaluation, recommendations for shallow and deep foundations, site earthwork, pavement, and ground improvement concepts.
  • Contribute to preparation of geotechnical reports, proposals, calculations, and related technical documentation, ensuring quality and timely deliverables.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to lead and direct technicians, coordinate with clients/contractors, and work effectively within a team environment.
