Senior Geotechnical Engineer

The Opportunity

Planning and executing subsurface investigation and laboratory testing programs.

Performing geotechnical design and analysis for foundations, embankments, retaining walls, excavations, pavements, earthworks, slope stabilization, and underground structures.

Interacting with civil and structural engineers to collaborate in the design of foundations, utilities, pavements, and civil structures.

Evaluating and assessing data from field instrumentation (settlement, ground movement around excavations and load tests of piles and anchors) to calibrate predicted performance with actual performance.

Leading the geotechnical design and construction administration for site development projects, including data centers, and/or waterfront structures.

Assisting and eventually leading business development activities

Occasional travel as required for site visits
