- Plan, coordinate, and support geotechnical site investigations, including field exploration, subsurface investigations, and laboratory testing programs.
- Conduct site reconnaissance, field visits, and construction support activities as required.
- Prepare and review geotechnical reports, engineering calculations, technical memoranda, specifications, and recommendations.
- Perform geotechnical calculations and modeling using appropriate engineering software and analytical tools.
- Review engineering plans, drawings, specifications, and other project documentation from a geotechnical perspective.
- Coordinate with structural, civil, hydraulic, transportation, and other engineering disciplines to integrate geotechnical requirements into overall project designs.
- Provide technical support during design and construction, including evaluation of field conditions and resolution of geotechnical issues.
- Support Project Managers with technical coordination, client communication, project documentation, and successful project delivery.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and other team members, as needed.
- Utilize and/or review engineering drawings developed using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, OpenRoad, or similar design platforms.
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- Strong professional experience in geotechnical engineering, preferably involving transportation and civil infrastructure projects.
- Experience performing and reviewing geotechnical calculations, analyses, reports, and engineering recommendations.
- Knowledge of commonly used geotechnical analysis and modeling software.
- Experience supporting geotechnical investigations, design activities, and construction-phase engineering.
- Strong technical, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities.
- Ability to coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Ability to manage assignments independently while also contributing effectively within a team environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
Preferred Qualifications - Approximately 10 years of geotechnical engineering experience; candidates with fewer years may be considered based on the strength and relevance of their experience.
