This candidate’s primary purpose would be to be a project manager of geotechnical investigations for residential, municipal and commercial development.

Duties to include all project phases including proposal preparation, client contact, field investigations, data analysis and modeling, design, and report generation. After becoming familiar with our procedures and geologic/soils conditions, this candidate would be assigned a geographic area within our region to manage geotechnical projects in that area. Any specialization will also be encouraged, such as geologic hazard mitigation, slope stability analyses, excavation stabilization plans and retaining wall designs.

The candidate will be a geotechnical or geological engineer (EIT or PE) with 2 to 5 years experience performing geotechnical. This person should have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in civil or geological engineering. Strong verbal and written communication skills are required. Strong computer skills are needed, including knowledge of Word, Excel, AutoCAD, and any slope stability or geologic hazard analysis programs.

B.S. or M.S. in Geotechnical Engineering or Geological Engineering. Experience with drilling, test pit excavations, soil and rock classifications, geologic interpretation, and geologic hazard identification are essential. Specialization or experience with instrumentation installation, slope stability analyses, foundation design, deep foundations, pavement design, retaining wall design, soil nailing, ground anchors, expansive soils, geologic mapping, geologic hazard analysis and mitigation, and laboratory testing are helpful.

This person will assist geotechnical engineering project managers will all levels of field investigations and report generation.

Assist with entering and reviewing laboratory data, technical writing of letters and reports, preparing graphics for and assembling soils and geologic reports. This person will also conduct fieldwork including setting up percolation tests, logging test pits of boreholes, assisting in soils/geologic investigations, and construction observation/inspection, as directed by the project manager.

They should have strong communication skills, both verbal and written, and excellent computer skills including, but not limited to such programs as Word, Excel, and AutoCAD. The ideal candidate will have some experience in geology, soils, drafting, engineering, soil lab testing and/or construction.

Experience needed with technical writing (letters, reports). Some college-level science and mathematics classes such as geology, earth science, chemistry, physics, soils mechanics lab, surveying, technical writing, and algebra. Any mapping or GIS experience.

Perform key design work on a large spectrum of civil design projects, with limited supervisory input.

Civil site design for residential, commercial, and public facilities
Roadway design
Dam design
Basic hydraulic system analysis
Schematic piping plan preparation
Large-scale irrigation design
Quantity estimating
Map preparation

The successful candidate will be a high school graduate, possess 10+ years of civil design experience, and have a comprehensive knowledge of AutoCAD 2006 with Civil 3D, including experience in municipal engineering with good knowledge of construction, and operations of wastewater and drinking water treatment systems. The selected candidate will be a proven civil designer with good communication skills. They will need to be able to work independently as well as in a team setting and supervise CAD technicians.

A.S. or B.S. in Engineering or related field
Knowledgeable in preparation of basic electrical schematics and load analysis
Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Word software
