This role provides engineering and consulting services across a wide range of projects and sectors, including public works, transportation, commercial, communications, energy, and industrial developments. The geotechnical engineer performs and often leads field investigations, engineering analyses, calculations, and recommendations, while contributing to the design and development of plans and specifications. The position includes observation and inspection activities, preparation and review of technical reports, and evaluation of laboratory and field data. The engineer ensures that drawings and construction activities comply with plans and specifications, supports project budgeting and progress tracking, and communicates complex engineering concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This is a career-level position for a fully competent engineering professional responsible for managing detailed phases of projects of moderate size and complexity.

• Provide geotechnical engineering and consulting services for a broad array of projects and clients across multiple sectors, including public works, transportation, commercial, communications, energy, and industrial projects.
• Perform and lead geotechnical field investigations, including field sampling, geotechnical investigations, and observation of earthworks and construction activities.
• Conduct engineering analyses, calculations, and geotechnical evaluations to develop sound engineering recommendations for design and construction.
• Contribute to the design and development of plans and specifications for geotechnical and civil engineering aspects of projects, including pavements, earthworks, and foundations.
• Perform observation and inspection services to verify that construction and materials comply with approved plans, specifications, and applicable standards.
• Review engineering drawings, construction documents, and field work to assure compliance with project requirements and specifications.
• Write, prepare, and review routine and complex engineering reports that clearly document services provided, findings, analyses, and recommendations.
• Assign, review, and evaluate complex laboratory and field test data for inclusion in technical reports and design documents.
• Prepare proposals and cost estimates for small and large projects, including defining scope of services, estimating budgets, and establishing schedules.
• Track and evaluate project progress and budgets, identify variances, and recommend changes or corrective actions as needed.
• Research and resolve design and construction problems by applying sound geotechnical and civil engineering principles and judgment.
• Apply established engineering principles and standards to project work, and clearly communicate complex engineering issues and concepts to technical and non-technical clients and project teams.
• Provide and lead continuous quality monitoring and improvement on projects, ensuring consistent quality standards in project and proposal delivery.
• Follow safety rules, guidelines, and standards on all projects, participate in pre-task planning, and promptly report any safety issues or concerns.
• Plan, schedule, conduct, and coordinate detailed phases of assigned project work, independently performing a variety of projects or segments of larger projects.
• Work closely with senior-level project managers to gain additional project management experience on more complex and larger projects.
• Make design, engineering, and construction recommendations, adaptations, and modifications based on project conditions and data.
• Prepare proposals and technical reports for projects of varying size and complexity, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
• Perform quality control reviews of proposals and technical documents prepared by others to maintain high standards of accuracy and consistency.
• Serve as a technical adviser to junior-level project team members, providing guidance, mentoring, and oversight on engineering tasks.
• Interact directly with clients and project teams to develop scopes of services, communicate project progress, and present findings and recommendations.
• Participate in marketing, sales, and business development activities to support growth of geotechnical and related services.
• Supervise graduate, field, and project engineering staff, providing direction on technical tasks, field activities, and reporting.
• Work under the supervision of an authorized senior professional while progressing through a documented mentoring and application process toward professional authorization or certification.
