Intermediate Geotechnical Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

Project Leadership: Take charge of geotechnical engineering projects, ensuring their successful execution.

Pipeline Expertise: Bring your experience in pipeline geotechnical engineering, road design, geo-hazards, slope stability, and instrumentation placement and monitoring to our team.

Software Proficiency: Utilize geotechnical design software like RocScience RS2, RSLog, Slide 2, along with Microsoft Office applications. Familiarity with ArcGIS is a plus.

Mentorship: Mentor and oversee junior geotechnical staff (E.I.Ts, G.I.Ts), both in office and field-based roles.

Accountabilities:

• Supervise and manage, as well as perform geotechnical drilling/sampling (as the Ground Disturbance Supervisor) using solid/hollow stem auger, mud/air rotary and coring techniques; for ground-supported (truck or track-mounted) projects. Field work as required.
• Undertake site visits, as required to assess drilling equipment access to planned borehole locations.
• Perform installation of geotechnical instrumentation and assist with data analysis and reporting.
• Assist with the preparation of geotechnical reports for foundation or pipeline related projects.
• Assist with geotechnical analysis and design pertaining to facilities (pump stations, compressor stations, valve sites, etc.), in terms of foundation design and overall site development.
• Provide previous knowledge and contribute to projects where slope stability (rock and soil) assessment is required and provide technical insight for implementing solutions.
• Manage geotechnical scope for various projects and meet project deadlines.
• Maintain effective working relationships with clients, contractors, staff and other employees.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5 years of Geotechnical Engineering Consulting experience.
• Experience related directly to pipeline geotechnical engineering, road design, slope stability and instrumentation monitoring and installation will be considered a strong asset.
• Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil or Geological Engineering, with emphasis in geotechnical engineering.
• Working knowledge of geotechnical design software packages. Familiarity and previous experience using ArcGIS considered a strong asset.
• Registered as a Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas (TBPE) and ability to register elsewhere.
• An excellent communicator and team player, able to work within a multi-disciplinary team environment with a positive attitude.
