Job Details

This geotechnical engineering role covers the full arc of site work, from scoping and running field investigations and lab testing programs through analysis, foundation and site design, and the reports and recommendations clients rely on.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and lead pre-design site investigations such as CPT, subsurface exploration, shear-wave velocity testing and drilling programs
• Design laboratory testing programs and interpret the data they produce
• Develop subsurface profiles that reveal site challenges and determine which calculations and analyses each project requires
• Carry out geotechnical analysis along with foundation and site design
• Produce technical calculations, geotechnical reports and engineering recommendations for clients
• Coordinate drilling work on active hospital campuses for healthcare projects
• Mentor junior engineers and provide them with technical direction

Needed:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering or a closely related field
• California Professional Engineer (PE) license
• Strong background in geotechnical engineering, including subsurface exploration, site characterization and engineering analysis
• Experience interpreting CPT data, boring logs, laboratory results and subsurface investigation findings
• Experience in geotechnical analysis and foundation design, covering settlement, soil behavior and site-specific recommendations
• Proven ability to prepare geotechnical calculations, engineering reports and design recommendations

Nice to have:

• California Geotechnical Engineer (GE) license
• Experience with DSA/HCAI healthcare and institutional projects
• Liquefaction and expansive soils analysis experience
