Entry Level Environmental Science Gis Jobs in Georgia

The JUNIOR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER works under the general supervision of a Geotechnical/CMT Project Manager to perform assignments requiring application of standard techniques, procedures, and criteria. Performs specific and limited portions of a broader assignment of an experienced professional. Geotechnical engineers may work both in the field and the office.

This position is the entry level position for geotechnical engineers. Field investigation includes site walkovers for gathering data, test location layout, logging of subsurface conditions and test results during geotechnical and environmental drilling operations, implementing field tests and investigating computer-generated analysis. Office duties include laboratory testing, interpreting lab results and calculating analytical findings, using computer programs for analysis and design.

Data is then evaluated for the preparation of geotechnical report of findings and recommendations. Performing geotechnical analysis and studies to assess site conditions through geotechnical exploration, field and environmental investigations and laboratory analysis Oversee field monitoring and testing of soils including boring investigations and soil type classification Prepare written plans and reports related to site investigations, assessments, and remediation activities. Projects may include construction projects focusing on earthwork and structural foundations; well design and sampling; environmental assessments including Phase I/II site assessments; seismic risk assessments.
