• Knowledge of geotechnical engineering principles, including soil and rock mechanics and groundwater conditions typical of South Florida.

• Perform and support engineering evaluation, recommendations for shallow and deep foundations, site earthwork, pavement, and ground improvement concepts.

• Contribute to preparation of geotechnical reports, proposals, calculations, and related technical documentation, ensuring quality and timely deliverables.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to lead and direct technicians, coordinate with clients/contractors, and work effectively within a team environment.
