Job description

New Remote Position-Alternate Delivery Requisition Sr. Geotechnical Engineer - Bridge, Tunnel, Infrastructure - Completely Remote Position
 

Terracon has a fantastic opportunity to join our growing Alternate Delivery organization. This group works on our larger transportation projects across the US. Because of this, the position can be filled anywhere within the US! 
In this role, you will provide engineering and consulting services for transportation projects and clients. This may include performing and/or leading field investigations, engineering analysis, calculations, and recommendations, design and development of plans and specifications, observation and inspection, and the writing, preparation, and review of related reports for the services provided. Review drawings and construction to assure compliance with plans and specifications. Prepare proposals and cost estimates, track and evaluate project progress, budgets, and recommend changes. Research and resolve design and construction problems. Assign, review, and evaluate laboratory or field data for inclusion in reports. Apply sound engineering principles and be able to communicate complex engineering issues and concepts to technical and non-technical clients and project teams. Services may be provided for existing or proposed projects in the transportation sector. Project Management and/or technical leadership experience for large scale transportation projects is preferred, with the ability to manage all aspects of a geotechnical engineering project, including project teams, to verify that it is safely completed on time and within scope and budget. 
Examples of the work required include:

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers and project managers for analysis and design of foundations for bridges, marine structures, and large infrastructure, supporting all project phases
  • Development of Site Characterization reports to include a geotechnical/geological narrative of site conditions along the alignment for purposes of identifying difficult ground conditions and/or project risks.
  • Providing geotechnical design recommendations and supporting documentation for earthwork, considering planned cuts/fills, for purposes of estimating construction quantities, assessing potential impacts to existing or planned project improvements and providing design/construction guidance.
  • Perform advanced soil-structure interaction, geotechnical, and dynamic analysis using finite element software, and execute geotechnical/structural design
  • Utilize industry-standard software for deep and shallow foundation design, providing recommendations to structural team members
  • Geotechnical analysis to support retaining wall recommendations for individual retaining structures or for groups of retaining structures with the same general conditions (i.e. height, subgrade conditions, geometry, etc.). All analyses should be performed in accordance with code requirements.

Analyses Required will include:

  • External stability analysis (bearing resistance, sliding, overturning, eccentricity)
  • Settlement analyses (short-term, total, rate)
  • Rotational stability
  • Identify geotechnical risk items that may adversely impact design and/or construction costs/schedules.
