  • Work independently on specific assignments of limited scope with Senior review.
  • Perform quality review of work performed by assigned staff; identify, investigate, and resolve internal and external quality issues on projects.
  • Coordinate with regional operations to effectively coordinate staff, resources, and workloads.
  • Ensure client expectations are met or exceeded.
  • Support client relationships to effectively achieve power, renewables, and mission critical market-sector goals and strategies.
  • Must be action oriented, able to effectively/efficiently manage time, and able to learn quickly.

Required Skills

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Possess strong analytical skills and high attention to detail.
  • Strong organization and customer service skills.
  • Ability to exceed client expectations while thriving in a time critical / dynamic work environment.
  • Ability to work both independently and as a team member.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office including Word, Excel, Outlook, SharePoint.
  • Ability to create, maintain, and communicate project budgets

Required Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree (BS) ingeotechnical, civil, or related engineering field required.
  • Two or more years of construction materials testing or geotechnical engineering experience preferred, but not required.
  • Previous experience with large-scale construction projects preferred.
  • Must have a valid driver's license.
  • Expected travel is 60 to 90%.
