Geotechnical Project Engineer

Geotechnical Project Engineer

Join EVS and help deliver innovative geotechnical solutions that support some of the nation's most impactful renewable energy and infrastructure projects. As a Geotechnical Project Engineer, you'll manage projects from investigation through construction, collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and provide technical expertise on utility-scale solar, BESS, substations, and other complex civil infrastructure projects. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys balancing technical analysis, client interaction, and project management while contributing to a collaborative, growth-focused team.

What You'll Do

• Manage multiple geotechnical engineering projects from proposal through completion, ensuring projects are delivered on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
• Develop project scopes, schedules, budgets, and work plans while coordinating field investigations, drilling subcontractors, laboratory testing, and internal project teams.
• Plan and oversee subsurface investigations, reviewing boring logs, laboratory testing results, geophysical data, and site conditions to develop engineering recommendations.
• Perform geotechnical engineering analyses including shallow and deep foundation design, driven pile axial and lateral capacity, settlement analyses, liquefaction evaluations, seismic site classification, groundwater assessments, and earthwork recommendations.
• Develop geotechnical design recommendations for renewable energy projects including utility-scale solar facilities, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations, transmission structures, access roads, inverter pads, and tracker foundations.
• Prepare and review Geotechnical Engineering Reports, Geotechnical Data Reports, foundation recommendations, design memoranda, and earthwork specifications.
• Provide construction support by responding to RFIs, evaluating unexpected subsurface conditions, reviewing pile installation issues and load testing results, and collaborating with contractors to resolve field challenges.
• Communicate project status, technical findings, and recommendations with clients, project managers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Participate in client meetings, proposal preparation, and business development efforts while building long-term relationships with renewable energy developers, EPC contractors, and project stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with civil, structural, electrical, and survey teams to deliver integrated engineering solutions.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of geotechnical engineering experience with increasing responsibility in project execution and technical analysis.
• Experience managing multiple engineering projects simultaneously.
• Strong understanding of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, earthwork design, and geotechnical engineering principles.
• Experience preparing technical reports, engineering calculations, and design recommendations.
• Experience with renewable energy, utility, transportation, commercial, or infrastructure projects is preferred.
• Knowledge of driven pile design, seismic site classification, liquefaction analysis, and foundation engineering is preferred.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain within one year preferred.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and common geotechnical engineering software.
• Strong technical writing, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams and with clients.
• Ability to travel to project sites as needed and work outdoors during field investigations.
