Senior Geotechnical Engineer

Senior Geotechnical Engineer

We are hiring a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to provide specialized engineering expertise for complex federal facilities design and construction projects.

This role is well suited for an experienced Geotechnical PE who can independently evaluate challenging soil, foundation, pavement, and site conditions while collaborating with multidisciplinary design and construction teams. You'll contribute throughout the project lifecycle, from early scoping and design through construction, field evaluation, and resolution of unforeseen conditions.

• Provide independent, timely, and professional geotechnical engineering support for the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of Navy, Marine Corps, and other supported federal facilities.
• Support minor works projects, specific projects, special projects, military construction (MILCON), demolition, maintenance, space utilization, and facilities development.
• Coordinate activities involving geotechnical and pavement engineering in accordance with applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC).
• Participate in project conferences and collaborate with engineering and architectural disciplines to ensure designs are coordinated with project requirements.
• Support the design of in-house projects and development of Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for complex projects.
• Review specifications, drawings, cost information, designs, and RFPs prepared by consultant Architects-Engineers (AEs).
• Support the development of final working drawings using current AutoCAD technology.
• Monitor construction to verify that geotechnical aspects of projects comply with contract plans and specifications.
• Review contractor submittals, including shop drawings, material samples, and other design-related documentation.
• Work with construction contractors and designers to resolve field problems and latent conditions that arise during construction.
• Recommend appropriate corrective and preventative measures.
• Help ensure changes involving cost, quantity, scope, schedule, design, or other contract terms and conditions are properly coordinated or approved.
• Apply engineering judgment across projects involving varied construction methods, geotechnical criteria, seismic activity, climatic conditions, code requirements, cost estimating, and complex coordination requirements.
• Analyze geotechnical data and apply professional experience to evaluate and predict foundation shear strength and settlement potential for encountered materials.
• Determine appropriate soil testing parameters for structural foundation design.
• Conduct field visits to project sites for scoping, design, and construction evaluations.
• Inspect existing soil and foundation conditions to identify potential problems and recommend corrective measures.
• Interface with customers and other stakeholders to provide technical consultation and gather information needed for project scoping, design, failure analysis, and development of remedial measures.

• U.S. Citizenship. This is required.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a NACI/CAC. This is required.
• Professional Engineer (PE) registration in Geotechnical Engineering OR Civil/Structural Engineering with an emphasis in Geotechnical Engineering. This is required.
• A minimum of 10 years of professional geotechnical engineering experience involving code-compliant facilities design for new construction, including renovation design experience. This is required.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to independently manage multiple assignments and deadlines.
• Knowledge and experience applicable to geotechnical investigations, soil and foundation conditions, settlement analysis, foundation design, and construction support.
• Ability to work effectively with contractors, designers, architects, engineers, customers, and other project stakeholders.

• Completion of an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited…
