# Project Overview:

This position is dedicated to the Micron project in Clay, New York - a large-scale semiconductor manufacturing facility involving extensive deep foundation and earthwork construction.

#

Job Summary:

Bechtel is seeking a Field Geotechnical Engineer to provide on-site engineering support and supervision for deep foundation and earthwork construction at the site. This role is primarily field-based; the majority of the work will involve on-site supervision of drilled shaft construction socketed into rock and earthwork with ground improvement consisting of over-excavation and replacement with engineered granular fill.

The position is part of the Geotechnical & Hydraulic Engineering Services (G&HES) group. The successful candidate will report to and receive technical supervision and functional oversight from the G&HES Group Supervisor / Geotechnical Engineering Manager or their designee, and is expected to work independently in the field while coordinating closely with Construction, CSAOM, ES&H, and the project management team. The role is site-based at the Micron project for an extended duration, with potential transition to another Bechtel project or permanent office thereafter and may require travel to other Bechtel and client offices.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a commitment to Bechtel's diversity & inclusion, leadership, quality, and safety values are required.

# Major Responsibilities:

The majority of this field-based role involves on-site supervision of (1) drilled shaft construction socketed into rock and (2) earthwork with ground improvement consisting of over-excavation and replacement with engineered granular fill, in accordance with applicable procedures, codes, standards, and contract requirements. Specific tasks will include (but are not limited to):

** _Drilled shaft construction socketed into rock_*
* + Provide on-site technical supervision during drilled shaft installation socketed into rock, verifying shaft location, plumbness, diameter, and rock socket length/embedment against the approved drawings and specifications.

+ Verify rock socket conditions - rock type and quality, sidewall roughness, and base cleanout - and coordinate with home-office engineering on any deviations from the design basis.

+ Observe and document reinforcement cage fabrication and placement and concreting operations (tremie placement, concrete mix verification, slump/flow, temperature, and test cylinder preparation).

+ Review installation logs, concrete delivery tickets, and inspection records for quality and specification compliance.

+ Support and witness drilled shaft load testing programs (static, bi-directional, or dynamic), including verification of equipment calibration, observation of testing, and preliminary review of results.

** _Earthwork and ground improvement (over-excavation and granular replacement)_*
* + Provide on-site supervision of earthwork and ground improvement consisting of over-excavation of unsuitable material and…
