Staff Engineer, Geotechnical – Hybrid Field & Design

GEI is seeking a motivated civil engineer with advanced education in geotechnical engineering (preferred) to assist with complex and challenging projects at locations in California and throughout the United States. GEI's California engineering practice provides services on a wide range of projects including levees, dams and dam appurtenances, instrumentation, excavation support systems, building and bridge foundations, flood walls, tunnels, and ground treatment.

Entry level engineers support senior staff and plan, observe and document field explorations and construction activities, perform and review analyses and design calculations, and assist in the preparation of technical correspondence, including reports, letters, and design memos.

Job Flexibility

GEI is instituting a hybrid workplace environment, which allows workers to choose from a range of options allowing a combination of work from home and in the office. This can range from a telecommuting option (work from home), work in the office a minimum of 2-days a week, or work in the office a minimum of 3-days a week. This allows for a forward-looking flexible work environment in our office of the future.

• Support senior staff on a variety of engineering projects focused on geotechnical instrumentation, geotechnical investigations, design support for other heavy civil/geotechnical projects, reinforced concrete structure design, design implementation and document preparation.
• Support the evaluation and design efforts as part of a team by performing geotechnical engineering modeling, analysis, and design calculations.
• Prepare design and construction drawings and specifications using computer aided design and drafting equipment.
• Prepare written documentation, including technical memos, reports, and construction specifications.
• Prepare cost estimates, schedules, and construction documents, monitor construction activities in the field.
• Work out of office on field assignments up to 50% of the time. Potential work on out of area temporary assignments is expected with project durations of up to 2-3 weeks at a time.
• Assisting with proposals and business development activities.
