Construction Design Group

Geo Engineers is seeking a Project engineer to join our Construction Design Discipline in Portland, Oregon. As part of our team, you will deliver engineering solutions for temporary works and design-build projects including excavation support systems, cofferdams, access trestles, working platforms, construction staging, falsework, and deep foundations. You will work directly with contractors, other geotechnical teams, and design-build partners to produce practical, constructable, and efficient designs on some of the most technically demanding projects in the region.

Your work will include structural and geotechnical engineering, building a career at the intersection of design and construction. You will contribute to a diverse project portfolio, develop technical depth under the mentorship of experienced engineers, and grow your project management responsibility while having meaningful ownership of your work.

• Contribute to the design of geo-structural solutions, including excavation support systems, ground improvement, retaining walls, work staging plans, access trestles, driven piles, micropiles, and other deep foundations.
• Complete and manage engineering analyses relevant to structural and geotechnical engineering within your area of focus such as steel design (AISC/LRFD), timber design, deep foundation design, slope stability modeling, and ground improvement design (DSM, rigid inclusions, stone columns, DDC), under the supervision of a project principal or associate.
• Development project drawings using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit.
• Apply strong problem-solving and spatial reasoning to complex site challenges to ensure constructable, efficient deliverables.
• Partner with project teams and clients to coordinate design and resolve technical issues.
• Develop project deliverables such as memos, calculation packages, and reports, and complete in-depth reviews of deliverables prepared by others.
• Support project management tasks including budget planning, field report reviews, project implementation plans, proposal development, contractor submittals, RFIs, and participate in client meetings. Manages small projects under the supervision of a certified professional engineer as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an accredited college or university;
  Master’s degree in Geotechnical or Structural Engineering preferred.
• 3+ years of related professional experience
• PE license required
• Flexibility in handling diverse project requirements and the ability to work effectively across both geotechnical and structural engineering domains
• Experience with software commonly used in geotechnical and structural design, such as MathCAD, RISA, Tedds, Civil 3D, Plaxis, CLiq, CPeT-IT, SHAFT, APile, or the Geo Studio Suite. Familiarity with specialized analysis tools such as SNAIL, DeepEX, Slope/W, L-Pile, Group, and MSEW+ is prefer reds.
• Experience with driven pile, drilled shaft or small-diameter pile/anchor testing
• Valid driver’s license

• All candidates are subject to completing background and reference checks.
• All candidates are required to participate in our medical surveillance program.
• Ability to perform a wide range of physical activities and do heavy work including exerting up to 50 pounds of force on occasion.
• Ability to perform consistent work on a PC with prolonged sitting and view of a monitor/screen.
• Ability to travel for short-term and long-term assignments as needed. Travel will typically not exceed 20%.
• All employees are responsible for conducting their work in a safe manner. This includes identifying potential safety hazards and reporting them to the designated project…
