E.I.T Geotechnical Project Engineer: Ground Improvement

Become a Project Engineer for Geo Structures, Inc.

Responsibilities

In this position, you will gain experience that many Geotechnical Engineers seek early in their careers. As a design-build firm, we offer the opportunity to see the installation of your designs. You will gain cradle-to-grave experience in DESIGN, from preliminary design during the sales phase, through value engineering, to final design before mobilization to the construction site.

This role involves more than soil testing or report writing. You will use geotechnical reports to develop solutions for foundation challenges and perform state-of-the-practice engineering analyses for various geotechnical applications. You will produce construction drawings and calculations for ground improvement, earth retention, and ground modification projects.

When our installation crews mobilize, your expertise will be vital, and you'll see the tangible results of your work and its value to Geo Structures.

Qualifications

Qualified candidates should have an E.I.T. certification, a Master's Degree (preferred) in Geotechnical Engineering, or an undergraduate Civil Engineering Degree with relevant industry experience. Knowledge of software such as LPILE, SLIDE, GSTABL, SETTLE3D, MSEW, and Microsoft Office is a plus.

Applicants must have US work authorization.
