• Prepare and review technical reports, data reports, and baseline reports
• Use computer programs including Settle3D, Slide, LPILE, AutoCAD, Shaft, FB-Mulit Pier, Deep Xcav, GRLWeap, Phase2D, Plaxis, FLAC, and MathCAD to complete engineering analysis and prepare design calculations
• Prepare design drawings and construction specifications and review construction submittals for compliance with the contract requirements and design assumptions.
• Work in collaborative multi-disciplinary teams across North America and the world. Share technical knowledge across geographical boundaries to foster innovative project solutions.

• 2 to 5 years of experience within Tunnels, Trenchless, or Geotechnical Engineering
• BS Degree in Civil Engineering
• You will be expected to demonstrate a strong technical knowledge of the principles of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical and trenchless design, and be able to effectively work within a multi-disciplinary team

• Master’s Degree (emphasis in Geotechnical Engineering) as preferred
