•Participating in field assignments: soil and rock borings, CPT soundings, geophysical testing, instrumentation installation, and construction inspections

•Analyzing field logs and lab data to support geotechnical design decisions

•Designing shallow and deep foundations, earth retaining structures, ground improvement, embankments, cut slopes, and more

•Preparation of technical reports, design drawings, and specifications

•Familiarity with computer programs for geotechnical analyses (e.g., SLIDE, LPILE, APILE, Shaft, GRLWEAP, Mathcad)

* BS in Civil or Geological Engineering

* Strong academic foundation in soil mechanics and geotechnical design principles

* Strong verbal and written communication skills.

* 0-2 years of geotechnical engineering experience

Ideally, you'll also have:
