We are looking for an undergraduate who is looking to start their career in civil/geotechnical engineering.

General Overview:

As an Entry-Level Geotechnical Engineer, you will work closely under the supervision of the senior geotechnical engineer. You’ll assist with field observations, laboratory testing, data documentation, basic engineering calculations, and report drafting. This is a hands-on role designed to help you develop foundational skills in geotechnical engineering while supporting technicians and field crews with testing and data collection on project sites.

Key Responsibilities:

Assist with soil sampling and testing. Support field engineering activities, such as soil classification during drilling operations. You will be assigned to obtain soil samples and document field conditions for bore hole logging. Conduct soil sampling using hand tools.

Field observations of site clearing, drainage, grading, and filling operations, ensuring compliance with construction specifications, under senior geotechnical engineer supervision.

Conduct special geotechnical inspections. Serve as an on-site engineer observing and monitoring construction such as footings, drilled piers, and structural fills, and promptly reporting findings to senior engineers.

Perform geotechnical design for new foundations, perform soil and rock slope stability analysis.

Review and organize laboratory and boring test results, plot soil and rock profiles, and prepare data summaries for engineer review.

Draft geotechnical reports, including preliminary engineering recommendations with final review and approval by senior geotechnical engineers.

Help prepare proposals and bids for small and large projects, subject to senior engineer review.

Assist in developing boring programs, geological assessments, and planning special field tests to evaluate subsurface conditions.

Supervise the technical work of field technicians.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor of science degree in Civil Engineering. (Coursework or interest in geotechnical engineering preferred.)

Internship experience or relevant project experience in geotechnical engineering (preferred but not required).

Strong organizational, communication, and teamwork skills.

Willingness to work in both field and office environments. Some physical work is expected.
