- Assist with scoping, developing budgets, executing, monitoring, and interpreting subsurface exploration programs
- Monitor and log test boring explorations including visual identification and classification of soil and rock materials and preparation of boring logs using multiple logging software programs
- Install and monitor geotechnical instrumentation systems
- Review and interpret the results from geotechnical laboratory testing programs
- Perform geotechnical calculations and analyses involving interpretation of subsurface conditions, soil mechanics, foundation engineering, and slope stabilization
- Perform geotechnical analyses with computer models for slope/embankment stability, braced excavations, pile and drilled shaft foundation capacities, shallow foundation capacities, MSE wall foundation design and foundation/embankment settlement estimates
- Prepare geotechnical data reports and report-quality calculation packages
- Write technical reports, design memoranda, field reports, cost estimating, specifications and permit documents
- Safely perform work in the office and field; fieldwork may occur in all seasonal weather conditions, using equipment (with an ability to lift and move approximately 50 pounds without assistance) and operating vehicles on behalf of the company
