JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design Engineers support the sales and operations teams both in the office and in the field. During the
design stage, design engineers have the following responsibilities:
- Reviewing and becoming familiar with reference background information such as geotechnical exploration reports, project specifications and civil/structural plans for use during design and preparation of the design drawings and calculations.
- Analyzing various ground improvement approaches and selecting the option that meets the project criteria which typically includes settlement, bearing capacity, global and sliding stability, liquefaction mitigation, and others.
- Developing cross sections, generating soil profiles, and selecting soil properties for use during design.
- Performing finite element modeling using Plaxis, as needed, to understand complex soil- structure interactions and estimate deformations and stresses within the soil and ground improvement elements.
- Performing all required design calculations and analyses including, but not limited to, global stability, settlement, bearing capacity, and structural and geotechnical capacity of CMCs.
- Coordinating or preparing design documents (final design calculations and drawings) adhering to the design criteria.
As field activity progresses, the design engineer’s responsibilities also include:
- Reviewing all QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) from the Field Engineer.
- Preparing other standard project documents including specifications, means and methods, and testing submittals.
- Responding quickly to questions from the project team and any conditions that are not in accordance with the design.
Throughout the design process and field activities:
- Defending and explaining the design approach and decisions made in the field that relate to design.
- Responding to comments from reviewers and participating in discussions with other members of the design team to achieve approval and acceptance of the ground improvement system.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILL AND ABILITIES:
- Understands of basic geotechnical design and calculation principles.
- Proficient with slope stability analysis and finite element modeling.
- Proficient with MS Word, Excel and Outlook, familiar with AutoCAD.
- Organized in the completion and documentation of all responsibilities.
- Ability to effectively communicate in a small group setting, present objectives of projects, policies, facilitate sessions and provide/receive feedback.
- Strong communication skills (oral and written) for use with clients, engineers, architects.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to develop ideas and offer alternatives to facilitate solutions.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks, activities and commitments.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:
Master’s or bachelor’s degree in civil engineering plus 1 – 3 years of geotechnical design experience or coursework prefer. E.I.T (Engineer-In-Training) preferred.
-OR-
Any equivalent combination of education and experience which meets the required knowledge, skills and abilities.
