Terracon is offering a fantastic opportunity to join our growing Alternate Delivery organization. This group works on larger transportation projects across the US and the position can be filled anywhere within the US. In this role, you will provide engineering and consulting services for transportation projects and clients, including field investigations, engineering analysis, calculations, and recommendations; design and development of plans and specifications; observation and inspection; and the writing, preparation, and review of related reports. You will review drawings and construction to assure compliance with plans and specifications, prepare proposals and cost estimates, track and evaluate project progress, budgets, and recommend changes; research and resolve design and construction problems; assign, review, and evaluate laboratory or field data for inclusion in reports; and communicate complex engineering issues to technical and non-technical clients and project teams. Services may be provided for existing or proposed projects in the transportation sector. Project management and/or technical leadership experience for large-scale transportation projects is preferred, with the ability to manage all aspects of a geotechnical engineering project, including project teams, to ensure safe, on-time, within-scope and within-budget completion. Examples Of The Work Required Include
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers and project managers for analysis and design of foundations for bridges, marine structures, and large infrastructure, supporting all project phases Development of Site Characterization reports to include a geotechnical/geological narrative of site conditions along the alignment to identify difficult ground conditions and project risks Provide geotechnical design recommendations and supporting documentation for earthwork, considering planned cuts/fills, for estimating construction quantities and assessing impacts to existing or planned project improvements Perform advanced soil-structure interaction, geotechnical, and dynamic analysis using finite element software, and execute geotechnical/structural design Utilize industry-standard software for deep and shallow foundation design, providing recommendations to structural team members Geotechnical analysis to support retaining wall recommendations for individual or grouped retaining structures with same general conditions Analyses Required
External stability analysis (bearing resistance, sliding, overturning, eccentricity) Settlement analyses (short-term, total, rate) Rotational stability Identify geotechnical risk items that may adversely impact design and/or construction costs/schedules Essential Roles and Responsibilities
