State of New Hampshire
Base pay range $31.33/hr – $42.60/hr
SUMMARY To coordinate subsurface exploration activities and provide complex geotechnical engineering evaluations and analyses for the design, construction, and maintenance phases of statewide NHDOT civil engineering projects.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Education: Master’s degree from an accredited institute of higher education with a major study in engineering.
Experience: Four years of post baccalaureate experience in the practice of engineering.
OR
Education: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institute of higher education with a major study in engineering.
Experience: Six years of post baccalaureate experience in the practice of engineering.
OR
Education: Associate’s degree from an accredited institute of higher education with a major study in engineering or engineering technology.
Experience: Six years of experience in the practice of engineering at a level equivalent to Civil Engineer I (or higher), plus two additional years of experience in a position comparable to an Engineering Technician.
License/Certification Must be a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New Hampshire or a Licensed Professional Engineer in another state and obtain licensure in NH within one year of employment. Licensure designation must be in Civil, Civil Highway, Geo Technical or Structural Engineering.
Must possess a valid driver’s license and/or have access to transportation for statewide travel.
The applicant’s Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) must meet the minimum standards as established by the hiring agency.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS All accountabilities must be performed in accordance with State and Department rules and policies, including risk management, safety and environmental standards, regulations and administrative orders.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Minimum of nine credit hours of geotechnical engineering course work and two years of geotechnical experience.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Prepares engineering reports that contain geotechnical data, interpretations, evaluations, and recommendations required for the design, construction, and maintenance of roadways, bridges, building and other structures.
Reviews in-house geotechnical engineering work and reports prepared by a staff of civil engineers, geologists and earth scientists.
Participates in design phase project meetings to discuss geotechnical evaluations and implementation recommendations. Prepares contract specifications for proposed geotechnical work.
Plans and supervises design phase subsurface exploration and instrumentation programs, and directs geotechnical laboratory testing as appropriate.
Prepares and checks complex geotechnical engineering calculations for, but not limited to, slope stability of embankments and earth cuts; settlement and bearing capacity of structural foundations; lateral and axial capacity of pile, drilled shaft and mini-pile foundations; analysis of reinforced soil slopes, soil nail walls, tie back walls and MSE walls; lateral earth pressure on structures and ground improvement.
Reviews reports and documents prepared by geotechnical engineering consultants, to assure that the recommendations provide for technically sound and cost effective designs.
Provides geotechnical engineering support during the construction phase of Statewide civil engineering projects: to evaluate unanticipated geotechnical field conditions; to evaluate suitability of geo-materials for foundation support; to provide pile dynamic testing of driven piles; to inspect drilled shaft, mini-pile, tieback, soil nail, or other installations; to conduct monitoring through instrumentation; and to provide technical assistance in evaluating contractor claims.
Conducts field inspections and manages field exploration programs to determine the conditions of existing pavements and their supporting structure, designs pavement structure (including base courses), computes and/or approves structure layer thickness (including pavement type and thickness), evaluates financial, life cycle impacts of various designs, and prepares formal recommendation memos consistent with current design practice.
Assists Pavement Management Staff in the development and evaluation of engineering models for use in the Pavement Management System.
Benefits
HMO or POS Medical and Prescription Drug Benefits.
Dental Plan at minimal cost for employees and their families ($500-$1800 value).
Flexible Spending healthcare and childcare reimbursement accounts.
State defined benefit retirement plan and Deferred Compensation 457(b) plan.
Work/life balance flexible schedules, paid holidays and generous leave plan.
$50,000 state-paid life insurance plus additional low-cost group life insurance.
Incentive-based Wellness Program (ability to earn up to $500).
EOE State of New Hampshire is an equal opportunity employer. TDD Access: Relay NH 1-800-735-2964.
