THIS ROLE
This position is focused on dredging production estimating and all geotechnical-related aspects of dredging. The goal is to assist the Director of DEPTH (Dredge Engineering, Production, Technology, and Hydrography) in bidding projects, reviewing geotechnical information for ongoing projects, and analyzing production based on geotech for historical records to inform future bidding. WHAT YOU’LL DO
Bidding
Conduct pre-bid or pre-project geotechnical studies and campaigns Analyze soil samples, borehole data, and geophysical survey results to determine dredgeability and material behavior Develop soil stratification models and assess their impact on dredging methods and equipment/bucket selection Geotechnical analysis and deliverables for upcoming bids Generate drawings and template files from project plans Calculate production metrics for upcoming bids Quantity take-off calculations for bids Participate in the review phase of dredging projects from the contracts funnel Produce production, survey and operations take-offs Assist in generating technical submittals needed for proposals Collaborate with environmental specialists to ensure regulatory and environmental permitting requirements are met Review historical geotechnical information relevant to bids Provide engineering input on sediment consolidation, settlement, and disposal site suitability Project Production
Record actual versus expected sediment encountered Record actual production rates based on sediment encountered High-level strategies and planning for each ongoing project based on geotech Monitor current project production metrics and provide guidance on analytics to improve overall project production based on geotech Work closely with project teams to mitigate geotechnical risks related to slope cutting, sediment transport, bed leveling, and foundation conditions Work with and manage third-party geological consultants as needed Occasional site visits to work with field teams to improve production, collect samples, and analyze sediment WHO YOU ARE
Certifications and Other Requirements
2+ years of experience in geotechnical engineering, geology related to dredging operations, or related fields Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering or a similar Geology-related focus Aptitudes
Strong understanding of soil mechanics, sediment transport, and dredging techniques Preferred experience with dredging equipment (cutter suction dredgers, hopper dredgers, etc.) and related operational constraints Preferred proficiency in AutoCAD, GIS, HYPACK, DREDGEPACK, and geotechnical analysis tools Ability to interpret geotechnical reports, borehole logs, and hydrographic surveys Knowledge of maritime regulations, environmental compliance, and permitting requirements Familiarity with numerical modeling of sediment transport and dredging impacts Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills Ability to work under pressure and prioritize tasks effectively Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite Additional Requirements
Full-time position; minimum 40 hours Willingness to travel to project sites or Long Beach yard as needed Ability to work on tight deadlines for estimates outside normal business hours Curtin Maritime is an equal opportunity employer.
