Full-Time Senior Geotechnical Engineer III
Job Description
- Perform advanced engineering work in the design and preparation of plans for roadway embankments and slopes, retaining walls, sound barrier walls, and bridge foundations using mathematical modeling and computer programs based on currently accepted theory and practice for pile capacity and driving, soil-pier interaction, slope stability, soil nail walls, MSE walls and shoring.
- Work closely with other NCDOT teams, especially in Divisions, Roadway Design, Structure Management, Hydraulics, Traffic Control, and Project Management to provide geotechnical services.
- Develop requests for proposals and cost estimates for consultant projects.
- Review geotechnical designs prepared by in-house staff or contracted consultants to assure that final products comply with NCDOT policies, manuals, and standard practices.
- Interact directly with the consultants.
- Provide technical guidance and support to Geotechnical field offices regarding geotechnical aspects of design and construction for their construction and maintenance projects.
- Participate in value management teams to evaluate geotechnical aspects of projects and review value engineering proposals and reports.
- Participate in research advisory panels and oversight committees.
- Attend geotechnical conferences, technical meetings, and engineering professional organizations.
- Knowledge of NCDOT’s organization and operations.
- Experience using the principles and practices of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology related to highway design, construction, and maintenance to solve problems related to foundations, vibration, embankments, slope stability, walls, roadway subgrades, soft soils, and settlements.
- Experience understanding, interpreting, and explaining construction plans, provisions, specifications, policies, procedures, regulations, and laws.
- Experience interpreting and evaluating soil and rock properties and applying them to these areas of geotechnical engineering analysis: stress distribution, elastic and consolidation settlement, slope stability, retaining wall, and deep foundations.
- Computer skills using applications for pile capacity and driving, soil-pier interaction, slope stability, soil nail walls, MSE walls, and shoring.
- Solid communication skills communicating effectively and establishing and maintaining effective working relationships with other employees, employees of other state agencies, federal, and local governments, contractors, consultants, and the public.
- Bachelors degree in engineering, and
- 4+ years of relevant experience; or
- An equivalent combination of training and experience.
- Overnight travel may be required.
- We may require registration as a professional engineer by the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors.
