Geotechnical Senior Engineer, Digital Infrastructure

General Responsibilities We have a unique and exciting new opportunity in our central engineering and delivery group to support large clients, primarily in our Digital Infrastructure sector! One where you get to combine your program management, technical and client experience skills while working from the location of your choice. Note: this is a civil engineering, geotechnical emphasis related position, not IT. In this new role, you will assist in the continued development of a new national geotechnical engineering program within the largest geotechnical consulting firm in the US. We have an immediate need for another innovative member of our rapidly growing, national program to manage large geotechnical engineering projects for Terracon’s largest clients. This assignment is within our Digital Infrastructure sector. This sector is seeing significant growth, and tremendous leadership opportunity awaits. You will work alongside our top consultants in this space, leveraging Terracon’s competitive advantages such as Stage1, Pivvot and Compass to deliver an unprecedented client experience. This role is for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, and in a variety of geological settings, as projects are located nationwide. You will have opportunities to lead the coordination of work for multiple teams by partnering with National Account Managers. You will also have the opportunity to grow and develop significant clients within the sector.

Your work will focus on the consistent delivery of projects within the Digital Infrastructure sector, assisting local offices in the application of innovative methods in site characterization, data visualization, and collaborative engineering for clients who must have such qualities to accomplish ambitious projects. You will work within Terracon’s Project Management Organization (PMO), assisting in the geotechnical engineering aspects of resource management, project scheduling, and budgets and forecasts. You will conduct meetings with the clients and prepare reports to communicate the status of projects to the project team and client. You will set priorities, assign tasks, and coordinate project staff to meet project targets and milestones. Essential Roles and Responsibilities Curiosity is key to this role. You will be asking questions to learn our client’s approach to site selection, design and construction and to learn from Terracon’s local experts in our offices where the projects are being executed. You will also work with the CE&D team to discover, develop and deploy innovative ways to get work done. Technical aspects of this role may include the following: Preparation of proposals and cost estimates, tracking project progress, budgets, and recommending changes. Assisting in the execution of geotechnical field exploration using standard and innovative tools. Assignment, review, and evaluation of laboratory and field data for site characterization. Geotechnical engineering analysis, calculations, and recommendations. Design and development of plans and specifications. Writing, preparation, and review of related reports for the services provided. Reviewing drawings and collaboration with construction teams to assure compliance with plans and specifications. Observation and inspection of construction. Research and resolution of design and construction problems. Communication of complex engineering issues and concepts to technical and non-technical clients and project teams in a collaborative manner. Client manager aspects of this role may include developing a programmatic approach to the client’s use of Terracon’s services as it relates to their projects’ life cycle, achieving success for the client’s project through Terracon’s local office teams, and having overall responsibility for excellence in terms of client experience. Lead Annual Business Reviews (ABRs) and monthly programmatic sync calls with select clients. Work with clients to drive innovation, programmatic improvements, and streamline work processes. Develop Geotechnical Basis of Design (GBOD) documents or other standards with clients to help drive quality and consistency within select national accounts. Work with clients to resolve project and programmatic related issues. Clients typically work on very short schedules, so responsiveness outside of typical work hours will be required. Clients in this sector are willing to pay for the value and experience you bring to their projects, and a chargeability goal of 40 to 60% will be expected. This role will initially report into the Digital Infrastructure sector. In the near future it may report to our Central Engineering and Delivery Office.
