GEOTECHNICAL PROJECT ENGINEER

Schedule: Full-Time

Join EVS and help deliver innovative geotechnical solutions that support some of the nation's most impactful renewable energy and infrastructure projects. As a Geotechnical Project Engineer, you'll manage projects from investigation through construction, collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and provide technical expertise on utility-scale solar, BESS, substations, and other complex civil infrastructure projects. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys balancing technical analysis, client interaction, and project management while contributing to a collaborative, growth-focused team.

Manage multiple geotechnical engineering projects from proposal through completion, ensuring projects are delivered on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Develop project scopes, schedules, budgets, and work plans while coordinating field investigations, drilling subcontractors, laboratory testing, and internal project teams.

Plan and oversee subsurface investigations, reviewing boring logs, laboratory testing results, geophysical data, and site conditions to develop engineering recommendations.

Perform geotechnical engineering analyses including shallow and deep foundation design, driven pile axial and lateral capacity, settlement analyses, liquefaction evaluations, seismic site classification, groundwater assessments, and earthwork recommendations.

Develop geotechnical design recommendations for renewable energy projects including utility-scale solar facilities, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations, transmission structures, access roads, inverter pads, and tracker foundations.

Prepare and review Geotechnical Engineering Reports, Geotechnical Data Reports, foundation recommendations, design memoranda, and earthwork specifications.

Provide construction support by responding to RFIs, evaluating unexpected subsurface conditions, reviewing pile installation issues and load testing results, and collaborating with contractors to resolve field challenges.

Communicate project status, technical findings, and recommendations with clients, project managers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Participate in client meetings, proposal preparation, and business development efforts while building long-term relationships with renewable energy developers, EPC contractors, and project stakeholders.

Collaborate closely with civil, structural, electrical, and survey teams to deliver integrated engineering solutions.

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

• 3+ years of geotechnical engineering experience with increasing responsibility in project execution and technical analysis.
• Experience managing multiple engineering projects simultaneously.
• Strong understanding of soil mechanics, foundation engineering, earthwork design, and geotechnical engineering principles.
• Experience preparing technical reports, engineering calculations, and design recommendations.
• Experience with renewable energy, utility, transportation, commercial, or infrastructure projects is preferred.
• Knowledge of driven pile design, seismic site classification, liquefaction analysis, and foundation engineering is preferred.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and common geotechnical engineering software.
• Strong technical writing, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to travel to project sites as needed and work outdoors during field investigations.

You'll have the opportunity to work on meaningful renewable energy and infrastructure projects alongside talented professionals in a collaborative environment that encourages continuous learning, technical excellence, and career growth.

Whether you're expanding your project management responsibilities or deepening your geotechnical expertise, you'll find opportunities to make an impact while helping shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.
