• Maintaining and developing client relationships

• Providing support through training/mentorship for other geotechnical engineers

• Preparing proposals and cost estimates for geotechnical investigations

• Coordinating field and laboratory testing

• Interpreting and analyzing geotechnical data to establish engineering properties of materials and foundation recommendations

• Understanding of geotechnical deformation monitoring systems, implementation of monitoring and ground control plans for mine operations, and trigger action response plans.

• Completing geotechnical engineering analyses including rock and soil slope stability analysis, structural or kinematic stability, seepage, bearing capacity, and settlement

• Preparing technical memorandums and reports

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in geological engineering or civil engineering with a geotechnical emphasis or related
