The primary role for this person will be assisting with the execution and management of geotechnical engineering projects related to renewable energy. Barr has been involved in the engineering of wind energy projects since 1992-essentially the inception of the North American wind industry. Nearly 45 percent of U.S. wind power is currently supported by Barr's foundations. We have completed engineering services for over 61 GW of wind farms entering or currently in operation, and our projects can be found from Hawaii to Massachusetts. The work will involve frequent out-of-town assignments.

  • Drilling observation

  • Instrumentation installation and monitoring

  • Field investigation and contractor coordination

  • Geotechnical investigation cost estimate and proposal development

  • Surveying

  • Geotechnical construction observation

  • Preparation of drilling logs, geological maps, cross-sections, and technical reports

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in geology or related discipline

  • Strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills

  • Strong technical and problem-solving skills and attention to detail

  • Ability and willingness to work collaboratively with project team members in a high-energy work environment that encourages self-initiative

  • Willingness and ability to regularly travel

  • Ability to lift and carry equipment weighing 30 pounds or more

  • Legal authorization to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship by Barr now or in the future
