Summary:
The person in this position will be part of an innovative and collaborative geotechnical engineering team of over 90 geotechnical engineers and geologists. Barr's geotechnical engineering team serves the fuels, mining, power, and public sectors. We provide a wide array of services related to foundations, dams, embankments, landslides, soil-structure interaction, earth-retaining structures, excavations, and underground structures. We also offer geotechnical services for ground improvement, geotechnical modeling, instrumentation and monitoring, in-situ testing, geophysics, soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, geosynthetics, geohazard assessments, and groundwater and seepage.
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.
Key Responsibilities:
- 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
- On-site investigation tasks may include classifying soil and rock samples, collecting samples for field screening and laboratory analysis, and field electrical resistivity testing
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
- A flexible working style and willingness to modify personal schedules when required to meet deadlines and client needs
- 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
- Possession of a valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
Preferred Qualifications:
- Academic coursework directly related to the job responsibilities described above
- Proven task or project management skills
- Extensive construction materials testing experience
