Geotechnical Engineer EIT

3 months ago

Lexington, United States Stantec Full time

Many of the world's top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community's interaction with water a bit differently-as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. By 2025 we're hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.

Stantec's Geotechnical practice has an immediate opportunity for a Geotechnical Engineer in Training (EIT). As a Geotechnical EIT you will provide comprehensive geotechnical services to Stantec clients from field explorations to the design and construction management of complex geotechnical structures. You will provide specialized services such as the analysis and design of foundation elements, dam and levee structures, and seismic remediation design.

Your Opportunity

  • Assists in supporting our multi-discipline teams in providing services during construction that can include submittal reviews, responses to requests for information and contract document clarifications.
  • Perform other duties of a similar nature and level as assigned.
Your Capabilities and Credentials
  • An understanding of geotechnical engineering concepts and analysis methods.
  • Ability to participate and collaborate in project team setting and to engage in creative and critical thought.
  • Ability to interpret sketches, engineering drawings, and other similar material.
  • Basic experience in Microsoft Office, and familiarity with AutoCAD Civil3D, GeoStudio, and gINT.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Willing to travel on an as-needed basis in support of geotechnical investigations, construction, and inspections.
Education and Experience
  • Bachelors degree or equivalent in Civil Engineering. Masters degree in Geotechnical Engineering discipline preferred.
  • Must have taken and successfully passed the FE exam and be an EIT.
  • Minimum of 0-5 years of experience. More than 3 years of geotechnical experience is preferred.
  • Co-op/Internship experience preferred.
  • Travel/field work 15-25% of the time (based on current project work load).

Typical office environment working with computers and working at a desk for long periods of time. Field work may include exposure to the elements including inclement weather, and lifting of moderately heavy equipment and soil/rock samples.
