Overhead Contact System Ocs Engineer jobs at Jacobs in United States, Boston

By joining us as a Geotechnical Engineer, you will lead geotechnical tasks, provide leadership to geotechnical staff, and lead the delivery for on a wide variety of projects, with a focus on transport infrastructure and water markets. These projects will include both conventional design-bid-build projects, as well as design-build projects.

Your responsibilities will include leading projects in the development and implementation of geotechnical data collection programs, geotechnical analyses, preparation of reports, development of contract documents, and providing support during project construction. Each day, you will have the opportunity to follow projects from concept development through the construction phase with our engineers.

You will also be responsible for coordination and oversight of subsurface investigation programs, preparation of geotechnical engineering and foundation recommendation reports, preparation of geotechnical specifications, design and analysis of foundation and ground retention systems, and construction monitoring experience of pile foundations and drilled shafts.

Technical skills that are required to serve in this role include, but are not necessarily limited to, knowledge and experience in the following areas:

Exploration methods, geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring, and laboratory testing for soil and rock;

Experience with design, construction, and inspection of water and transport infrastructure projects;

Design of typical geotechnical structures, such as shallow and deep foundations, earth retaining structures, embankment and cut slopes, and ground improvement;

Preparation of technical reports, design drawings and specifications

Familiarity with computer programs for geotechnical analyses, such as SETTLE3D, APILE, LPILE, GRLWEAP, DeepEx, SLIDE or SLOPE, MATHCAD, FB-Multipier, PLAXIS 2D and 3D, or FLAC 2D and 3D; and

Working knowledge of AutoCAD/Civil3D

Python programming and application of AI and ML in geotechnical engineering would be an added advantage.

We regularly work with geotechnical, highway, and hydraulic engineers so you will use your general understanding of those disciplines to coordinate project work. As a lead engineer, we’ll expect you to assist less experienced teammates on transportation engineering projects to ensure that goals or objectives of these projects are accomplished within prescribed time frame and funding parameters. One way you will continue to develop professionally, is when we ask you to be active in technical societies and be available to attend meetings or events outside of normal working hours.
