Jobs at Jacobs in United States, Milwaukee

When it comes to environmental consulting, we’re focused on cleaning up our communities today to improve tomorrow. We’re looking for a senior-level Geotechnical Engineer to join our Federal and Environmental group. You’ll be tasked with focusing on the geotechnical aspects of our environmental remediation sites for government and private-sector clients.

Based out of one of our US offices, you’ll have the opportunity to work on exciting projects nationwide, participating in a variety of office and field tasks related to planning, evaluating, designing, and implementing the geotechnical aspects of environmental remedies. You’ll apply your technical experience with the support of our global geotechnical technology team. Your analytical skills will be called upon as you evaluate site conditions, determine geotechnical design data needs, assess remedial alternatives, perform engineering calculations, and develop designs. You’ll use your technical writing skills to prepare work plans, reports, and design documents, including design specifications. You’ll also be expected to be a resource and leader to our team of junior and mid-level engineers, passing your knowledge and experiences on to others.

As a Senior level Engineer, you’ll work side-by-side with Design Managers and discipline leads, but you will be called on to take ownership of your own assigned tasks. You’ll be handling work on multiple projects, so we’ll rely on you to prioritize effectively, keeping the big picture in mind. You may spend up to 10% to 15% of your time in the field to help kick off important field events and taking time to train and guide junior staff in the gathering of high-quality geotechnical and other design data.

Safety will be your priority, as you contribute to “incident free” operations and maintain the highest standards of Health & Safety in everything you do both in the office and the field.

Using your experience, you’ll be responsible for:

• Preparing urban and rural roadway and highway designs using both Bentley and Autodesk design software.

• Developing plans, prepare technical specifications, develop quantities and estimates, complete peer reviews, and compile design documentation.

• Coordinating with design discipline leads.

• Promoting Jacobs quality control practices through all phases of design and plans production.
