דרושים Geotechnical Engineering Co-op - August – December ב-Jacobs ב-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.

Thriving communities. Healthy cities. A brighter future. What we do is more than engineer roads, we work everyday to make the world better for everyone. If you want to join a company invested in you and your success, join us as a H
ighway Engineering Professional. By joining us, you'll have the chance to work on exciting and engaging large-scale infrastructure projects and utilize your highway/roadway design expertise to work on transportation related projects. You’ll work with some of the best Engineers and Project Managers in the business, as well as gain experience working directly with our clients. You will solve a range of straightforward problems; analyze possible solutions using standards procedures. You will receive a moderate level of guidance and direction performing a range of mainly straightforward assignments. We want you to be empowered to deliver the boldest solutions for everyday living. As a member of our transportation team, you’ll have the chance to work on a challenging project where we’ll depend on your expertise, intuition, and leadership with planning, directing, and monitoring all aspects of projects. You’ll be considered a key member of our team and be tasked with developing the civil design for transportation (highway/roadway/rail) related projects using local (State, County or City) or AASHTO standards at both conceptual and final design levels.

Using your experience, you’ll also do the following:

- Prepare roadway and highway designs using cad and modeling software.

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

- Coordinate with design discipline leads.

Your impact

You’ll work alongside professional engineers and designers, gaining exposure to project coordination, relevant computer-assisted engineering software, data collection and so much more.

The Boston office of Jacobs seeks Co-op(s) to work in our Geotechnical Group from August 2025 – December 2025.

Work is checked in progress and upon completion.

Occasional tasks of a routine and repetitive nature may be required depending on the project requirements.

Performing of a variety of duties including inspections of exploratory and construction related activity, specifically,subsurface investigation and laboratory testing programs,taking field notes, drafting of construction plans, providing construction phase services (as-built drawing and RFI review, meeting minutes), performing calculations, assisting in other miscellaneous tasks such as organizing reports, and packaging submissions.

Work will involve a mix of both office-based and field-based assignments. Please note in your application or resume if you have any limitations to perform daytime or nighttime field work.
