• Develop and review engineering calculations for stability analysis, bearing capacity, settlement, and global stability.
• Evaluate geotechnical reports, site drawings, grading plans, and soil parameters to inform wall design and site improvements.
• Coordinate with clients, contractors, engineers, geotechnical consultants, and municipal inspectors throughout design and construction.
• Visit active project sites to observe installation, troubleshoot field issues, verify conformance with plans, and document conditions.
• Support design revisions, RFIs, substitution reviews, and value-engineering studies during construction.
• Prepare project scopes, budgets, schedules, material take-offs, and technical proposals for estimation and field team guidance.
• Maintain organized design files, calculation packages, revision records, inspection documentation, and project correspondence.

What you'll need
