About this role

Geotechnical Engineer 5 With general direction, performs and leads engineering for dams, levees, embankments, spillways, outlet works, and critical water infrastructure across the western United States. This role is centered on dam safety, flood-risk reduction, and delivery of complex, meaningful projects with direct public-safety impact. You will join a supportive, multidisciplinary team within a nationally recognized dams and levees practice, with opportunities for technical leadership, project delivery responsibility, and long-term career growth in an employee-owned firm. Primary responsibilities include: • Performs issue identification and preliminary evaluations for existing dams and levees through inspection, condition assessment, instrumentation review, performance history, and surveillance data. Ensures that firm policies and practices are followed on all designs. • Supports needs definition and basis-of-design development for new dam, levee, and water infrastructure projects. • Plans and performs geologic and geotechnical field investigations, including explorations, drilling, sampling, in-situ testing, laboratory testing, and site reconnaissance. • Develops geotechnical and geologic characterization models to support alternatives analysis, design criteria, and risk assessment. • Perform or supports site-specific seismic hazard assessments (SSHA), including probabilistic and deterministic analyses, site response modeling, and development of seismic loading parameters. • Performs conceptual and feasibility-level alternatives analyses for dams, levees, spillways, foundations, and appurtenant structures, integrating geotechnical performance, constructability, cost, schedule, and risk considerations. • Develops risk-reduction measures and improvement alternatives consistent with FEMA, FERC, and state dam safety guidelines. • Performs and reviews stability, seepage, settlement, liquefaction, and deformation analyses for dams and levees using numerical modeling and spreadsheet methods to assess
