Responsibilities
- Carry out field surveys and geological mapping to detect potential ground hazards including landslides, subsidence, soil liquefaction, and unstable slopes.
- Inspect structural reinforcement systems and rock grouting applications in the field.
- Execute geotechnical and geological site evaluations involving soil and rock conditions.
- Create geological cross-sections, models, and maps to inform transportation project planning and construction.
- Evaluate geotechnical data and produce comprehensive risk analyses and geological reports.
- Work closely with civil and structural engineers, planners, and transportation agencies to incorporate geological insights into design processes.
- Ensure all work adheres to applicable environmental, safety, and transportation regulations at federal, state, and local levels.
- Manage logistics for field operations and supervise drilling, test pits, groundwater monitoring, probe hole installation, and permeability tests.
- Monitor and oversee geotechnical instrumentation for ground deformation and vibration tracking.
- Produce detailed field documentation such as geologic maps, boring logs, probe records, and in-situ test results, along with calculations verifying construction compliance.
- Support on-site construction oversight to ensure implementation of geological recommendations during project execution.
- Clearly convey technical findings to stakeholders, including agency representatives, project leads, and regulatory bodies.
