THIS ROLE: This position is specific to dredging production estimating and all geotechnical related aspects of dredging. The goal of this position is to assist the Director of DEPTH (Dredge Engineering, Production, Technology, and Hydrography) in bidding projects, review geotech of ongoing projects and analyze production based on geotech for historical record in use of future bidding.

WHAT YOULL DO:

Bidding

Conduct pre-bid or pre-project geotechnical studies and campaigns Analyze soil samples, borehole data, and geophysical survey results to determine dredgeability and material behavior. Develop soil stratification models and assess their impact on dredging methods and equipment/bucket selection. Geotechnical analysis and deliverables for upcoming bids Generate drawings and template files from project plans Calculate out production metrics for upcoming bids Quantity take-off calculations for bids Participate in the review phase of dredging projects of interest from contracts funnel Produce production, survey and operations take-offs Assist in generating technical submittals needed for proposals Collaborate with environmental specialists to ensure compliance with regulatory and environmental permitting requirements. Review historical geotechnical information relevant to bids Provide engineering input on sediment consolidation, settlement, and disposal site suitability.

Project Production Record actual versus expected sediment encountered Record actual production rates based on sediment encountered High level strategies and planning for each ongoing project based on geotech Monitor current project production metrics and provide guidance on analytics to improve overall project production based on Geotech. Work closely with project teams to mitigate geotechnical risks related to slope cutting, sediment transport, bed levelling, and foundation conditions. Work with and manage third party geological consultants as needed. Occasional site visits to work with field team to improve production, collect samples and analyze sediment

WHO YOU ARE:

Certifications and Other Requirements 2+ years of experience in geotechnical engineering, geology related to dredging operations, or related fields. Bachelor's or Masters degree in Geotechnical Engineering, or similar Geology related focus

Aptitudes Strong understanding of soil mechanics, sediment transport, and dredging techniques. Preferred experience with dredging equipment (cutter suction dredgers, hopper dredgers, etc.) and related operational constraints. Preferred Proficiency in AutoCAD, GIS, HYPACK,DREDGEPACK, and geotechnical analysis tools

Ability to interpret geotechnical reports, borehole logs, and hydrographic surveys Knowledge of maritime regulations, environmental compliance, and permitting requirements

Familiarity with numerical modeling of sediment transport and dredging impacts Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills Ability to work under pressure and prioritize tasks effectively Proficiency in using Microsoft Office Suit

Additional Requirements Full Time Position; minimum 40 hours Willingness to travel to project sites or Long Beach yard as needed. Ability to work on tight deadlines for estimates outside normal business hours.
