We believe that the way we work can add meaning and value to the world. That ideas inspire positive change. That coloring outside the lines can illuminate fresh perspectives. And that small details yield important realizations. Above all, we believe that collaboration is the best way forward.

Primary Responsibilities

HDR is seeking to expand our Trenchless Services team in the Southeast. This role will provide significant opportunities for professional growth and development. The individual hired into this role will begin by honing skills related to geotechnical field investigations utilized for the design and planning of Trenchless crossings, including developing the associated laboratory programs and Geotechnical Data Reports. These skills are integral to any engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer. The next immediate goal will be for the individual to advance their skill set in gINT software, to allow for the full development of our Trenchless team\xe2\x80\x99s geotechnical database and project deliverables. The individual will learn how to assess geotechnical data and determine subsurface material characteristics and parameters, then use the information to analyze how the subsurface conditions will affect trenchless design and construction. Additional opportunities will be available to learn and/or advance skill sets in ArcGIS Pro and AutoCAD Civil 3D software, which will be used to create boring location maps, geologic maps, and geologic cross-sections.

There will be further opportunities to develop and advance skill sets related to trenchless design and construction. This may include the opportunity to assess site conditions through desktop studies and onsite reconnaissance, support engineering design efforts, and perform trenchless construction oversight and inspection.

In this role, we\'ll count on you to:

• Focus on executing comprehensive geotechnical investigations for various trenchless projects
• Fieldwork to direct and oversee subcontracted geotechnical drilling crews for the exploratory campaign, collecting geotechnical data, coordinating laboratory programs, analyzing data, and generating Geotechnical Data Reports
• Serve as a local resource to the South Atlantic Area, complete geotechnical investigations, and site visits, and attend client meetings
• Support geotechnical data management utilizing gINT software, which will also include generating gINT deliverables including boring logs and boring posts to be included on design drawings.
• Aid in geotechnical analyses of subsurface conditions, including calculating subsurface parameters required in geotechnical models such as hydraulic fracture and inadvertent returns analyses (HFIAs)
• Create geological cross sections to be utilized in HFIAs and assist in generating HFIA reports
• Advance capabilities in other software programs to allow for assistance in generating trenchless deliverables. Programs may include but aren\xe2\x80\x99t limited to, ArcGIS Pro and AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Support as needed, Trenchless engineering, design, and field services efforts across all regions and Areas (including Transportation, Water, Federal, Resources, etc. Business Groups)
• Travel as necessary, including longer-term travel, to perform fieldwork
