Grow Your Career in Geotechnical Instrumentation with Terracon!
Are you a geotechnical engineer with a passion for instrumentation, data-driven design, and solving complex subsurface challenges? Terracon is seeking a Geotechnical Instrumentation Project Engineer to support and lead the design and implementation of instrumentation and monitoring programs across a diverse portfolio of projects.
In this role, you will provide engineering and consulting services for a broad array of projects and clients. Responsibilities include designing and implementing geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring systems, performing engineering analysis and calculations, and developing recommendations, plans, and specifications. You will support construction through observation and inspection and prepare and review technical reports documenting project findings and performance.
You will work as part of collaborative, multidisciplinary teams on large and often complex projects across Terracon’s national footprint. This includes partnering with engineers, geologists, construction professionals, and client stakeholders across multiple offices to deliver coordinated, high-quality solutions. The role offers significant exposure to large-scale infrastructure and energy projects where instrumentation and monitoring are critical to managing risk and informing design and construction decisions.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring programs (e.g., piezometers, inclinometers, settlement systems, remote monitoring platforms).
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams across multiple offices to plan, design, and implement instrumentation programs on complex projects.
- Support large, geographically distributed projects by integrating data, field observations, and engineering analysis into cohesive project deliverables.
- Contribute to a team-oriented environment that emphasizes knowledge sharing, consistency, and technical excellence across Terracon’s national network.
- Prepare plans, specifications, and technical reports documenting monitoring results and project performance.
- Evaluate instrumentation data trends to identify potential risks and recommend mitigation measures.
- Develop scopes of work, proposals, and cost estimates for instrumentation services.
- Track project progress, budgets, and schedules; recommend adjustments as needed.
This role can be offered as hybrid, remote, or in-person
