Share Email Opening Title Staff Geologist, On-Call  Description Job Purpose: The staff level engineering geologist's primary role will be to assist professional staff with duties typically related to the evaluation of geologic work plans, oversee and/or conduct field activities, as well as review and analyze geologic reports. These duties may include activities such as project planning, site specific investigations, construction observations of critical structures and essential services buildings, and geologic hazard evaluations. Extensive use of computers is expected to perform various analyses, prepare reports and graphics, and compile field data. This role is primarily a field position to support both pre-construction and construction monitoring services and will require extensive travel throughout North and South America. Initially, the entry level engineering geologist will work primarily in the field under supervision performing engineering and geologic tasks. As competency and performance increase, the engineering geologist will be assigned engineering and geologic tasks of increasing difficulty under a general level of supervision. The final progression of the staff level engineering geologist will be to perform professional engineering and geologic tasks under the direction of professional staff with little to no supervision. At this level, the engineering geologist will be assigned technical responsibilities in support of field managers and other high level technical positions. They may also be used in a minor lead capacity over other personnel. It will also be expected that the professional licensing process will be started by this level. Duties: Geologic surface mapping, rock and soil subsurface investigations, installation of downhole instrumentation, construction monitoring, and other field based geologic tasks. Operate technical instruments, track test results, and troubleshoot when issues arise Maintain equipment, including ordering parts and directing or performing preventative and repair maintenance as needed Maintain logs and write daily activity reports Perform duties in locations from urban to remote, travel domestically and internationally. Field work typically involves long working hours, with extended travel time and will be completed in all weather conditions. Complete data analysis and reporting of results in a written technical report format. Activities will include data input, generating summary tables and graphs and authoring text associated with literature review, field activities and summarizing data results along with other duties as assigned.
