Field Engineer - Eustis Engineering

Eustis Engineering is currently looking for Field Engineers for Instrumentation Projects!

A Eustis Engineering Field Engineer coordinates site access, performs field testing, installs geotechnical monitoring instrumentation, conducts/assists (in) geotechnical explorations, makes site observations, and summaries their services in engineering reports. Our Field Engineer will also assist in downloading and manipulating field measurements, assigning geotechnical soil mechanics laboratory tests, performing geotechnical engineering analyses, and evaluation of laboratory testing data.

More specifically, his/her duties include:

• Design, install, and maintain instrumentation systems (total stations, inclinometers, vibrating wire piezometers, borehole extensometers, observation wells, seismographs, etc.); collect and interpret monitoring data; and prepare reports.
• Drive an F-150 truck (or similar vehicle) pulling a trailer.
• Support our full instrumentation team and senior professional engineers.
• Monitor a variety of equipment (optical targets/prisms, vibration monitors, strain gauges, tiltmeters, crack monitors, vibrating wire piezometers, inclinometers, etc.).
• Maintain and troubleshoot instrumentation equipment.
• Prepare instrumentation/monitoring proposals and cost estimates based on contract drawings and agency requirements.
• Prepare monitoring plans for submission to regulatory agencies to monitor construction.
• Travel to project sites as required including occasional overnight stays.
• Operate and maintain the company’s cone penetrometer equipment.
• Reduce and correlate soil test data and CPT data.
• Operate and maintain the company’s Pile Driving Analyzers.
• Perform dynamic pile testing.
• Operate and maintain other field testing equipment (resistivity, CSL, PIT, etc.).
• Maintain instrumentation equipment calibration records.
• Support of the firm’s geotechnical instrumentation and remote sensing programs.
• Obtain, process, correlate, evaluate, and plot geotechnical field instrumentation data.
• Coordinate project requirements with client representatives.
• Prepare permit requests for geotechnical field explorations.
• Coordinate field exploration operations including utility locates (One Call).
• Prepare field work orders and laboratory assignments in accordance with predetermined project budgets.
• Perform standard geotechnical engineering analyses and evaluations generally covered in undergraduate curricula.
• Provide supplemental support for the engineering department as described previously.
• Develop and manage the company's GIS and geologic mapping resources.
• Conduct field tests with a degree of accuracy required by governing test standard or oversight agency.
• Maintain daily log of construction and inspection activities in proper report format when on construction sites.
• Prepare sketches of construction activities to accompany field reports.
• Observe work in progress to ensure procedures are followed, and materials used conform to the project’s specifications.
• On an as needed basis, work as a field Soil Technician or Engineering Technician.
• On an as needed basis, work as a Laboratory Technician.
• Knowledge of the Unified Soil Classification System.
• Knowledge of the AASHTO Soil Classification System.
• Application of the general safety requirements and other contractual safety requirements to the work being performed.
• Attend occasional project meetings.
• Participate in local professional societies (ASCE, ACI, ACEC, etc.).
