Position Summary

The Lead Geotechnical Engineer serves as the primary technical authority for geotechnical, dam safety, and embankment engineering activities across assigned MC Squared projects. This role is responsible for overseeing site characterization, geotechnical design, embankment and foundation evaluations, material testing oversight, and construction-phase geotechnical support. The position acts as a senior technical resource to project teams, providing engineering judgment, resolving field issues, reviewing submittals and variances, and guiding the work of project engineers, staff engineers, and field personnel.

The Lead Geotechnical Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring project compliance with USACE, SFWMD, FDOT, and other governing standards, while supporting successful execution of complex geotechnical scopes, including dams, reservoirs, cut-off walls, excavations, earthwork, grouting, and foundation systems.

Develop and review geotechnical design recommendations, construction specifications, and technical reports.
Serve as the principal responder for Requests for Information (RFIs), Requests for Variance, and Differing Site Condition (DSC) assessments.
Provide technical guidance during construction, including oversight of field investigations, instrumentation monitoring, and material testing data interpretation.
Perform geotechnical reviews of submittals, shop drawings, and contractor work plans.

Construction Support & Field Engineering

Support daily geotechnical activities on active construction sites including dams, reservoirs, levees, canals, pump stations, and earthwork projects.

Oversee testing programs related to embankment fill, soil-cement armoring, cut-off wall performance, foundation preparation, and dewatering operations.

Coordinate with field teams to resolve real-time construction issues and maintain compliance with project specifications.

Direct or review intrusive testing such as SPT sampling, Shelby tube sampling, and laboratory index and strength testing.

Project & Client Coordination

Collaborate with project managers, senior leadership, and clients to define geotechnical scope, schedule, and deliverables.

Represent MC Squared in technical meetings, design reviews, and regulatory discussions with agencies including USACE, SFWMD, SWFWMD, DOTs, and local jurisdictions.

Communicate complex geotechnical concepts clearly to multidisciplinary teams, contractors, and stakeholders.

Quality Management & Documentation

Ensure adherence to geotechnical design standards and relevant ASTM, AASHTO, USACE, and local agency requirements.

Review and sign technical memoranda, QC summaries, dam safety inspection reports, and engineering deliverables.

Oversee reporting of geotechnical activities, including daily documentation, instrumentation readings, and recommended actions.

Mentorship & Team Leadership

Provide supervision, coaching, and technical development for project engineers and staff engineers.

Support training efforts related to geotechnical field procedures, documentation, and engineering analyses.
