• Perform and oversee geological evaluations including site reconnaissance, geologic hazard assessments, subsurface interpretation, grading feasibility evaluations, and site suitability analyses.
• Prepare, review, and contribute to geological and geotechnical reports, technical memoranda, exhibits, and recommendations. Interpret subsurface data (borings, test pits, CPTs, field mapping) and collaborate with geotechnical engineers to support design and permitting.
• Provide expert input related to soils, rock, groundwater conditions, slope stability, seismic hazards, and earthwork constraints.
• Collaborate with civil engineering, land use planning, surveying, and natural resources teams to deliver integrated project solutions.
• Participate in project kickoff meetings, internal coordination efforts, and client meetings to represent geological considerations.
• Perform site visits and field observations to evaluate soil and groundwater conditions.
