Job description
GEI is seeking an experienced structural engineer to join our dams and water resources consulting practice. Dams, reservoirs, hydroelectric developments, and other water resources facilities are crucial components of our nation’s infrastructure, providing clean energy, water supply, and flood control. GEI serves public and private clients operating some of the largest and most interesting water resources projects in the world. Our roles include designing new facilities, upgrading existing developments, evaluating safety, and assessing risks. As part of GEI’s dams and water resources practice, you will work with the leading experts in dams and dam safety at one of the premier firms in the industry.
This position can be filled in our Woburn or Franklin (MA), Bedford (NH), Portland (ME), or Ithaca (NY) offices, with an expectation of about three days a week in-office (i.e., about two days remote). Dams in our clients’ portfolios are in some of the most spectacularly scenic parts of the country, including the Connecticut River Valley in Vermont and New Hampshire, the lakes of central Maine, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Work will occasionally require the ability and willingness to hike moderate distances (5+ miles), traverse steep terrain, climb ladders, enter narrow galleries, and access remote sites by off-road vehicle and helicopter.
Serve as structural lead, and/or project/task manager.
Oversee and review designs developed by staff engineers. Mentor and promote technical development of staff engineers.
Analyze new and existing concrete gravity dams, arch dams, buttress dams, spillways, powerhouses, intake towers, penstocks, dam gates, and similar structures for stresses, stability, and performance under extreme loads.
Analyze and design other facilities as needed, including foundations, retaining walls, temporary works, and special structures.
Develop and evaluate alternatives for new facilities and upgrades to existing projects.
Complete detailed design calculations and prepare contract documents and technical specifications.
Inspect ongoing dam and water resources construction projects for conformance with design requirements.
Inspect existing projects as part of regulatory compliance programs (e.g., FERC Part 12D).
Participate in semi-quantitative risk analysis workshops.
Prepare formal written reports, give presentations, and participate in internal and client meetings.
Prepare scopes of work, budgets, and schedules.
