Interpret field test data (SPT, sCPT, FVST, DMT) and estimate soil engineering properties for design
Assigns lab tests and interpret results
Estimates deep foundation lateral and axial capacities
Designs bulkheads, retaining walls, and floodwalls
Designs wall structural components, including wales, tierods, tiebacks, cap beams, etc.
Develops plans and specifications
Help resolve design problems that may include performing field investigation or inspections, detailed design work, and detailed checking of design computations done by others, or general coordination of specific design aspects into a project
Calculates construction quantity estimates
Works closely with other architects, engineers, scientists, project managers, etc. on multi-discipline projects
Performs office-based construction administration including review of shop drawings and technical submittals
Performs construction site inspections and prepare inspection reports
