About the Job
Job Title: Staff Engineer
General Description
Are you interested in working in a dynamic environment building the power generation and transmission infrastructure required to meet present and future needs in North America? Quanta Infrastructure Solutions Group (QISG) is a rapidly growing construction management and geo-structural engineering company within the Quanta Services (Quanta) family of companies. Quanta, the largest civil construction work force in North America focused on the Power Generation and Transmission Sector, is meeting the nation’s energy, utility, and communication needs head on. QISG is seeking staff geotechnical and/or structural engineering professionals interested in working to support large-scale engineering and construction projects throughout North America by providing geo-structural design solutions to our construction partners and clients.
About this Role
A Staff Engineer within QISG is involved in a variety of geo-structural engineering projects with a focus on foundation engineering and an emphasis on design-build delivery methods for large-scale energy generation and transmission-related projects. Collaborating with an in-house, multi-disciplinary engineering and construction team — including civil, structural, geotechnical, construction management, and construction experts — a Staff Engineer within QISG plays a crucial role in providing geo-structural design solutions on large scale projects; responsibilities include supporting design production, contributing to the development of construction drawings and specifications, and engineering support during construction. This role is an office-based position with a primary focus on executing pre-construction geotechnical investigations, geotechnical and structural engineering calculations and modeling, and design document development to support foundation, retaining wall, and/or general civil construction. The Staff Engineer will be expected to apply standard and advanced engineering principles, under the direct oversight of a Professional Engineer, to solve complex problems. A successful candidate is able to utilize sound engineering judgement, field data collected by themselves or others, and digital technologies to develop economical solutions to support civil construction and communicate effectively with project management, technical, and construction personnel.
