• Prepare high-quality technical deliverables (reports, memos, calculations, specifications) and contribute to QA/QC and peer reviews to maintain strong technical standards.
• Support proposals and client engagement by contributing to scope/approach, resourcing and risk considerations, and presenting technical solutions to clients and stakeholders as needed.
• Mentor junior staff through day-to-day technical coaching, knowledge sharing, and supportive guidance within the geotechnical team.
