Geotechnical Engineer

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

Responsibilities

• Create geotechnical data reports, geotechnical interpretation reports, geotechnical design reports for tunnel and shaft construction.
• Create temporary support of excavation designs, reports, and drawings.
• Produce tunnel lining design documentation, including lateral earth pressure calculations.
• Perform ground settlement and construction impact analysis of subsurface structures (e.g., shafts, tunnels) and 3rd party infrastructure (e.g., buildings, utilities).
• Create and oversee the implementation of settlement monitoring plans.
• Plan and execute geotechnical investigations.
• Assist in the collection and review of as-built drawings and existing geotechnical data for subsurface due diligence.
• Provide geotechnical recommendations for construction means and methods.
• Perform construction period observation and inspection.
• Support brick operations with geotechnical recommendations and testing oversight.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Geology, Engineering Geology or related discipline.
• 5+ years of tunnel inspection experience.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Master of Science in Geotechnical or Structural Engineering.
• Professional Engineer License
• Coursework in Geotechnical engineering (soils and rock) engineering, structural analysis, foundation engineering, hydrology, earthquake engineering), tunnel engineering, reinforced concrete, steel design, constituent modeling.
• Preliminary and final analysis and design experience (geotechnical investigation, slope stability analysis, support of excavation, construction impact to adjacent buildings and utilities, providing geotechnical design parameter recommendations).

Additional Requirements

• Position may require extended hours and weekend work.
• Able to travel for short and extended trips as needed. Up to 20% travel.
