About the role

  • Review and interpret geotechnical, geological, and geophysical data to characterize site conditions for seismic hazard and site response analyses;
  • Perform equivalent linear and nonlinear site response, seismic slope stability, and deformation analyses;
  • Compile and evaluate historical seismicity data, seismic source models, and ground motion models for seismic hazard analyses;
  • Develop ground motion time histories using scaling and spectral matching methods;
  • Perform liquefaction triggering analyses, assess consequences, and develop design mitigation strategies;
  • Evaluate and implement new models and methods for seismic hazard assessments and geotechnical earthquake engineering evaluations;
  • Prepare calculation packages and reports that document the approach, inputs, analyses, and results of seismic assessments;
  • Prepare and deliver presentations and engage in technical discussions with colleagues and clients;
  • Conduct geotechnical and geophysical field investigations, site visits, and inspections in support of seismic instrumentation and earthquake engineering projects.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in civil engineering, earth sciences, or related field. (required)
  • At least 2 years of related experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience in seismic hazard analysis and/or geotechnical earthquake engineering. (required)
  • Willingness to learn, desire to collaborate and work as a team, and ability to be resourceful and find solutions to challenging technical problems. (required)
  • Experience with seismic hazard, geotechnical, and engineering tools such as Slope/W, FLAC, Plaxis, HAZ45, RSPMatch, Deepsoil/RSSeismic, or Strata. (preferred)
