Associate Project Engineer, Trenchless
About The Position
As an Associate Engineer in our trenchless division, you’ll help design and support underground infrastructure projects involving horizontal directional drilling (HDD), tunneling, auger boring, direct steerable pipe thrusting, and microtunneling. Our projects involve pipeline and utility crossings beneath rivers, highways, railroads, and other sensitive areas, serving a wide range of sectors, including municipal water and wastewater, renewable energy such as offshore wind farms, and oil and natural gas infrastructure. Working alongside experienced engineers, you’ll perform calculations and engineering analyses, evaluate subsurface conditions, develop trenchless designs, assess potential construction impact, and provide technical support during construction. You’ll also prepare construction drawings using AutoCAD as part of the design process. This role combines engineering analysis, design, report writing, and field experience. You’ll build on your knowledge of soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, geology, and engineering mechanics while learning how ground conditions and construction methods influence design decisions.
