Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) HQ Geotechnical Office in Tumwater, WA, is currently seeking a Transportation Engineer 5 (In Training) to serve as the Senior Geotechnical Engineer. This position performs senior-level professional geotechnical engineering work in accordance with their license, which constitutes the practice of engineering, effectively and independently applying judgment using state-of-the-practice and non-standard design methodologies to accomplish the work. The Senior Geotechnical Engineer works statewide within the Agency and often works with local agencies (city and county), Sound Transit, FHWA, and private sector partners to complete transportation projects. This position also functions as the primary geotechnical liaison between the HQ Geotechnical Office and other WSDOT offices or consultants working to develop and carry out mega projects and design-build and other alternative contract projects for WSDOT, considering competing interests, multiple clients, conflicting rules or practices, a range of possible solutions, or other elements that contribute to the complexity of the project. The work requires the consistent application of advanced knowledge and requires a skilled and experienced professional to function independently. Senior-level work includes devising methods and processes to resolve complex or difficult issues that potentially impact projects, the Agency, and customers. This senior-level position has full authority to plan, prioritize, and handle all duties within an assigned area of responsibility. This person is responsible for ensuring that the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction are consistent with standards of practice, national codes, and departmental policies. The State Geotechnical Engineer sets geotechnical policy, but this person assists in the development, execution, and implementation of statewide geotechnical policy.
