Position Description: Lead, train and develop Geotechnical Design Specialists and Senior Design Specialists. Provide leadership,
geotechnical engineering analysis, input to perform technical reviews, mitigate potential design and construction risk, identify and solve construction challenges, and generate optimization opportunities for pursuit and execution of design-build and design-bid-build systems projects. Essential Duties & Key Responsibilities:
Manage Geotechnical and Structural Design Specialists and Senior Design Specialists regarding advanced technical reviews
of complex projects to assess constructability, examine design details, perform quantity takeoffs, and recommend
construction sequencing and logistics, including:
o Project specific designs, program intent, contractual obligations, division of responsibilities, and deliverables;
o Project documentation, drawings, basis of design documents, specifications, reports, and shop drawings;
o Track implementation into overall design;
o Document review for compliance with local/national code requirements;
o Potential solutions to the design/construction team for design optimization, challenges, and constructability
improvements; and
o Guidance for project non-conformances and operations issues.
Develop and maintain constructive and effective relationships with internal/external project team members, Business Unit
and Corporate leaders, subcontractors, and clients to facilitate understanding and influence design and project development.
Work in partnership with linked design disciplines to improve coordination of design concepts (e.g. geotechnical, structural,
code-compliance, building envelope and façade, MEFP, vertical transportation, acoustics, and fire).
Develop Cost Proposals & track for requested deliverables, develop appropriate hours for tasks.
Oversee organization development, staffing requirements, overall group growth related to Geotechnical/Structural focus
area.
Review weekly summary of activities and workload to identify bandwidth of staff hour availability related to Geotechnical
and Structural analysis.
Support recruitment of top-level technical talent into Turner Engineering Group (TEG), review requirements for
employment, and participate in candidate reviews.
Develop high-performing team for Geotechnical and Structural focus areas through supervision, training, coaching, and
mentoring. Ensure timely and regular feedback and completion of employee performance appraisals for all staff.
Participate in Business Development; attend meetings with design teams, developers, and Business Units to identify our
abilities for potential opportunities.
