The Hampton Roads Connector Partners JV (HRCP) consisting of Flatiron, Dragados USA and VINCI has been selected to construct the $3.3BN Design Build project –the largest civil construction contract ever awarded by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The project scope across a 9-mile section of the I-64 will include: a new 3.5-mile bridge-tunnel crossing that will accommodate a total of 8 lanes of capacity across the water, replacement of the existing marine approach bridges and the addition of a third lane on I-64 in each direction. The twin 45’ diameter 1.5-mile tunnels will be bored by TBM, creating the second largest TBM tunnel opening for a TBM in North America. The project is expected to continue to the end of 2025.
Position Responsibilities:
As discipline expert, lead the overall oversight of design joint ventures geotechnical design and constructability challenges fort the project. This includes but is not limited to: oversight on all geotechnical temporary and permanent works design, quality of engineering solutions and deliverables, and coordination of design throughout design development and construction.
Define the geotechnical assumptions for the temporary works, providing project engineering expertise, including but not limited to: preparation of design criteria and basis, and performing specialized engineering, analysis and design
Lead taskforce meetings and perform interdisciplinary peer/constructability review of design deliverables for optimization compliance with contract documents, and identification and implementation new technologies that provide unique solutions to complex technical issues
Ensure the consistency of the geotechnical approach over the whole project
Provide engineering recommendations and decisions within the criteria set by the Design and Engineering department on the projects.
Support design coordination and liaise with Clients and Subcontractors, acting as discipline expert in interfacing with specialized subconsultants
Minimum Requirements:
Required
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an accredited institution
Minimum 15 years’ experience in geotechnical, structural, bridge, roadway, pavement, drainage
Proven analytical, numerical and industry design standards knowledge
Strong multi-tasking, time management and personal prioritization skills
Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills
Active Professional Engineer (PE or PENG) license
Preferred
Doctorate (PhD) in Engineering preferred
Proven understanding of constructability and construction practices
Proven ability to identify construction risks or design optimization opportunities to provide Company with a competitive advantage in innovation or cost reductions
Ability to lead forensic construction analysis regarding post-construction documentation, data gathering, analysis and causal determination
Able to work efficiently in a high pressure, time sensitive work environment
Proven ability to delegate work in an effective way to share knowledge and grow internal team with experience
Developing skills to identify strength and growth opportunities in direct team and provide support, knowledge or coaching to develop strong Company team members
Proven knowledge regarding constructability codes and requirements for designated work
