  • Career development and certification reimbursement.
  • Opportunity to work on a nationally significant infrastructure project with career longevity and growth potential.

Focus:

  • Direct daily operations of a geotechnical testing lab, ensuring safe and compliant practices in all activities.
  • Supervise lab staff, assign tasks, and coordinate training initiatives for both lab and field technicians.
  • Oversee the calibration and maintenance of geotechnical testing equipment and instrumentation.
  • Manage documentation workflows and uphold quality standards for FDOT, AASHTO, ASTM, and other agency compliance.
  • Serve as point of contact for internal audits and external lab accreditation processes.
  • Optimize workflows to ensure timely, accurate testing and clear communication of results to project stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with project and department leadership to ensure lab readiness across all phases of work.
  • Support quality management and safety documentation including SOP and QMS updates.
  • May serve in a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) capacity as needed.
  • Physical ability to lift heavy materials and equipment (70+ lbs) regularly.

Skill Set:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or related field preferred.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in geotechnical or construction materials testing, ideally on large-scale infrastructure or DOT projects.
  • Hands-on experience testing soils, concrete, asphalt, and masonry.
  • Familiarity with FDOT MAC system and state lab certification processes is highly desirable.
  • Proven leadership experience in a lab setting.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Certifications Preferred:
