Positions:

• GS-0810-12 Civil Engineer (Geotechnical), Savannah District Office, Savannah GA (Engineering Division)
  
  Position Description: Serves as a civil engineer specialist in geotechnical engineering and foundation design on the staff of a design organization responsible for planning, and design of new and/or extension, conversion, or modernization of existing buildings or facilities sites/complexes. Attends conferences with division and regional representatives and various design agencies of the Air Force, Army and National Guard; coordinates and consults with other planning and design activities in connection with scope and design of geotechnical projects and in obtaining necessary and current design criteria. Applies the latest design and construction techniques to all type project sites.
  
  1. Performs foundation analysis and design for assigned civil works, military and Hazardous, Toxic, and Radiological Waste (HTRW) projects such as earth, dams, levees, dredge disposal dikes, bridges, buildings, and other structures supported by soil. Makes recommendations as to the most suitable site and type foundation for such structures with respect to soil conditions. Responsible for the coordination of planning and design efforts with those in other specialties to insure compatibility of approach and optimum results. Perform geotechnical engineering aspects associated with USACE dam and levee infrastructure risk management.  
  
  2. Prepares seepage, stability, and settlement analyses for earth embankments for landfills, levees, dikes, and dams. Participates in the development and review of risk assessments, analyses of potential failure modes, and issue evaluation studies. Prepares technical reports and design documents using the results of the above analyses.  
  
  3. Performs design of slope protection for river and harbor banks and beach preservation or restoration. Designs rock groins, jetties, and breakwaters using hydraulic data furnished by other District organizations.  
  
  4. Plans, assigns, schedules, and coordinates subsurface investigations for designated projects with other organizations and utility locators. Plans, assigns, schedules and coordinates the soil testing program for assigned projects. Analyzes subsurface investigation logs and laboratory test reports for the determination of soil strength and construction characteristics. Prepares foundation design and other reports related to site specific material evaluations, earthwork and site improvement requirements, and foundation design criteria.  
  
  5. Prepares drawings, earthwork specifications, and other design documents for geotechnical portion of assigned projects including landfills, levees, dikes, dams, shore protection, ocean groins and jetties, and building foundations.  
  
  6. Completes plans, specifications, and reports using appropriate computer software including Microsoft Office products, Micro Station, DAMRAE, Arc/GIS, and the Corps’ Levee Inspection Tool.  
  
  7. Designs and coordinates the installation, monitoring, and reduction of data for instrumentation systems for civil, military, and HTRW projects. Prepares instrumentation design documents. 
  
   
• GS-0810-12 Civil Engineer, Savannah District Office, Savannah GA (Engineering Division)
  
  Position Description: Serves as a civil engineer specialist in pavement and site design on the staff of a design organization responsible for planning, and design of new and/or extension, conversion, or modernization of existing buildings or facilities sites/complexes. Assignments involve performance of office and field design duties associated with in house design and architectural/engineering review on project sites with diverse climatic, geographic, and environmental conditions that involves new pavements (airfields, highways, streets, parking lots), building sites/complexes earthwork grading, erosion control, storm water, and storm water quality designs. Applies the latest design and construction techniques to all type project sites.
  
  1. Performs technical design, contract document preparation, review, assessment, and provides guidance, including the resolution of complex civil site design issues, development of CADD 3D site models and drawings, specifications, and design analysis, obtain erosion/sedimentation control and storm water quality permits of projects in GA, NC and SC, as well as the preparation of appropriate documents for agency officials, client agencies, and contract Architect-Engineer (A-E)/Design-Build (D-B) firms.
  
  2. Design new pavement design and/or rehabilitation of airfield runways, taxiways and/or aprons to include DoD criteria for Army and AF airfields, soil conditions, subgrade supporting characteristics, design requirements.
  
  3. Design new site complex including roads, parking lots, railroads, TEMF hardstands, recreation facilities, parks, site support all facilities types from DFAC, Barracks, COFs, Admin Headquarters etc., culvert and storm water drainage systems, ditches and channels taking into account soil conditions, environmental wetlands and endangered species, and installation specific requirements.
  
  4. Design analysis includes but not limited to erosion/sedimentation control, pavement thickness, and various types of hydraulic analyses.
  
  5. Conducts or directs the conduct of investigations of project site to determine (for new construction) feasibility of proposed project; topography; and essential site configuration; preliminary site features and utility cost scope, condition of pavements, and storm drainage systems and essential data prior to initiating design. Conduct site investigations to include reports reflecting unusual site conditions, remedial actions, cause of distressed airfield and roadway pavements, site erosion problems and surcharge storm drainage pipes and channel systems with recommendations and cost studies for corrective measures. Evaluates data obtained and incorporating relevant features into design consideration and solutions.
  
  6. Prepares statement of civil engineering scope of work and detailed man-hour estimates used for negotiating with A-E firms for design services (military and civil works); and all pertinent correspondence, plans, reports, state permits and A/E contract criteria necessary for project completion.
