Recruiter summary

Dam-safety and foundations engineer, ready for a senior seat.

Grant is a geotechnical engineer with roughly five years of focused embankment-dam and geostructural experience. He came up through field investigation and lab work, then moved into seepage and slope-stability modeling, and he is now the person on his team who owns the numerical models on Part 12 dam-safety assignments. He holds an EIT in Colorado, passed the FE, and is sitting for the PE this fall.

We placed Grant into a technical screen ourselves. He can defend a phreatic surface, walk you through an exit-gradient screening, and explain why he chose limit equilibrium over FEM on a given cut. That is rarer than the resume keyword count suggests. He is looking for a firm where dam safety and geostructural work is the core of the practice, not a side line.

He is represented exclusively by Bedrock for this search. The full CV below carries his licensure numbers, modeling stack, and selected project write-ups.

Selected experience

What he has actually carried.

Irrigation reservoir, Part 12 dam-safety support 2024

Steady-state and transient seepage modeling of a 42-ft zoned embankment. Evaluated the phreatic surface and exit gradients against internal-erosion screening criteria and drafted the supporting narrative for the dam-safety review.

State-highway cut slope, remediation and monitoring 2024

Back-analyzed a marginally stable clay-shale cut, sized a toe buttress and horizontal drains, and stood up an inclinometer and piezometer monitoring program to confirm performance.

Water-treatment expansion, foundation investigation 2023

Ran the subsurface exploration, settlement analysis, and drilled-shaft recommendations for structures bearing on a variable weathered-bedrock profile.
