The position offers hands-on involvement in a wide range of infrastructure and development projects, along with opportunities to lead staff, manage clients, and support business growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead geotechnical design and analysis for foundations, pile systems, underpinning, and earth support systems
  • Oversee field investigations and construction-phase services (earthwork, grading, deep foundations, ground improvement, excavation support, etc.)
  • Prepare technical reports, proposals, engineering recommendations, and construction documentation
  • Manage projects end-to-end including scope, schedule, budget, and client communication
  • Support and review contract administration (change orders, invoicing, billing)
  • Supervise, mentor, and develop junior engineers and field staff
  • Build and maintain client relationships and support new business development opportunities

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Geotechnical Engineering (Master’s preferred)
  • PE license required
  • 6+ years of geotechnical engineering experience
  • 3+ years of field experience in geotechnical investigations and construction observation
  • Strong background in deep foundations, grading, subgrade preparation, ground improvement, and excavation support systems
  • Experience preparing technical reports, specifications, and design recommendations
  • Strong project management and client-facing experience
  • Comfortable mentoring junior staff and working in a team environment
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to job sites

Why This Role

  • Join a well-established firm with 55+ years of stability and reputation, now in a growth phase
  • High visibility role with real opportunity to influence projects and teams
  • Mix of technical depth, client interaction, and leadership responsibility
  • Strong path for continued career growth and expanded responsibility
