Join a dynamic, value-driven, client- and community-focused environment where your work creates a lasting positive impact for the people and communities we serve.

Core Responsibilities

• Manage geotechnical projects from proposal through completion, including planning, field execution, budgets, schedules, and deliverable quality.
• Assist with planning, coordinating, and interpreting geotechnical field and laboratory programs (SPT borings, test pits, percolation tests, pavement/earthwork evaluations, and ground improvement support as applicable).
• Prepare and support preparation of geotechnical engineering reports, calculations, and recommendations (foundation, earthwork, and site development), with QA/QC review support from senior staff.
• Provide construction phase services: site visits, earthwork/foundation observations, pavement evaluations as needed, issue resolution, and clear communication of recommendations.
• Support CMT operations: assist with scheduling, technician coordination, daily field coverage, reporting turnaround, and client responsiveness.
• Assist with proposal preparation and business development support (scope write-ups, fee inputs, client communications, and follow-ups).
