Braun Intertec is seeking a highly motivated traveling Staff Engineer to join our team. This role involves frequent travel to support renewable energy, infrastructure, and mission critical projects. Renewable energy and infrastructure projects are large‑scale developments that generate electricity and move it across long distances.

Mission critical projects are land‑intensive developments that create unique geotechnical challenges, such as major grade changes, heavily loaded structures, complex below‑grade utility and duct bank networks, and fast‑paced construction schedules. Their speed and complexity demand close oversight to quickly identify and resolve issues, reduce risk for all stakeholders, and provide the technical expertise needed to exceed client expectations.
