  • Serve as a technical advisor and mentor to junior staff
  • Collaborate directly with clients to define scopes, communicate findings, and deliver solutions
  • Participate in business development, marketing, and proposal efforts
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Master's preferred)
  • 5–8+ years of geotechnical engineering experience
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required
  • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to manage projects of moderate size and complexity independently
