Tetra Tech is adding a Pavement Engineer to our team based in Houston, TX.

Your Role:

Tetra Tech is seeking a Pavement Engineer to join our Houston office to support a growing portfolio of transportation infrastructure projects. This is an integrated role for a developing professional who wants to build experience across both pavement engineering and pavement management, working across the full lifecycle of roadway assets.

The successful candidate will contribute to pavement design, rehabilitation, preservation, forensic investigations, condition assessment, performance analysis, treatment selection, and network-level planning. While the role is based in Houston and will support projects across Texas, it will also contribute to projects throughout North America, providing exposure to a wide range of agency standards, climates, materials, and pavement management practices.

This is not a narrow design-only or data-only role. It is designed for an engineer who wants to develop across the full pavement lifecycle while gaining exposure to both Texas-specific programs and broader North American projects, combining engineering, data, and infrastructure decision-making.

This position is primarily office-based in Houston, with collaboration across distributed teams. Travel is required periodically to support field investigations, condition assessments, and project coordination activities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline, with a focus on pavement engineering
• 3-6 years of relevant experience in pavement engineering, pavement management, transportation infrastructure, or related fields
• Strong analytical, technical documentation, and communication skills, with a demonstrated commitment to accuracy, quality, and consistency
• Ability to work with and interpret infrastructure datasets and support defensible engineering decisions

Life at Tetra Tech:

The perks of working at Tetra Tech include:

• Comprehensive and market-competitive benefits.
• Merit-based financial rewards.
• Flexibility and company-wide commitment to work/life balance.
• Collaborative team atmosphere that values the contributions of all employees.
• Learning and development opportunities for ongoing professional growth.
