Job Details

We are seeking qualified applicants with substantial exposure to geotechnical engineering. This field carries some of the highest liabilities, so judgment must be exercised with the utmost discretion.

For candidates with less than five years of direct geotechnical experience, a master's degree (to ensure the necessary theoretical understanding) and a PE license are vital. Our most prestigious work involves ports, highways, and the world's largest medical district-projects where only those with a deep technical understanding can succeed.
