  • Supervise and mentor junior engineers and technical staff, supporting professional development and technical training initiatives.
  • Identify project-related risks and apply company risk management policies to protect project outcomes and business interests.
  • Support and contribute to marketing, proposal development, sales efforts, and client relationship management.
  • Serve as an Authorized Project Reviewer, providing independent technical and quality oversight as required.
Education/Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in geotechnical engineering, including responsibility for complex or multidiscipline projects.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required (GA registration preferred)
  • Demonstrated experience with geotechnical investigations, engineering analysis, report preparation, and construction support.
  • Knowledge of applicable industry standards and regulations (ASTM, AASHTO, DOT, ASCE, OSHA).
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects, mentor staff, and communicate effectively with clients and project teams.
  • Excellent technical report writing and communication skills.
  • Valid driver's license with acceptable driving record required.
Benefits:
  • Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
