Geotechnical Engineer

Senior Project Geotechnical Engineer – Northeast, Ohio (Hybrid)

I'm currently supporting a well-established geotechnical engineering consultancy in Northeast Ohio that is looking to add a Senior Geotechnical Engineer to its growing team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced geotechnical engineer who wants to join a business that is moving away from traditional, paper-based processes and embracing modern technologies , including digital field logging , streamlined reporting, and more efficient project delivery systems.

The company has significant expansion plans over the coming years and is looking for someone who wants to grow alongside the business rather than simply fill a role. There is genuine scope to progress into technical leadership, project management, and even play a key role in establishing and leading future office locations as the company continues to expand.
