What you will be getting:

  • Small firm feel with a larger firm reputation and resources.

  • Collaboration with a staff of interrelated professionals dedicated to providing high-level expertise on a variety of projects differing in size and scope.
  • Ownership opportunities and a clear path to Principal.

  • Mentoring and managing GZA staff performing construction oversight and investigations.
  • Computer modeling of stormwater infiltration, groundwater mounding, soil and rock slope stability, dewatering flow analyses, and settlement programs.
  • Reviewing construction drawings for compliance with project specifications.
  • Conducting site compliance inspections.
  • GZA emphasizes a One Company environment, and as a member of our team, you may be asked to assist on projects and tasks outside of your primary responsibilities.
What you will be bringing:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Geotechnical Engineering required; Master’s degree with Geotechnical Engineering specialization preferred.
  • PE/PG strongly preferred.
  • At least 5 years of relevant field experience.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, problem solving, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to perform field tasks and activities and communicate remotely as required by the project.
  • Established computer skills using MS Office and geotechnical engineering software (experience with programs such as SEEP/W, SLOPE/W, L-pile, DeepEX, Settle 3D or similar).
  • Ability to work locally and regionally. Candidate must possess a valid driver’s license in good standing and have a consistent means of reliable transportation to/from work.
  • 40-hour OSHA HAZWOPER training and environmental investigation or NJDEP soil evaluator experience is a plus.

The base salary for this position may range between $86,000.00 to $125,000.00. The actual base salary and total compensation will depend on many factors, including location, candidate experience, education, professional licensure, and other qualifications.
